Just that really. DS got them for me instead of Gouda! Talk about rubbery !

Agree with you; Edam cheese is the most tasteless and unpleasant cheese on the market imo. Far prefer a nice bit of stilton blue or extra mature cheddar. I like a cheese that bites me back!

Pea soup Geminil7892?

It's nice toasted. Let the top go brown.

A cheese I dislike is mild cheddar. Mild. Pah.

Defy me all you like but I really enjoy my slice of Edam on seeded oatcakes. Yummy. Think I'll just go and have some right now.
Of course they're not just Edam slices, they're M&S Edam slices!

Maybe Use your tinned peas up when making soup? Add a selection of other vegetables, a stock cube and seasoning, and blitz the lot in a blender or Soupmaker machine when cooked.

On top of cauliflower and bake in the oven ? I like Edam . Maybe in a sandwich topped with some salami ?

I like cheddar for sandwiches, but for cooking I prefer either white Cheshire or Lancashire, but they`re both getting very hard to get hold of these days

That makes all the difference Jane10!

I've used up a tin of peas left in a flat I rent out by adding it to a ham soup. It made a change to dried peas.

In my house no food goes to waste, ever.

Feed it to the birds - they seem to like any kind of cheese!

Thank you Julia and Esspee . I’ll give it a try.

Mmm, I'll have it!

Toast, sandwich, sauce?

I quite like Edam with Branston pickle. Not that I have bought it for several years.

You can make a good soup using tinned pes. Gently fry a chopped onion, do not brown. Add a shredded lettuce ( use up that tired one in the fridge) and chicken stock (using a stock pot or cube).Cook for a few minutes, add some mint and a tin of peas,liquidise and season to taste.
