Part Chav Eats Semi Posh Cheeses

[Teddy Eagle]

I picked this one up the other day, not Midland Eagle's one I think but a similar blue cheese maybe.

Back to the relatively taste safety of a blue cheese today with a Lancashire based creation.

This was a nice experience similar to the St Agur cheese of an earlier post indulgence. The taste wasn't as pleasantly strong as that cheese, introducing itself with a relatively moderate salty taste but it was a little more creamy. So taken together these two are nice variations and definitely better than average.

My rating 7.4.

Blacksticks Blue is another Lancashire variety which is worth trying.

The latest adventure in cheese continues with Roquefort.

I've just witnessed blue cheese extremism. I think this cheese is plotting against the government. People need to be protected against this thing.

The salt levels were so high that my mouth thought I'm was being employed as a fluffer. The texture was on the dry side and ok, but this one wasn't really for me.
This one is for the hardcore blue cheese fans...It's skinhead salt death metal......Compared to this cheese I'm Phil Collins.

My rating? 6

And there was me thinking cheesey Wosits had a bit too much salt in them.

On the subject of Roquefort Stirling, my paper today is running a story saying that young people in France are shunning one of the country's favourite cheeses. Apparently their preference for cheeses with a milder flavour is to blame for a slump in sales of nearly 25% in 16 years.

I have some in my fridge which I am eager to enjoy for my lunch.

That's your surrender monkeys for you (it was never a fair charge but it's an enjoyable one nevertheless).

Scared of a strong cheese just like they are scared of a German in the Ardennes.

I've never heard of it and it seems that Tesco sell a completely different of cheeses to Sainsbury where I shop

Here's a fun one...




Not a proper cheese of course but I thought I'd take a brief detour into something unusual. I suppose you could call this a bit of a party cheese, something likely to get drunk and do inappropriate things at the office get-together.

This however was all on the exterior coating, the cheese itself is a soft cheese that's quite plain tasting and nothing to draw particular comment....but oh, that coating, sweet and crunchy with pineapple and almond....it's looking to make you do something illicit and ill advised.

My rating for this fun little number? 7

You must have gone to some very civilised parties, Stirling, if the cheese selection was a priority.
I have a memory from many years ago at an office party of eating a Babybel without realising it was covered in wax. It was predictably horrible and left me looking like a drunken Dracula.

I'd like to be civilised but I have to admit those parties which end without at least one fight, someone falling over and throwing up and at least two people being told to 'fcuk off', well, that means quite frankly I haven't had a good time.

Those Irish and Scottish genes aren't there for nothing.

Some of those christenings can be rough.
Weddings are the ones. Suddenly everyone who thought it would be a great idea to invite assorted uncles and aunties who hadn't spoken for decades realises that they'd stayed apart for very good reasons and an open bar goes from a single comment to a wild west saloon brawl in minutes while either bride or groom looks on with horror and mounting awareness that their romance might not pan out.

Have you given up on proper cheese now?

Have you given up on proper cheese now?

I think we can have a couple more taste adventures before we invariably drift the thread into obscurity.

I bought three cheeses recently and so here's the first of them:



But is this actually a cheese or someone throwing a chili down your throat.....woah hold on soldier, that horse is a-kicking.

I actually quite like this angry little cheese, it seems to be a Red Leicester base with a ton of spices and chilis and whatever else a typical Mexican could steal added to it. It's so far removed from a normal cheese that they really should check the passport on these things.

My rating 7.7

A nice change....if your digestive system can handle the Mexican chilis and peppers....are they actually Mexican?...don't know....but if you have a dodgey stomach I'd give it a miss as.....well, let's put it like this I wouldn't be expecting a pleasant experience on the John.

The packaging says that it's cheddar

some supermarkets do a hotter grade up, same brand.
thats the regular one.
(bum issues next day, akin to a vindaloo)
I think its M&S do a lot milder red cheese (Gloucester ?)with a gentle chilli but the taste is smoother.

 

[Rudi Hedman]

I’m going to try this cheese one day. Would be good in a burger reckon.

Sounds about right, I don't know my cheese arse from its elbow.

Even hotter! I don't know how some people can take eating the surface of the sun.

I'd love an M&S down Wisbech way but Tesco's is about as posh as it gets....too many inbreds down here to keep one open.
