Cheese - which of you spend a lot of dosh each week on cheese and what do you get?

[DarthVader]

I am interested to know what cheesaholics are getting these days

cooking cheese indeed! The cheddar is possibly the most orgasmic piece of dairy produce I've ever tasted - that's buying it from the supermarket totally gone for me now...

They are not foodies if they think that cheddar is a cooking cheese. They have obviously never encountered Montgomery's Cheddar which is up there with the finest cheeses on the planet.

Flibbertyjibbet - we love the Hawes Wensleydale too, courtesy of dh growing up there. But it has to be the real stuff, in the muslin, and as fresh as possible, so just about impossible to get here. We took ds1 there to watch the cheese being made when he was about 2 - and ever since when anyone takes his photograph and tells him to "say cheese" he's replied "Wensleydale"!

We tried to take Wensleydale cheese and jacobs cream crackers to Spain once when visiting my sister and her 'wallace and grommit' fan children.
But the check in people tried to confiscate my cheeeeeeese because of the regualations in force at the time. Did we let them take it? No!! We went and sat on our suitcases and scoffed the lot!!

What a poncey thread, and I am an uber-cheese ponce.

Staples that are always in the house:

block of parmesan
Mature cheddar
Blue, usually Roquefort or St Agur
Mascarpone

Then random passing cheeses depending on what we fancy, and who has shopped that week.
