Do you enjoy hygge (Scandinavian cozzines)?

That sounds like my idea of heaven. I like to imagine sitting in an isolated cabin in the middle of dense woodland by an open fire, nothing around for miles. 

Perfect just me and my wet dog. Some cheese fondue and the rain tapping on the outside deck with all the golden leaves falling

Some cheese fondue

Oh, no! I draw the line at cheese! (Preferable a line about half a mile away.)

I have and most of them are made with coconut fat which really upsets my stomach, I get a similar colicky and painful reaction to when I eat meat. I tried a lactose free one too and didn't get on with that either.

Your humour cheers me up.

Oops, sorry! 

JHFC! I just told you people that cheese upsets me and you haven't shut up about it since! At least have the decency to move your posts a little further away from mine! I'll never get my hygge back at this rate!

I'm forced to live a life without cheese, I can have a little parmessan but no more, or it goes straight through me and I used to love cheese.

Have you tried any of the vegan cheeses? There's a really wide range of types now, but it might take a few tries to find one that you like.

My favourite at the moment is Cathedral City plant-based mature cheddar flavour, which comes in a good-sized block.

Or, for a smokey, cheddar-style option, there's Applewood's vegan version, which melts nicely on toast.

I think stoves and open fires are great when it's a choice and not your only form of heating

Yeah 

I get that, totally, I have a stove and there is a down side, it doesn't work for everyone,

Its good for me to see the other side of the coin and I'm so pleased you can have heat at the flick of a switch.

On the cheese front, it's making me appreciate it even more knowing that some people love it but can't indulge. At least you can still have a small taste.

I just enjoy being cosy, I'm glad not to have an open fire or stove anymore, the ash gets everywhere, everythings always dusty, my breathing has improved loads since I moved out of a house where the only heating was wood or coal fired. I bet all the books and ads don't show having to clean the stove or fireplace out, or contastantly keep having to dust and hoover. Or how one side of the room can be toasty warm and the otherside freezing. I love chopping wood and kindling, but when you have to do it everyday before lighting the fire so as you can be warm in an hour, it's less fun.
