Part Chav Eats Semi Posh Cheeses

[Stirlingsays]

So here I start my occasional toe dipping into the world of random cheeses I acquire for the purposes of idle curiosity.

As Tesco's is local first up is this little number.




As you can see it describes itself as 'Coastal Bite Cheddar', the description on the back stating that, 'mature cheddar cheese, blended with mushroom, black olive, and a truffle sauce'.

My verdict is the taste is like eating the contents of a can of mushroom soup combined with a strong cheddar taste.....I didn't really notice much of the truffles and olives. Maybe that's due to my chavvy palate, I couldn't tell you.

Did I like it? What's my rating?

I'll give it a 6.8 out of 10.

If you like mushrooms with Cheese I think this would be a bit of a gem find, however I've always been a bit 'meh' when it comes to mushrooms. The cheddar is pleasingly strong....or should I say 'intense', as the packaging seems excited to announce.

I shall be watching this thread. The description on the back would put me off buying. Looking forward to you trying my favourite - Pie d’ Angloys.

Pié d'Angloys is a soft, full-flavored, and creamy French cheese with a white rind and a golden interior:

• Taste: Rich, intense, and pungent with a sweet hint of honey
• Texture: Smooth and melt-in-your-mouth
• Rind: Firm and ivory-colored
• Origin: Burgundy, France
• • Milk source: Pasteurized cow's milk
  • Name: Means "Englishman's foot"
  • Created by: Cistercian monks in the 14th century
  • Uses: Great on a cheese board or served with crusty bread

You can buy Pié d'Angloys at many major supermarkets and artisan cheese shops in the United Kingdom. It's also available at Ocado, Amazon, Panzer's, Tesco, and ASDA. The cheese should be kept refrigerated between +2 ℃ +8 ℃.

is it a similar texture to Camembert

 

[syd snot]

Coulommiers.

From Seine etc Marne.
A soft ripened cheese with a white penicillium rind.
Can be pasteurised or unpasteurised made with cows milk and when unpasteurised will have partially red rind.
Creamy and soft normally eaten with crusty bread or breadsticks and a nice glass of red wine of choice.

Of the Brie family but with a nutter flavour and richer texture.

Softer and creamier. It’s like a baked Camembert but obviously not hot. Don’t eat it chilled. Let it come up to room temperature but finish it by 1 day after cutting into it because it tastes like a medicine cabinet otherwise, probably due to the pasteurised milk and rind used.

Added to the list, cheers.

this will probably offend a few..
however,
old amsterdam, strong aged gouda, wrapped in streaky bacon (cheese in blanket)
oven cook about 20 mins.
as its a very hard cheese it will take a bit of cooking without pissing everywhere.
remove & leave to cool & go firm again.
very strong flavours.

This thread stinks.

This thread stinks.

It's a bit cheesy.

For anyone particularly interested in the subject Ned Palmer's A Cheesemonger's History of the British Isles is a good read with some good recommendations to try.

Handy.

The only cheese I am interested in is the one that our rivals will be eating e.g. Hard Cheese.

I believe it's in the same aisle as Crow and Whine.

😀

With a dash of regret it goes well with Humble pie.

It's out of stock in Tesco's but I'll get it when they get some in.

Second on this try out of new cheeses to my chavvy palate is 'West Country Farmhouse Cheddar'.



I thought that this little number might be a little non descript, if for no other reason than the description on the back just said, 'farmhouse cheddar'. However, regardless of the lack of fanfare I really quite liked it.

The taste was a melt in the mouth creamy and salty (as the actress said to the bishop), but it wasn't as strong as some cheddars that blow the roof of your mouth off....but still strong enough to be pleasant and not mild.....I don't know what the front of the packaging was going on about with the 'tangy' though.

The rating? This is a good one that I'll buy again, I'll give it an 8 out of 10.
But if you don't like salty cheeses I'd give it a miss.

Is Canadian Cheddar still available? Haven't seen it for a while but some of that was whip cracking stuff.

I think you'll find that's a strain of medicinal marijuana these days.

A different sort of crackers.
