A christmas cheese dilemma....

[FELINEGUITARS]

If I had to pick only one, then as a Yorkshireman it should be Wensleydale,

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.

you haven't lived my friend until you've tried a slice of cheese with a rich fruit cake.

Or Herring with strawberry. A good blend I find.

[WezV]

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"?)

[38thBeatle]

er.. I was kidding-I just loved the idea of someone trying it out ( the herring and strawberry).
