Wensleydale with cranberries 😍. You can consign those plastic cheese slices to room 101. Any cheese with fruit I would consign it to Rm 101.soz! A mature cheddar is the best. Although I do love something blue and pongy and anyone who puts a really decent mozerrella on a cheeseboard gets my vote You've reminded me of something else I love but have very rarely - burrata. If you like creamy cheeses, this is the queen of cream cheeses. Basically because the centre is mostly cream.

Yes fruit cake with Wensleydale and cheeses of that type works a treat. Not sure how or why, but it just works Even nicer with Christmas cake. This sounds so outrageous I want to give it a go in 6 months time! Do you literally do slice of cake with a slide of Wensleydale on top? Or is it a bite of each?

If I'm feeling lazy a bit of Five Counties* with some cherry tomatoes and black pepper between bread makes a nice lunch
*This has given me an idea for a new thread

A strong cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, goats cheese, camembert, burrata and halloumi all get my vote. I like cottage cheese as well, and seem to be pretty much the only person on this thread who likes edam.
Can't stand blue cheese or brie though, never liked them!

Especially parmesan and it's close friend grana padano, oooh and riccotta and feta, the latter roasted with garlic. Why am I hungry now??

I've cooked feta one in a tomato and chickpea dish felt it was far too salty. I suppose the source of feta can affect it but it's scared me from trying any other again.

The very worst I've encountered is a weirdly sweet brown fudgy Norwegian cheese my Norwegian flatmate used to bring back. Ah, it's called Brunost. " It’s fair to say brunost hasn’t a huge fanbase outside Norway and it can be a challenge to non-Norwegians." And that's what 'the Daily Scandinavian' says about it. Even googling some pictures made me retch.
I've just googled it as I've never heard of it and I rather fancy it. Am I weird?

The very worst I've encountered is a weirdly sweet brown fudgy Norwegian cheese my Norwegian flatmate used to bring back. I was going to make this point myself - it is truly revolting. I tried it 30 or so years ago and then managed to avoid it until there were two sorts (possibly goat and cow's milk) available at the breakfast buffet in our hotel in Bergen last year - could it really be that bad? Oh yes. It was in fact worse. Thinking of it now makes me feel slightly unwell

In Yorkshire you put a slice of cheese on the cake. If the cake is a tad dry not to worry, put some butter on it. Even if it’s not dry you can butter it. In for a Penny, in for a pound etc. You can do this with any cheese, not just Wensleydale. Lancashire, Cheshire and Cheddar are good too. You don’t have to wait for Xmas. Any rich fruit cake works, and I prefer without the icing.

I should have specified South Yorkshire. We put cheese in buttered teacakes too, by which I mean the fruited bread rolls that you normally toast. And hot cross buns. Anything with fruit. I can imagine it works with mince pies but I don’t recall trying it.
The Herriot books were set in the Yorkshire Dales weren’t they?

Cheese and bun is a favourite of Jamaicans, especially at Easter. Mater served cheese on brioche buns one Christmas Eve. I seem to remember we all thought she'd taken leave of her senses!

I rather fancy it. Am I weird? Possibly, but I'm now curious to see if I still think it's as foul as I remember. I love boiled condensed milk/Dulce de Lece but this....no. Apparently they now do it as an ice cream flavour too.

Stinking Bishop is the current favourite and anything with fruit added stays uneaten. That's why I don't buy cheese board from the supermarket

I do love a bit of stilton, but find the varicose veins a bit too chewy.

Cheese in Buttered Teacakes is one of the finest things in life food wise. I thought everyone had that not just us in South Yorkshire. Charcoal Cheese is one of the greatest cheeses around if you can find it. Don’t be put off by the fact it looks like Black Pudding.

Another vote for M&S Cornish Cove - has to be the extra matured in the purple packet. Favourite sandwich is this and thinly sliced Muscat grapes. Mmmmmmmm.
Talking of thinly sliced, why does thinly sliced cheddar taste better than chunks?
And it took me years to work out why cheese sandwiches taken to work for lunch tasted better than those eaten at home.....cheese has to be eaten at room temperature. Ask the French!
And when I'm Queen, that vile, stinky, nasty slush* that tastes like alligator testicles** will only ever be packaged in black and orange with a Hazchem sign on it as it's not fit for human consumption. Also, whosoever first classed it as 'cheese' will be forced to sit in the front row every night for the entire run of my newly commandeered show, Alfie and Mikey do Frozen, until they let it go.
*goats' cheese
** I just know, ok?

Must say I admire the Welsh Cheese marketing team, getting their brand name on every road sign. Noticed one today, "Please Drive Caerphilly." Yay! Cheesy Monkey Puns! Mind you, you're going to grate on certain members...

Cheshire cheese, tangy and crumbly fab for my taste. In parts of Cheshire the put a sliver of cheese under the crust of a hot apple pie. They have a saying "Apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze"!
But for simplicity, crusty bread, ANY cheese and grapes.

I don't eat anything at fridge temperature. No point as all the flavour is locked in. Nigella refers to it as heating up metal, as it gets warmer it expands and so the flavours start to unlock and develop
