About cheeses - what are your favourites? How do you like to eat them?

Marianne72

I love cheese, soft or hard, except for gorgonzola! I am puzzled why mozzarella is used for pizza as it doesn't taste of anything [unless anyone can recommend a particular make?]. My favourite is vintage cheddar on toast with Branston small chunk pickle, or a simple flavouring like tumeric or vinegar. Also, a ploughmans with a large baked potato, home-made coleslaw [chopped radish, grated carrot & onion with Heinz Seriously Good mayo], crusty bread and a glass of lager.

  • Once a party favourite, the cheese fondue. I personally found the smell of it unbearable. What’s your view?

    I tried making fondue but the whole thing went stringy then into a gluey ball! In childhood we made a cheap 'Welsh rarebit' by grilling sliced cheese with mik then dipping white sliced bread in the caramelized mix. A bit sloppy but good if you are feeling low or have painful teeth and can't bear the hard mouth-feel of toast. These days, I prefer genuine Welsh rarebit, made with a splash of beer. Yum! I could eat a slice right now. Perhaps I'll go to the library then buy some cheese from the garage!
