Ah, I see - no worries. We mostly tend to eat cheese after a meal when we're finishing off a bottle of wine
Wine (or any form of alcohol) is a bad subject for me just now, as I'm off it for lent. Six weeks without a drop of booze touching my lips.......

I bought this recently
Bishops Land, Vintage Cheddar from Aldi. 400g for £3.00.
It’s not the smoothest of tastes but it’s a lot more palatable than the soapy crap the supermarkets tend to sell at the same price as mild Cheddar.
I made a rather nice cheese sauce for cauliflower cheese with it so it seem to cook quite well.
Single spur balanced Mains. Self built music server with 3 seperate linear PSU, Intel i5, 16 GB RAM no hard drive (various Linux OS). Benchmark Dac2 HGC, single ended XLR interconnects/Belkin cable. Exposure 21RC Pre, Super 18 Power (recap & modified). Modded World Audio HD83 HP amp. Hand built Monitors with external crossovers , Volt 250 bass & ABR, Scanspeak 13M8621 Mid & Scanspeak D2905/9300 Hi. HD595 & Beyer 880 (600 ohm) cans.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

A Montagne Saint Emilion, 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Suvignon.
As a diabetic I have to watch the amount of cheese I eat, but this wine is ideal to accompany mature cheeses - not that I need any reason to finish off a bottle.
Hold fast - I applaude and admire your commitment.

Not sure if it's authentic or simply created by marketing people, but there's now a mature version of Leerdammer which knocks the socks off any plastic cheddar in a sandwich.

Back to cheese, eh?
We bought some rather nice unpasteurised cheese this afternoon -
Morbier
It comes from a little village in France called Morbier in Franche-Comté, near the Swiss border.
The vein is from ash laid down to separate the evening milk from the morning milk (keeps the flies off!)
Nice nutty & creamy flavour.

Does the cheese below the vein taste different to the above? stupid question i know but it looks softer above?
