Well after a year of being 'virtually' dairy free I have crumbled 🙄 and come home from the deli with some wensleydale and cranberry. Being the festive season I just could not resist the little cubes on cocktail sticks they had in the shop and ended up buying half a pound.

Flipping eck it's awesome!

I love cheese.

Now I am tempted to put it in a toastie. Or is that better left to a cheddar? I feel I have a lot of catching up to do

I feel your pain. I would rather give up drink than cheese.....but the 2 do go so well together.

Indeed. Dangerous stuff as it's perfect to finish off that bottle with.

When i’m running the world people who put fruit in cheese will be put on trial for crimes against dairy products, and if found guilty given life sentences, with no chance of parole

Willfully Depriving yourself of cheese is the most insane thing i’ve ever heard!

Are you mad?!!!!

But cheese is so good that adding a little fruit here and there is no bad thing. I would normally eat Christmas cake with Wensleydale so the whole cheese/fruit combination gets a big thumbs up from me.

Nowt wrong with that, this is my local cheese shop. If they make it, then that's all good with me.

Nah. Cheese should be served on its own. Doesn't need additives.

They have it in prisons to keep any veggie/vegan (etc) prisoners happy. Even the catering manager doesn't know what It's made from.

Cheese and fruit is fine. A crisp apple with some good cheddar is wondrous. I had some astonishing quince paste with the cheese course on Cathay recently. Cheese with fruit, fruit with cheese, all good.

Fruit IN cheese, however? Evil.

And as for that Parma Violets or mince pie bullpoo, as above, GTFO.

Mexicana is a guilty pleasure for me... To the point where I've virtually stopped buying anything else. The connoisseurs may stone me now...

Cheshire is a much under-rated cheese. I'm sure it will have its day again.

Right, this toastie thing has got me sweating! Do I want a toastie maker or a panini maker?

Head says toastie maker, heart says panini. But I dunno, I remember those little sealed up triangles when I was in from school. I had paninis on holiday, pretty good I have to say but maybe lacking in the melted cheese department. Maybe I just squash the for longer and turn the heat up?

Quick poll please!

We have a George foreman at work and I do like to occasionally bring in a cheese panini in and throw in it.

The panini maker is just putting a middle class premium on a breville to deliver a far inferior end product

There’s a reason for Brexit. It’s the panini

Original Breville makers were brilliant, newer ones not so. Don't seem to get as hot as the old ones and imo makes an inferior toastie.

Fact.
No issue at all regards cheese [i]and[/i] fruit, however.
A nice sharp Cheddar is my go-to dairy product, but I’m fine with various blue and soft cheese, in fact most cheese, just so long as no deviant has seen fit to despoil it by putting bloody fruit in it!

Last night I had cheesy enchiladas then finished off the evening with a whole packet of ready sliced Emmantal. I didn’t eat until this evening living with the shame of what was around half a kilo of cheese eaten.

A cheese thread and no mention yet of Roquefort? Tut, tut

Despite being French it's still the king of cheeses and divine with a sweet pear. Fruit IN cheese, on the other hand, is plain wrong

Gotta say that I have tried all these fancy 'novelty' cheeses (with fruit, chilli etc) but I have gone full circle and prefer simple cheeses such as Cheddar, Wensleydale, Emmental etc - even over Rustique, Stilton etc etc.

Blimey, went to bed full of cheese and whisky. Woke up to page 2 of this.

To be fair though, when I was in the Farrow and Ball shop yesterday they had a display about how to make the most of the Festive Season with your interior decorations. Strangely there was no mention of exterior decorating with Santa's on the roof or giant inflatable snowmen on the lawn. I honestly thought that was a middle class thing.

You won't live any longer it will just feel that way.

Lunch today is a brie and bacon bite, brie and bacon in puff pastry. A thing of wonder from the Delia frequented farm shop.

Just to ressurect this. Fir lunch I had some french stick cut in half, grilled initially to crisp it, then some dark fruit jam on the bread, thick cuts of brie on top and back under the grill to soften up the cheese.

Gooey taste loveliness.

Oh yes, the old Vache qui rit sandwiched between two cream crackers. Or better still between two ginger nuts.

Dairylea is Council cheese 😆
