Strong flavoursome cheddar I love too and I'd concur to it being made from cows who reside in paradise!<br /><br />@ Dani and Jax - there are so many varieties out there .. it was fun to read up about these cheeses.<br /><br />@ Sara - sorry about the lack of WARNING!! I write these things and it's difficult sometimes - sadly I think we all need to hold back when the cheeses come out ... <br /><br />@ Theresa - me too .. and it's so easy to eat more than I need .. glad you enjoy ed the post ..<br /><br />@ Munir - I don't think I've ever had paneer - though I'd like to see and explore the taste.<br /><br />I don't know enough about cheese-making .. but we drain our curds through cheese-cloths here. Even reading about it - I still can't quite make it out the difference ..<br /><br />@ Patricia - you're in the right part of the world for your farm and outlets .. micro breweries and wine producers .. wonderful to have around.<br /><br />Sorry about not being able to eat cheese .. but appreciation of good workmanship is just as important though .. <br /><br />@ Lisa - quite often so would I .. but at times a good roast is delicious ... but cheeses and salads lots of them please.<br /><br />@ Deniz - delighted you're enjoying the posts - well there's over 900 - so lots of visits required .. perhaps we'll meet up sometime?!<br /><br />Toast and Dripping - now that's delicious ...<br /><br />@ Susanne - it's a great idea for cheeses isn't it .. I loved it when I saw one advertised a few years ago .. <br /><br />Thanks so much to you all - cheers and enjoy the A-Z in the week ahead ..

This magnific...@ Gary - special reply coming anon! This magnificent comment deserves it's own attention ... <br /><br />@ Silvia - so pleased you like cheese - and I'm sure Romania has some excellent cheeses. The trips to Turkey sound interesting .. I'm all for cheese and fruits .. Watermelon is not something we get a lot of here .. but it's around .. and I love feta ... <br /><br />@ Juliet - if you go to the Farmer's market that's great ... and a decent strength cheddar is delicious. Glad you enjoy your visit .. <br /><br />@ Jo - I expect true Caerphilly is only available around Caerphilly ... but who knows it's worth trying new things. Artisan producers are popping up everywhere ... well the cheese cake could be a centre piece for an exhibition dinner .. <br /><br />@ Ella - the wedding cake does look great doesn't it .. not sure how they slice it - probably individually ... but those little Innes buttons look delicious don't they .. and which of 900 will you choose!<br /><br />@ Val - there are lots of cheese producers out there now .. the Dorset Blue Vinney rings a bell - but I used to work near a brilliant cheese shop in London - so I was always in there!! Any blue has its own tangy taste - glad you've remembered back to those times .. <br /><br />@ Tina - sorry! don't go into mourning just yet. I gathered this might be one of the challenges for your asthma ... looks like your diet will be a-changing somewhat - I feel for you ... <br /><br />Fresh apples off the tree, with a good cheddar, or traditional blue, and garlic or herby bread (I tend to make herby bread now-a-days) ... <br /><br />Please cheer up - we need you!!!!<br /><br />@ Alex - the States do have lots of processed cheeses don't they over their foods ... and baby bel and Feta - good for you ..<br /><br />@ Tracy - that's great to see you around more often .. cheese is so cross-culture isn't it ... <br /><br />Thanks so much to you all .. loved all your comments .. cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-16182163721448146172013-04-03T20:26:20.946+01:002013-04-03T20:26:20.946+01:00@ Bob .. no because I know your Scandinavian love ...@ Bob .. no because I know your Scandinavian love - and I started off loving Danish Blue Cheese ..<br /><br />@ Rob - couldn't agree more about the bland mass market cheddar - it's disgusting. And I prefer cheese as is ..<br /><br />@ Teresa - oh right me LOVES cheese too .. oh Stinking Bishop is delicious!<br /><br />@ Roland - it's fun isn't it .. the piles of chesses ..<br /><br />@ Sean - yes we can't fault sharp aged cheddar .. and lucky you getting that signed copy of Cheese for Dummies .. I'll keep a look out for the book ... yes, but people need information - especially youngsters .. <br /><br />@ Betsy - yes I know we do with our comfort knowledge don't we .. enjoy your browsing .. and good selection I hope!<br /><br />@ Lee - the cake makes a good centrepiece doesn't it .. and Stinking Bishop - they must make something similar ... or you'll have to come back for a visit to your grandparents' homeland!<br /><br />@ Manzanita - a good party centrepiece too .. and getting married again would be a big joke!<br /><br />The Cornish Yarg is delicious .. as well as the other flavours - great you're using the young nettles - I did when I was in Ireland years ago with a friend .. <br /><br />@ Deborah - it's each to our own isn't it .. the smoked applewood was popular a few years ago and I'm sure is eaten a-plenty in the pubs! Sorry about the Stinking Bishop - it was a good name .. enjoy your reads ..<br /><br />@ Lynn - a good cheese and fruit meal is so good ...<br /><br />@ Michael - frothy fromage .. I can go with that ..<br /><br />@ Nutschell - certainly not good for lactose intolerant folk .. thankfully I'm not one of those ..<br /><br />@ Sania - some people love cheese, some it doesn't do much for them .. but that knowledge can always come in handy ..<br /><br />@ Julie - ah! we'll have some good times together - then come over and we can try the Cornish Yarg over a glass ... and a seaside holiday! I'll enjoy the Stinking Bishop!<br /><br />@ Gary - you're next .. but I need to pluck up courage ... <br /><br />Cheers to you all ..
