Cheese is good for you...

Canadian cheddar and the peppery Boursin, yum

Well that suits me just fine. Bring out the mature punchy cheddar and a nice stilton.

Excellent news. I'm an equal opportunities cheese eater -they're all lovely!

Same here, bring any of them on and although I didn't know it was the French way I was always the one at the end of the meal with a plate of cheese, grapes ,figs and celery. No biscuits for me thank you.
How sad I feel now remembering that as I am a one course oldie now.

Can'g make a cheese sandwich with having a lump off the corner, just to taste!

Can't

We often have a bit of cheese and some crackers in the evening - Stilton or, currently Roquefort, and mature cheddar, Cornish Yarg, farmhouse Lancashire..... Can't beat it!

Printmiss With me it's rarely "just one lump off the corner" It's the tangy taste of cheese that I crave.

I have heard that Britain now has more artisan cheese makers than France

The mention of Roquefort reminds me of the time when the kids were little and we stayed in a country house in France belonging to some friends. They said to eat whatever was left in the fridge. There was a huge lump of Roquefort which DD asked for. A piece was put on her plate but just before she ate it I noticed it moving. It was heaving with maggots which somehow hadn't been noticed earlier !!

I adore cheese, but am very boring about it: cheddar, wensleydale, red leicester.

My absolute favourite is an Italian soft cheese, Crema Bel Paese, that I can no longer find in the shops

Can't bear blue or smelly cheeses

Has anyone tried Stinking Bishop? You have to be brave just to open the fridge I like Stilton best

My favourite is St. Endellion Brie. I get it in my local farm shop but haven't seen it anywhere else - a packet of Carr's Melts and I am in heaven. Rich, creamy and tasty and MADE IN ENGLAND! Well, I think Cornwall is in England even if some Cornish people don't.
My first post would have to be about food wouldn;t it!

Does anyone know where I can get the DELICIOUS Pecorino that's vegetarian - the one using thistles instead of rennet?
I has some from Sardinia once and have been looking out for it ever since!

Way back when the supermarkets first started selling vegetarian cheese, I asked the girl behind the cheese counter what made the cheese vegetarian, her reply 'It's made with milk from vegetarian cows'.

I love all cheeses, tangy, stinky, creamy, they're all wonderful.....apart from Gjetost, it's Norwegian, looks like fudge and I loathe it! If I want fudge, I'll eat fudge, not cheese masquerading as something it's not!

If I could only eat one kind of food for the rest of my days, it would have to be cheese. I love Stilton, Danish Blue, extra mature Cheddar, Red Leicester and Wensleydale. I particularly enjoy Wensleydale with cranberries. I also enjoy Gorgonzola, but am told I'm only allowed to eat it when 'home alone', as DD claims that just looking at it makes her feel sick.

My husband loves stinking bishops I buy a small amount just for him that he can eat in one serving so it not lingering in the fridge, I cannot stand it. I've just tried a new yarg but instead of nettles wrapped round it had wild garlic leaves wow really nice, also tried that Norwegian cheese the one that looks like caramel (hairy bikers did a piece on it) liked it but couldn't eat a lot of it, let's face it I love cheese with the exception of DIL and son who I think could live on it everyday all day!!
As for living longer really I don't think so Mil does not eat that much cheese and she's 84 her sisters 90 and what about cholesterol.

All cheese is good cheese . But bad for my high cholesterol, sadly.

That sounds like guesswork! How long since they told us cheese was junk food?

No way am I eating mouldy cheese. Will stick to Cathedral City Lighter Matured. Love it, and the benefits are good old protein and calcium.

1.2% extra lifespan from eating double the cheese? That sounds to me more like a statistical artefact than a panacea.

I don't eat cheese because I can't stop once I get started. I had a serious cheese habit about eight years ago, but I cut it out when started developing a xanthelasma.

Cheese gives me migraine - and I LOVE it! - so frustrating.

So many absolutely gorgeous cheeses, can't really pick a favourite, used to get a soft cheese, which I don't usually like, called Crowdie, but haven't been able to find it for a long time. Was available in Scotland and when on holiday used to buy tubs for picnic lunches and I used to have it with raspberry jam, yes, really! This was suggested by the owner of the cottage we rented.

I like most cheeses but my absolute favourite is Dolcelatte.
