I've had to limit myself to only one type of cheese for Christmas this year (in training for a few half marathons in February :o).
If you could choose only one cheese for Christmas what would it be? I think I'm going to go for a bit of Stilton.

If I could choose only one piece of cheese for Christmas it would be.....
.... the Paul Stanley solo album.
Sorry.
"A few half marathons in February"? Are you mad, man? :? :wink:
-
hmmm, provolone or swiss cheese, if I do say so myself :D
-
One cheese mmmmm! No drinking? Wine perhaps? A marathon? For the winter over there all of the above and a Jalsberg too! And the day of the marathon : Pasta, olive oil and a bit of Parmesan , no tomato!!

LU!!!what a "Renaissance Man" you are... :D

Ooh, this just gave me an idea for a thread. Hope you don't mind. :mrgreen:

Edit: I forgot to contribute to this thread but I'm afraid as someone from Wisconsin I couldn't possibly choose just one type of cheese. That's just blasphemy donchaknow.
-
You mean there is more than one type of cheese?
Sainsbury's mature cheddar.
-
Emmental for me, no question :)
-
Jarlsberg indeed (Although it's a great burger topping cheese :0)
some of this (http://www.northumberlandcheese.co.uk/acatalog/reiver-large.jpg)

I forgot about that - lovely nutty sort of taste. Maybe I'll have two cheeses :)

Which one - the 1978 one or "Live to Win"?
-
For me it would be Stilton by a mile, second: melt down some Raclette with some french bread.

That Roclette sounds good! Wish I had never posted this now. You could say I am cheesed off.

Cheshire.. the ultimate christmas cheese!

You got me there.... I've never even heard of "Live to Win"! :lol:
Does it have the Stanley cheese factor in full effect?
To go back to the original question, can't really suggest anything as I'm not a big cheese fan. Certainly nothing mild or runny. Extra extra EXTRA mature cheddar, straight out of the fridge (NOT at room temperature :x ).
-
one type of christmas cheese? it has to be stilton...
-
Venezuelan Beaver cheese?
-
Stilton FTW.
-
If I had to pick only one, then as a Yorkshireman it should be Wensleydale, but as a cheese fanatic I would pick Taleggio (though Morbier would be giving it a close run). As a real cheese fan though, I would eat any cheese (and I certainly wouldn't be limited to one)!!

i never knew you were such a cheese fan Phil!
-
I'm not a huge cheese fan, but as long as no one says brie then anything should be fine.
-
I'd just go for a mature cheddar.. seems the most sensible option!

Why is that the most sensible option? To me stilton is the most sensible christmas cheese!
-
probably stilton. though i wouldn't want to have to narrow it down to one.
why not just buy smaller amounts of different types of cheese? or am i missing something?
-
Cheddar is versatile and everyone likes it.
-
just a really strong cheddar..... and a stilton...... and a cream cracker
-

sometimes I just don't think logically :? :)
Cheers!
-
But to truly enjoy Stilton you do need a large chunk of it - like at least 1/4 of a round. Same with a good brie - it tastes better if you get a whole round and let it go runny......hhmmmmmm......cheeeeeseee
-
^ yeah, i suppose that's right... :)
-
Brie nice for french bread. Regiano Parmisan for full on flavour with real Italian smoked ham and balsamic vinegar.
But it's a christmas cheese thread so dairy lea or stilton.

I have to find that for my neice who is 6 and a massive Wallace & Gromit fan as well as being a cheese lover! Wensleydale was the cheese I grew up with on a piece of christmas cake.

I have tried many things in my life but never something like that!
-
cheese!?!? on christmas cake!?!?! aren't there laws against that? :?
-
i have a theory that cheese can go with anything as long as you get the right cheese.... i mean, what food isnt improved by cheese!
there is obviously one exception that proves the rule.... chinese food
-
I think it's got to be some Saint Agur, or some Gorgonzola for me, although Stilton and Brie are very close behind!
Most cheese is good, but i'm not a fan of ones like crumbly Lancashire or Wensleydale... i'll eat cheddar 'til the cows come home though, it's so moreish :)
Can't forget the pickled onions to accompany the cheese and crackers either, love them things!

Interesting. The other day I was given a box of cheese straws, you know the kind of cheesy pastry sticks, but these are covered in icing sugar. I was somewhat dubious but after the initial "It's sweet. It's cheesy. It's sweet... and... cheesy" I managed to get through half the box in the space of a few minutes.

Cheesecake - sweet and cheesy and goes in minutes!

you haven't lived my friend until you've tried a slice of cheese with a rich fruit cake.
wensleydale with christmas cake is taste perfection
-
Or Herring with strawberry. A good blend I find.
-
white chocolate and caviar apparently go quite well
-
Apple and cheese go together well. Thats about as far as I'm willing to take the sweet/sour thing :P
-
I used to always eat cheese and raisins when I was young, I may have to try it again to see if I still like it 8)
-
Must admit I'm having some difficulty with this "cheese - the universal accompaniment" concept. :?
(Or should that be "cheese - the new black"?)
-
er.. I was kidding-I just loved the idea of someone trying it out ( the herring and strawberry).
-
cheesecake is the exception, i think... :?
-
er.. I was kidding-I just loved the idea of someone trying it out ( the herring and strawberry).
I know you were kidding (although I did wonder for a moment if there was a cheese called Herring....).
I don't think anyone else is though.
-
I was worried Philly you know how some people just have to go and try things.
-
All this talk of cheese made me go to the shop - I bought Morbier, Abbaye De Belloc, a really nice soft Brie and Assiago Fresco. I already ate a lot of it!
