Cheese help

PasturesNew

I'm the same about any soft cheeses and even yogurt. I've never had yogurt, but now I'm looking at lots of TV cookery most recipes I like seem to use yogurt and creme fraiche ,.... so I am working my way up to trying them.

That creme fraiche seems to be what's in cheesecake.

I just hate the thought of the words "live" and when they describe some cheeses saying that maggots are good. ewww.

great idea to head to the cheese stall at the market. The cheese counter at the supermarket might also be able to help.

Cheese stall at the market and cheese counters in supermarkets when it's not too busy are good ways of trying diff varieties. If you tell them that you like cheddar then they should be able to recommend other types easily enough, or just slowly progress through different hard cheeses.

Yoghurt isn't my favourite thing to eat on its own, though my kids all love it, but in cooking you don't really notice it, it just adds to the overall taste, bit like lemon juice in cooking, it's there, but you can't tell easily!

I also like plainish cheese and don't like the softer smelly ones. I tend to stick with cheddar, red leicester, double gloucester & cheshire but I do like gouda, leerdammer, edam and other cheeses like that. I do also like smoked cheese every now and then. My favourite is five counties cheese from Tesco.

My OH & DS like the smelly, mouldy cheeses and I can't even stand the smell let alone eat it! I have to put it in a lock& lock because their cheese stinks so much.

Im the same, cheese shouldnt be slimy or plasticy

I tend to love crumbly cheese such as carphilly & wensleydale. Lots of places do try before you buy. So take uo the offer.
Chedder would be one of my least favorites!

Bree is the most vile creation - reminds me of a bad night on the tiles when your not near a loo!

Blue cheese - Why - I can grow my own mould, I dont need to purchase it!

I bought a lovely piece of cheese to try yesterday. Bowland - Lancashire with apple, raisins and cinnamon in - absolutely gorgeous. Bet it would be delicious toasted on granary bread :drool:.

applewood smoked cheddar is lovely, or cheddar with onions and chives.

You could try the deli counters at the supermarkets and just as for a couple of ounces of a few you think you might like to try.
