Cheese board

[Bluestone]

I need 5 cheeses for a cheese board. What should I choose? In a bit of a hurry - so thanks in advance :-)

[MarkRae]

Camembert
Stilton
Cheddar
Petit Pont l'Eveque
Applewood

[grasscarp]

I would include Jarlsberg. Camembert. Wensleydale with cranberries.

[knowabit]

I agree with Mark... although i would only eat the Cheddar and Applewood. I like Boursin.... lovely on a bit of crusty bread!

[MarkRae]

I tried to include something for everyone. Not sure how well Boursin would sit on a cheeseboard, though...

[vodkancoke]

Camambert
Cambazola
Goat's cheese
Applewood
Pecorino

[snags]

Cheese string.
Laughing Cow triangle.
Tesco Value sliced square.
Dairylea Dunker.
Some of that nasty pseudo cheese with Cranberry bits.

Snags - you forgot this - http://www.google.co....i|1;d|ZAZBAMndk4J-WM:

dont forget a blob of primula snags ;)

[sfby]

Sounds good Mark - I'll be round after dinner with a bottle of Warre's LBV...

[snags]

Primula? I'm not a pleb.

smelly apath , bishops finger , brie , some lancashire and garstang blue

[mccfluff]

bishops finger is a beer, do you mean stinking bishop?

[cathfromsaron]

mmm ... stilton
soft goats
red leicester/something colourful
a couple with cranberry and/or apricots in!

more important: biscuits for cheese!

[MarkRae]

Forget biscuits and go for sliced warm fresh baguette with some Président butter...

[Bluestone]

Thanks very much.
Another quickie: wine or cider?
TIA

[boxtops]

stilton with apricots, please

[cathfromsaron]

fruit ciders are lovely!

and yes to soft bread and good butter!

celery, grapes and sliced apple can add colour too!

[MarkRae]

Wine, definitely! Some fruity red Burgundy or Beaujolais, or some Rosé d'Anjou for those who don't like red. White doesn't really go with cheese...

[grasscarp]

and a few disgestive biscuits which are great with some cheeses
