I love cheese, but being diabetic I'm only allowed a matchbox-sized portion of cheese a week. A week!? - I use to eat that amount in one session. Not any more. :(

Cheers, Russell - and we'd have loved to have shared your company! We had a few friends over to watch the footy (Champions League final). It was a good night, and nice to do things properly:cool:

Not in our house, old boy - we watch from the director's box!:eyebrows:;)

Nice bit of Shropshire Red today. Very nice too with an oatcake.
I love washed-rind cheese, Milleens is excellent and rather inexpensive as far as washed-rind cheeses go.
Very stinky and utterly delicious.
Just took a stock of what's in the fridge right now.
Manchego
Suluguni -- way too salty for me but my wife loves it
Pecorino Romano (for salads and pasta) and Grana Padano (for cooking)
Tomme de Savoie -- one of my favourite cheeses, firm but tender and very savory
Bleu d'Auvergne (probably my second favourite blue cheese right after Gorgonzola)
Saint Paulin -- very mild cheese similar to Port Salut
Cantal -- never tried it before and haven't opened it yet, it's supposed to be similar to Cheddar but more sophisticated due to it being French :lol:
Well , all I can say is , the only place to be ,in relation to this thread , is at Nantwich and the International Cheese awards yesterday!! (31st July)
Althought the whole of the show was cancelled to visitors (weather ,rain etc ) they said the cheese tent was open for free and come and buy as much cheese as you can!!!
So, having had to take a trip to the accountants 5 miles up the road from Nantwich , we called in and ended up buying some cheap prize winning cheeses . Yum
We had a Belton selection (they won 15 golds awards and a load of silver and bronze too.) (We supply milk to Belton !!!)
Some Gorgonzola , Feta , Arragoni , 2 blocks of Arlas prize winning Stilton , various mature cheddars ,and all this whilst eating a shed loads of samples :eek:
I had to laugh as I overheard a steward ,telling this couple ,how an old lady last yr , nearly stole a block of Cheddar , off the trestle tables loaded with all the entries ! She had managed to slide a 25 kg block ,maybe , a foot by one and a half foot ,by 6 ins ,into her shopping buggy thing , and it was only as she struggled to wheel it off she was noticed :D
Well worth a visit - cheeses from all over the globe . A pungent place :eyebrows:
