I don't think I'd have both the Danish Blue and the Stilton - I'd just have one (the DB). Could probably say the same with the Brie/Camembert. There's no emmental on the list, no roquefort, no Garstang Blue, no lancashire.... Wallace would have a fit. I had Organic extra mature cheddar for m'dinner. t'was good. All great shouts. Add in the Emmental, though, and there's even less reason to have Edam. Even the Gouda, unless it's a proper crunchy one, becomes somewhat redundant because you'll get the nutty sweetness from the Emmental too. Dutch cheese stays in the bin, for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's more of a cheese recipe than a cheese. Allgauer is ok, but it doesn't hold a candle to anything on the cheese board me and Blandy are drawing up.

Yeah, you've persuaded me. Given a proper choice of some of the world's best cheeses, I wouldn't have the edam, but I still quite like the stuff occasionally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It, and Gouda, are "good cheese". But they sit alone in the middle ground that other countries don't inhabit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Gouda is great for something different, especially when one decides to be terrifically middle class and experiment with a host your own cheese and wine evening. Gouda is nice with a pinot noir I found. ( christ it's hard to talk about liking cheese and wine without sounding like a complete bellend isn't it? ) Boursin is lovely, and Abergavenny cheese is nice as well. Also voting for Brie and Stilton. Can't abide camembert, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to work out how you can grow up loving one team then just throw it all away and support someone else. To be fair he has gone from supporting Arsenal to Crystal Palace and goes to a lot more matches as a result but I still don't think I could do it in matter how depressing Villa are. An old class mate of mine did that when we were around 15. This was during the ´80's so every guy in the class who followed football were liverpool fans except me. And one day he told me that he kind of envied me because I followed a team that wasn't as main stream as liverpool. I was unique. So he decided to follow nottingham forest instead. He liked Pearce and later on Des Walker. The we lost contact in the mid '90's. But in a way I kind of liked that he stepped away from liverpool to a "lesser" club. But I agree that it's weird when people does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think they moved to a more local team once Kenny left and they fell from grace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted February 11, 2019 Administrator Share Posted February 11, 2019 Montagnolo is by some distance my favourite cheese. And it's German. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 12 boys in my primary school class including myself. 5 Villa, 4 baggies, 1 Man Utd, 1 who didn’t like football and 1 who switched from Villa to baggies to please a girl he fancied. If there was a way of forgetting this information to make room for something useful, I’d do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
