Cheese...

The French are not happy - what's new I hear you say...

French cheesed off as British cheddar is judged superior to comté or camembert

Guess the English had to get one last victory over the French before they set sail out of the EU ... :pac:

They're kind of different though.
Like saying beer is better than wine?

Ah but that depends whether it's good beer or wine and who's drinking it!

That’s not gouda news.

I like Alison Brie.

What about yer man who used Cheddar in a souflé and lost a Michelin Star over it, he was going to sue the tyre company over it

Cheese is the greatest food known to humanity. One of the high points of human achievement.

Cheeses, that's embarrassing for a country of which Charles De Gaulle famously said "how can anyone govern a nation that has two hundred and forty-six different kinds of cheese?".

Not so sure because even Dunnes Stores has gotten awards.

And yes there are two from Israel. But they're not chesses of Nazareth

And no mention of casu marzu

Btw some of the selected Dunnes cheeses are really really good. Must check to see which of those were listed...

Tesco have some great cheeses too especially at Xmas time...there is a brie with oak & mushroom yum yum

My total favourite I buy at Christmas is Wensleydale with cranberries.. Would make it less special if I bought it more often... Just.... delicious.. LIDL have it, so do Tesco and supervalu. The rich creaminess of Wensleydale with the sharpness of cranberries... longing!

But it is very special indeed.

The big news should have been

Mr Farrand said new cheeses were being produced in the most unlikely countries.
“This year, a Japanese cheese was entered for the first time and came 10th.
From a country where dairy products are not part of the traditional diet, this is quite an achievement and we were happy to see it.”

An indicator of how far eastern diets have been corrupted by the west.

Horses for courses. I don't like the texture of camembert, but I don't find the taste too offensive.. But I loves my oak smoked cheddar. Somebody mentioned Dunnes stores cheese selection, good call. SuperValu ain't too bad either.

Lol. Cheese the great corruptor! I know someone that believed garlic was responsible for the Fall of the Roman Empire or at least something like that :pac:

Slavoj Žižek the Slovenian philosopher says some French cheeses were originally 'mistakes', something gone wrong but then sold as some amazing creation. Like Champagne, wine that unintentionally developed bubbles. He was (of course) making an analogy to something I don't recall, or more likely didn't understand

Wine is better than beer? That's simply not true. Or vice versa for that matter. Wine is stronger. It doesn't equate to being better. I'm a drinker, I'd much prefer a bottle of speckled hen to a bottle of Gallo family shyte. Likewise id enjoy a bottle of '67 Chablis than I would driving a slab of Heineken into my ample sized gut.

NO.... you must be piss@d.

Hotblack Desiato · 26-10-2019 04:57PM

A few of the "Irish" cheeses in the awards are PDO from Italy and France. That's just mad.

Obvious Desperate Breakfasts · 26-10-2019 05:05PM

Good cheddar is yummy though.

Muahahaha · 26-10-2019 05:15PM

Love Tescos smoked applewood cheddar, its a bargain too at only 1.37 a pack

I only eat cheese with a strong taste of vomit from the finest cheesemongers. You can tell it is a fancy cheese if it tastes strongly of vomit.

Anybody like ; Under the Fore-skin Cheese ?
