Cheese is good for you...

Please don't consume milk that has gorn orf.

(That was to nonnie)

Doesn't sour milk you ill? Surely they add specific ingredients to safely curdle milk!

Thank you Nonnie, will give that a try.

Have just come back from lunch out and had crumpets, butter, jam and Wensleydale cheese! Tiggypro. Fruit cake and Wensleydale cheese. Seems cheese will go with practically everything.

Wensleydale Grommit!yum.with a slice of fruitcake.

oldie730 has reminded me of one of my favourite treats as a child - a thick slab of new bread and butter with lots of bramble and apple jam and cubes of cheese (Wensleydale or Cheddar) on top. Would love it now but too calorific for me !

To eat in its own love Manchego. For cooking well matured Gouda (one of the few cheeses with Vit K2)

Snowdonia Red Storm. Amazing.

I love all cheese, especially Epoisses , Roquefort , Beaufort, Dolcellate, Stilton & Canadian Cheddar . My French friend says that when buying French cheese always buy it made from " au lait cru ".

Gorgonzola, Dolcelatte, Parmigiano, St Nectaire, Reblochon and many many local French cheeses, especially from the Alps and Massif Central.

Black Crowdie (a soft cream cheese with slightly sour, tangy milky flavour followed by a good kick of spicy pepper. It is hand rolled in pinhead oatmeal and crushed peppercorns). it is local to where I live and is fantastic.

Love all French cheeses. English blue Stilton, Tickler cheddar, (I'd like to know how they get a crunchy texture in cheese?) white Stilton with ginger pieces in, goats cheese, crumbly Lancashire just to start. I love a corner to taste when I'm making sandwiches etc.

clearly I am not eating enough cheese or drinking enough red wine. New diet starts here. Must go to our local artisan cheese shop asap.

oldie I used to make my own crowdie from full cream milk which had curdled, either through age or adding lemon juice. You simply strain it and then add whatever you like, sweet or savoury. So easy.

I like most cheeses but my absolute favourite is Dolcelatte.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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'.

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!

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!
