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

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 sad

Can't bear blue or smelly cheeses

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

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

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!

Can't

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

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.

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

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

Canadian cheddar and the peppery Boursin, yum

Thought this was an interesting story in the Telegraph.

Love cheese, especially Roquefort. grin. We eat it French style without bread or biscuits.
