It is just vous

Red leicester was made for cheese on toast, but I understand what you're saying as it has a mild yet delicious flavour. If there's one thing to avoid it's that really cheap big block of cheese that you get from the supermarkets as they literally taste of nothing and i can't see why on earth anyone would buy it when for an extra quid you can get some really mature cheddar like cathedral.

Iceland do a £1 block of cheese that even the birds in my garden won't eat

I am sorry Msr Jacques but yet again you shoot yourself dans le pied.
Cathedral cheddar!
Eugh.
Mass produced from a factory.
Molly,
Try and by a farmhouse Red Leicester,you will notice the improvement straight away.

'Cheese string' cheese?

'sat then?

[Invictas]

Naz,
If I remember correctly it's a cheese for kids.It look like a giant finger and when you eat it it comes apart like strings.
Right molly?
It tastes like very old and bad dairylea.

Invictus I'm merely offering my personal experience to try and help a fellow human being so hardly shooting myself in the foot and I stick by what i said cathedral is a great cheese.
Sandywroe That's the one I meant and they have similar tasteless cheese in Tesco and Asda, the funny thing is it looks and smells like cheese but almost as if they have a procedure to suck out every last bit of taste from it.

Msr Jacques,
I am very lucky that my 4th floor flat is housed above one of the best cheese shops in the UK(in London).
I also get on very well with the owner,and so over the years have had a sort of free education in cheeses of the world(inc tasting).
If Cathedral "cheddar" is your bag OK,but you are still on a very low rung when it comes to cheese appreciation.

[mollykins]

I don't have C.C. very often unless it's mixed with a milder and healthier (dad only has the proper full fat stuff) cheese on a pizza.

And yes it's R.L. from tescos and yes cheese strings are how you describe and aren't even proper cheese, and they look plasticy.

I'm guessing FJ will be a cheese-maestro when they return from the Paris trip?

[boxtops]

Hoxton, invictas?

[mrs_overall]

Invictas - would you like to be my new best friend? The fact I'm a cheese addict has nothing to do with this suggestion.......honest

[FrereJaques]

Redhelen I call myself a fan of all cheeses and as my palate experiences more cheeses and grows more complex maybe this could change in the future but for now my cheese knowledge is in it's infancy and cathedral is great on a brown bap with lettuce chicken slices hellmans mayo and sweet chilli sauce, try it!
What is the cheeseshop called and do they have a website invictus?

[NazNomad]

pmsl, I now have this image of FrereJaques sitting at home with a huge piece of cheese, shouting, "feck, arse, drink", at everyone ...

[FrereJaques]

Redhelen I prefer to "get my hands dirty" by seeing and smelling my cheeses before buying them, in the future once I already know the names and taste of them I'll use mailorder.

Êtes-vous un troll ringard, FrereJaques?
