Tasty Cheese

Cheddar or Stilton melted on top of a large flat mushroom on toast makes a change.

Pop into Waitrose or Deli that has a serious Cheese counter, they should give you a little sample.
So many fabulous Cheese's available, you can select something new.

You right a "Ploughmans" is fab (but do we have to call it a Plough-person's now?)

Tintern Cheese is nice too

Yes, "ploughperson's" in some pubs it would seem.

Apparently ploughman's comes from the time the wives wrapped their farmer husbands' cheese lunches up in red and white cloths.

My favourite is Gruyère or a West Country crunchy cheddar. I fancy a ploughman’s now.

Me too.
It's one of my favourite things to eat out.
No fancy stuff, just all the basics, done nicely.

I love any strong blue cheeses ,a Gorgonzola would be my first choice.I did used to buy SAMSOE locally but the deli closed and I haven't been able to get it anywhere else for decades .It was my daughters favourite cheese and it took a long time before we found anything se liked nearly as much

Gilly3 I think that was in just one pub where a lot of their local farmers were /are women .

Paddyann, as long as Manchego cheese doesn't get changed to Personchego cheese!

Cheese is one of my downfalls, there are so many I love, Brie, Cambozola, Comte, Manchego, Jarlsberg closer to home Stilton, Double Gloucester and strong Cheddar. Just typing this list makes me want a morsel right now!

I love a crumbly Lancashire cheese too.

Lincolnshire Poacher is lovely, we buy it from our farmers market. They also have some lovely goat’s cheese, and Cornish Yang.

I don’t like pickles, so I wouldn’t choose a ploughman’s lunch. I do love cheese though. Grilled halloumi is lovely, I like feta, Boursin, Gorgonzola, Brie, and any British cheeses (apart from those with things in them - eg cheese with apricots, yuck)

Stir fried halloumi is lovely.
I love the texture.

Halloumi cooks really well on the barbecue too.

Coverdale or Wensleydale for me.

Happened on a cheese called Vacherin. Gave it to a friend for Christmas. She raves about it and I haven't been able to find it since.

Mont D'Or is a Vacherin, they sell it in Waitrose but I only see it leading up to Christmas. I love it and always take one to my SIL's when we go for Christmas.

Cheese and onion sandwich - thick, crusty bread, butter, Wensleydale cheese and freshly cut slices of onion - with a pint of Black Sheep or Old Peculiar. Bliss!

Apparently there are over 750 different named cheeses produced in the UK alone ( I’ve just googled it ), so plenty to go at. I love most cheese apart from strong blue ones and any with sweet fruit. Currently in the fridge, but not for much longer, Jarlsberg, creamy Swaledale and sage Derby. I might just have to nip downstairs now for a bit of fridge raiding…..

Halloumi cooks really well on the barbecue too.

I used to have it grilled and cut into soldiers for dipping in boiled eggs till I checked the calorie count.

Ignorance is bliss.
I love the fried halloumi in batter from the chippy.
Its lucky I suppose that i rarely go to the chippy!

Cambazola. Soft texture blue cheese. My favourite. Or a nice Stilton. With grapes and cornichons.

Strong Cheddar, Manchego, Coverdale, Cornish Yarg & Tasty Lancashire for me.

I love halloumi - half a pack sliced and fried (just a film of oil) with some cut up apple and peppers etc. often constitutes my lunch.

I wish I could find saganaki (Greek cheese that also comes fried) here, but I’ve never seen any. Maybe I haven’t looked hard enough. But saganaki with lemon juice and salad was my go-to lunch at a favourite beach taverna in Greece.

Battered halloumi sounds just wonderful, MissAdventure. I wish our chip shop offered it (though for the sake of my ever broadening backside, perhaps it’s a blessing it doesn’t).
