What's on your Cheeseboard, EDF? #1

[bozzer]

Ok, let's kick off with a simple combination:


1. French goat. Standard.

2. A classic English Stilton.

3. Dolcelatte. We were planning to have Stilton AND Roquefort (holla) but we couldn't find any in our local Costcutters.


Important: those other things on the plate are KRISPROLLS. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]



Ship the cheddah (or not......?)

There's a really nice English Blue cheese called Blackstick's Blue which you should try and get your hands on. In fact, any Shropshire Blue is very tasty.

can't wait for the second installment!

someone should post some ideas for noobs in this department. i have absolutely NO idea about wine OR cheese much less combinations of the two, but it seems like a fun and tasty hobby.

I love Shropshire blue. Will try and get some Blackstick's if I can. Where did you buy it?

Solid choices. Instead of Cheddar, I would opt for a Gouda or Jarlsberg for a near-perfect cheese board. I'm getting hungry writing this [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

[bozzer]

I like the Gouda or Jarlsberg ideas.

Let's not dismiss the solid cheddar though: can anyone recommend a nice reasonably mature cheddar that's widely (supermarket?) available?

If you're after a nice all round blue I really recommend Saint Agur.

Are you in the UK? If so, just go to a decent supermarket. I think I got it from Sainsbury's but I'm not sure.

In fact, here's a link detailing stockists.

Edit: Bozzer,

Any Cheddars from the Western Isles of Scotland, or the Mull of Kintyre tend to be very good. Supermarkets often have cheeses from around here, and if not a cheese shop will see you right. Cheddar from the Isle of Mull is particularly good.

bozzer I like Boar's Head sharp cheddar a lot, hopefully thats not too much of a disgrace to this thread
