Favourite cheese

What's your favourite and what do you eat it with?

Hard to choose between Cheddar and Stilton for me - preferably with digestives. Tried some 'stinking bishop' recently which was pretty impressive.

    not a lover of cheese really but if I had to choose it would be Red Leicester on a Digestive. Only really like Red Leicester, Cheddar, Laughing Cow, Belle Paisy (sp) and Dairylea.

    Stilton or brie, both cost a fortune out here

    Apart from goat cheese there isn't really any locally produced cheese, not something most Chinese people eat.

    Not sure if it’s my favourite - but you should all have a go at this bad boy. 

    All the way from Brockley too.

    Applewood is smoked flavoured  not actually smoked.
  • If you haven't tried Explorateur, I would highly recommend it.

    Looks nice but I imagine it's expensive? 
  • Halloumi or Paneer for me. Plus a bit of Cathedral City Mature

    Really impossible to name a favourite, like virtually all of the ones listed above.

    A pizza isn't complete without gorgonzola.

    Love a bloomer bread doorstep sandwich with either cheddar and piccalilli or red Leicester and branston pickle.

    Brought a selection box back from France a couple of years ago. They stank, absolutely reeked. Delicious though, but there is just no logic to explain why you'd want to eat something that smells like a marathon runner's socks.

    I don't know why I keep opening this thread, I love cheese so much and the selection is terrible here, hopefully my mum can sneak some through customs next month, I managed around 5kg on my last visit.

    My favourite food unfortunately for me. I would say it is something we excel at in this country. I'll probably eat most cheeses as long as they are veggie but I have 3 favourites depending where and when. 

    1. M&S Cornish Cruncher, No.7 on the Richter scale. After eating that every other cheddar is cheese for people who don't like cheese. Sandwiches for work and the ultimate cheese on toast. 

    2. Stilton, (not the cheap stuff), King of all cheese throughout the known world. Sandwich or biscuit at home

    3. Brie. Inoffensive generic something to go with a tomato stuff.  Saturday afternoon sandwich with the wife.
