Christmas Cake With Or Without

[Ric.ror]

It’s the burning question up here (so they would lead us to believe) Christmas cake with cheese or without - I say with

[zebo]

I think it's a Yorkshire thing, OH was the first person I saw do it but it is quite nice, Wensleydale is a good cheese to use though I get bolshy and have Lancashire.

[Canary42]

Either - I'm not fussed.

[dunnitall]

OMG. cannot be doing savoury with sweet. Personal choice..it is either or! Oh yuk .....

[kvalidir]

With, sweet and savoury is taste heaven x

[Trevilino]

I was born and bred in South Yorkshire and I've never heard of having cheese with Christmas cake so it's not really a Yorkshire thing. More than likely it's a West Yorkshire thing since Look North aka Look Leeds were promoting the debate.

Used to work with an Australian vet who made us a rich

[jakep]

......fruit Christmas cake. She always added a slice of cheese with each portion!

[Ric.ror]

Well I’m from West Yorkshire and I like a nice crumbly cheese with mine. Either Wensleydale or Lancashire which is more salty

[DTCwordfan]

Both.....as long as there is some seriously good red or dessert wine.....

[Tilly2]

Not for me. I don't like sweet and savoury. One or t'other.

Never heard of Christmas cake with cheese, and my dad's from Yorkshire. I can see how they'd go together if you like both, but I'd stick with just the cheese.

[Old_Geezer]

With cheese !!! ??? !?!?!?
It does not compute.

[-SharonA-]

No, no, no. No cheese. Doesn't sound right.

[BANANASPLITS]

I was brought up on the Lancashire/Yorkshire border and I've never heard of it but my wife says her Yorkshire-born father used to like Christmas cake with cheese, usually Lancashire.

[Eleena]

Without for me too.

I've never tasted Christmas cake with cheese in it, or heard of it before.

[Captain2]

Not 'in' it Tony, served alongside it.
Gorgeous with Lancs or Wensleydale.
And not just with Xmas cake but with any Maderia type cake too.

[rowanwitch]

Had it with friends from Yorkshire many years ago, they said cheese with un-iced cake but with marzipan and icing leave it for later. I always serve a sharp crumbly cheese with mine. A big dollop of mascarpone goes well too

Thanks Cap'n.
Nooo never had cheese with Christmas cake.
