Re: Top 5 of all time...
Can’t wait til the next Olympics, at age 10 I think the twins will be glued to the screen. They were a bit too young to appreciate the last one but looking forward to watching them enjoy this one. Hopefully it will go ahead this year!

Re: Top 5 of all time...
Favourite types of cheese!!? I know a few of you are connoisseurs on here. Me, I’m a girl of simple tastes, (no comments please!) So my top 5 would be fairly mainstream
1. Brie
2. Emmental
3. Mozzarella (melted with ham on a sandwich
)
4. Camembert (again, hot with crusty bread to dip)
5. Jarlsberg
Hungry now!

2. Port Salut
3. Belton Farm aged Red Leicester
4. Lidl Somerset Extra Mature Crunchy Cheddar
5. Parmesan
1-4 have to be eaten with a baguette. 5 - grated on spag bol or shaved over a salad.

Re: Top 5 of all time...
Wow. There are only three cheeses which I'd go as far as to say I dislike - Emmental, Jarlsberg and Appenzeller.Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 4:11 pmFavourite types of cheese!!?

Five favourite cheeses? This needs some serious thought. Serious business

There are many, many noteable cheese out there (Stilton, Brie, manchego et al) but come on, they all pale to insignificance when there’s a simple extra mature cheddar in play....

Re: Top 5 of all time...
Nothing exotic. Stilton mushroom cheese bake is about as good as it gets for a cheese dish for me. Don't like red or waxy cheeses so Cheddar is best for general. Wife prefers Lancashire or Cheshire.dave the minion wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 6:09 pm1 - 5: cheddar

Re: Top 5 of all time...
Meh. Only place cheddar belongs is grated over pasta or in a cheese toastie otherwise there’s far more interesting cheeses around.Abdoulaye's Twin wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 4:36 pmAny list omitting a high quality cheddar is without merit in my bookGooner Girl wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 4:11 pmFavourite types of cheese!!?

Re: Top 5 of all time...
Ughhh. Honestly that list is more or less a list of cheese I go out of my way to avoid. Apart from mozzy which is fine in cooking but basically tasteless apart from the real stuff in Italy.Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 4:11 pmFavourite types of cheese!!?

Strong cheese is my heaven. Cheddars. Crunchy mature red Leicester’s and double gloucesters. Got to be mature and strong.
Fresh Parmesan also.
Can’t rank them. But jarlsberg I literally have no idea how anyone can eat that. Like chomping on play dough.

Re: Top 5 of all time...
I'm no connoisseur where cheese is concerned but;
1) Roule
2) Smoked cheddar
3) Black bomber - thanks BP!
4) Mozarella
5) Lancashire
Stilton is minging by the way. I used to work on a council estate where the ground floor flats were riddled with damp and largely occupied by scruffy old blokes. Their flats all smelled of Stilton and were just as mouldy.

Re: Top 5 of all time...
You obviously haven't tried much in the way of proper cheese then. Not the stuff you get in a typical supermarket. Given how long the post takes here, wait until we're back to winter and I'll send you some proper cheese. I stock around 150 cheeses, of which Cathedral City etc is only a tiny proportion of themGooner Girl wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 7:05 pmMeh.

As for Parmesan it has to be proper aged stuff to be worthy.

I’ve only tried black bomber to date. I picked up a piece of their truffle flavoured cheddar for Bruce, but I didn’t fancy it.

Woah! If you’re offering samples!
I introduced GG to Black Bomber. Not sure she enjoyed it as much as Mr GG did.
In return, GG introduced me to baguette and cheese. I’d always been a cracker person before, as I’m not particularly into Camembert etc. I’m addicted now, as is Miss BP.

Re: Top 5 of all time...
Definitely try it. It's pure joy on an oatcake. I'm not one for truffles so have tried the truffle trove one. They also do a tomato vodka chutney that goes well with the black bomber. For chutneys the Arran apple and hot beetroot are very good with a bit of cheese or a sarnie.Burnden Paddock wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 11:24 pmAbdoulaye's Twin wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 11:04 pmGood choice.
