    Rind can be grated into soups
    Why pay full price when you may get it YS ;)

    It should have been maturing nicely.
    Hope you have a second fridge to put it once open.


    Yum yum

    Edam.

    Freezing Stilton isn't sacrilege, it's just common sense. I hope you were super-sensible and cut it into smaller wedges first? 2kg is one heck of a lot!

    Inspired by you Ken68, I bought a 1lb half wheel at Co-op yesterday, RTC £1.15 from £3. More expensive than your find, but also a quantity I will be able up consume!

    I have stilton in my freezer from 2 years ago when T were selling off half wheels for 20p. I love melted stilton on toast and crumbled into soups. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between fresh and defrosted.
    Still virtually alcohol free since 4/1/15. (10 Xmas/ New Year/Birthday drinks)
    It takes 3500 calories to lose a pound in weight. Target 13 lbs weight loss. 18.5lbs lost 2nd May - 28 September.

    also, the cathedral vintage cheddar (aged approx. 20 months) is now £0.94 with a use by date of march 2016. not sure if this is store specific though. there were loads left over in my local Tesco express (northeast London).
  • Freeze it and use it in all your cabbage soups. My ability to cook is really limited but can use a slow cooker without harming myself. Stilton and Cabbage soup is yummy.
