    Add me to the list of cheese nibbling fat bastards!

    Ritz, Cheddars, Tuc (Especially the sandwich ones!) but all only ever without cheese, or maybe a simple cheddar.

    Marco, "Brie de Meaux" was what I meant when I said a "really ripe brie" earlier - if it isn't runny it isn't worth having!

    Good thread Andre, I've got some new suggestions to try, and I love the Copenhagen anecdote Chris - sounds fab!

    You're obviously a man of taste, Alex

    I do love nice cheese, but TBH, I rarely eat it... It's only because it's Christmas and we've bought in some goodies that I'm actually having any!

    Hehehe!!

    I'm a country lad, as regulars here will know, but Copenhagen is a fantastic city, as cities go. It's only a couple or three hours or so away from home if you live in the UK. You should go - it's great.

    At the moment blue would have to be Swaledale, goat Ribblesdale, Sheep orignal Wensleydale, Chedder Montgomery and soft vacherin. Also any thing from the Errington creamery.

    I'm having a day off work today - I've got a job on with shifting hi-fi & records & CD's around - (more on that in a more appropriate place later).
    But we nipped out to get some bits & bobs, one of which was some bread & cheese for lunch. I happened across a lump of a cheese that I've never had before. Well I have now! And it's great.


    Pont L'Eveque from Normandy.



    Although you wouldn't want to try it if you read this description from:

    http://www.thefiftybest.com/food/best_cheese/5/
    Pont-l'Évêque is yet another cheese to take advantage of the fine quality of Norman milk, but this time, we got a lil' stinker. Pont-l'Évêque is a small, flat square with a thick full bodied paste. The stinky aromas of the rind barely touch the paste, which instead has its own eggy funk, and a flavor reminiscent of canned cooked vegetables.
