Chaumes. Now that's proper smelly.

The genius of cheese is that there isn't a dish in the world that isn't improved by a covering of melted cheese. Even fondue.

FACT!

Agreed. That is a fact. As long as its savoury.

However, I'm really not keen on Manchego. Baked camembert though, that's awesome.

Hmm, not sure there's a curry house round my way that does regatta chicken fricken mingin, no cheese in curry.

Marzipan is lovely.

I'll also agree that Brie is a waste of calories.

You don't need either and if you are honest with yourself, neither taste nice; espeically meat, when you consider how it is produced.

Not eaten meat since 1984 and not even a bacon sandwich would make me return to eating dead animal.

Oh, and ban Broad Beans. Nasty, nasty, nasty.

Much better uses for meat:

Actually beef Jerky is a wate of great beef.

Incidentally, is it not true that there is absolutely no meat used whatsover in the production of Bernard Matthews products?

I'll see your meat cards and raise you a meat hat

Christmas pudding....so bad you actually try to kill it by setting fire to it...

and how come one Christmas pudding that says it will serve 6 people always has leftovers when there is 12 people...I just worked out how Jesus fed the 5000!!

Nowt wrong with having your meat burned.

I liked the burnt, charcoal/carbon taste.

I like the consistency of well done food. Admittingly I probably would have had CP's meat raw... :shock: no wait... I mean cooked medium

I'll see you burn you fcuking heretic.

Oh and Manchego is a king among cheeses.

Manchego is ace, the spanish equivalent of cheddar.

It's got to be a decent one (just like cheddar) or it tastes crap. You probably don't like it because it's a sheeps cheese and therefore quite strong and manly I love the 2 years matured one, yummy!

There are some spanish cheeses that are truly magnificent that sadly I haven't seen over here - Idiazabal, Cabrales and probably one of my favourites:

Tetilla Cheese:
Young, mild and buttery with pleasant hint of sharpness, in shape of woman's breast. Cows milk. (DO)


To be honest I like all cheeses! [/img]

Top level posting.

Salad nicoise is good despite being salad. This is because it contains cripsy bacon and potatoes. The addition of crispy bacon and potatoes sanctifies anything.

Now all of you veg dodgers.

Will you agree that green stuff of all kinds can be made lovely by throwing it cooked into cold mashed spuds and being fryed (preferably in some ex animal fat) until crispy into Bubble and Squeak?

Has anyone tried the Sicilian cheese that's had maggots grown in it for extra proteiny lovelyness?

Manchego is just so damn salty and rather too strong. Or I've always had really rubbish ones. Could be either.

No, he did it the other way round - see link.

So, for the bike, a nice "saddle" of beef

Tuna nicoise is ace :-)

And now onto cheese - I love cheese, cheese is great, I'm still munching my way through the big box of smelly cheese I got for Christmas.

However....there is one exception. Try as I might, I can't bring myself to like goat cheese. It's foul :-(

Tom Parker-Bowles ate some of that on a TV show, possibly a Ramsey one, a while ago. He said it was not something he'd eat again but not totally disgusting.

I've said it once, I'll say it again - SCR trip to St John in Smithfield? Vegetarians not welcome. :P
