Ooh, aye, I concur. It's also a very good nibbles cheese, too.

YOUR PB ETC"¬!¬!"

Aye.

My big cheese recomendations at the moment:

Cornish Yarg - slightly sour hard cheese, made by a bloke called Mr. Gray (Yarg backwards, innit) and wrapped in nettles when it's maturing. Looks mad (nettle prints on the rind) and has a realy nice flavour.

Mahon - From Menorca, named after the capital of said island. Creamy, salty and a hint of goaty-ness about it. Realy nice on a good oatcake (Orkney ones, preferably)

Tetila - From spain somewhere. So called because it looks like a tit. Not too hard, white/light yellow paste and quite lemony. It's like Gouda with attitude. My current favourite cheese.

Gubbeen - Irish, hint of camambert about it. Realy nice softish cheese. Light orange rind, fairly smelly, excelent on a sandwich with a bit of ham, preferably on walnut bread.

You're so gay.



Actually, that reminds me of an ad for some boring cheddar on Irish TV. There's a guy in a cheese shop spouting shite all day like you just did to customers saying things like "it's knows what it wants, but it's not too self-aware" etc.

The he goes home and has cheddar on toast.

Cue: "Golden Vale - none of yer fancy stuff".

All that's in my fridge is some Iceland Red Lester(I can't spell that :|) and a camambert that sara's mum got me from macro for not-very-much-at-all.

I have to know all that shite though, because I sell cheese to peopel who generaly know almost as much as me. And because I love cheese :$
