best type of cheese

Beardie you lot need quit fooling yourselves it is because they are ****. That word starts with s and ends with t. .........EISH!!

 

My favourite cheese at the moment is laguiole. It was popular with my 4year old grandson when they came to visit in the summer ( he turned down the cheaper offferings!) so I had to bring some for him to eat over Christmas.
I also brought raclette for a raclette supper, some reblochon for making tartiflette for another supper; (not a low carb recipe!) and some Roquefort for those that like it (I don't)
Here's my local cheesemonger http://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2012/06/17/1379949-jeanot-le-fromager-qui-file.html He is a man who clearly enjoys his work (but I have to say his size reminds me not to eat too much)

 

Hmm,
yes, that's the effect I see with too much cheese!

 

My favorite cheeses are Brie or any type of Blue cheese but I have to eat them sparingly as cheese is very high in calories and if I eat it every night after diner I will invariably but on weight so I just eat it occasionally.

Cheese generally wont harm your bg levels but can definitely harm your waistline.

 

You missed a bargin ...I do that then wish I had bought when seen ....

 

I adore cheese ...I have got used to a nice Chedder 30% less fat ....I like it ...
I can be a cheese adict any day .....but have reduced the amount I eat ....
I have a Camembert to melt in the oven will try it and chop up some veggies to dip in.....yum

 

I have tried these, tbh I don't like fruit in cheese's. I am going to have some ( a little bit ) of Edam with my lunch

 

I was trying to be good Kat, I do eat far too much cheese, but love it so

 

It is grated for you @Robinredbreast

Seriously I love cheese ....sometimes with a picked onion ...yum x

So do all the garden birds ....we are keeping lots of grated in a box in the fridge ...they are addicts as well

i like double gloucester,sometimes with a gherkin

 

I normally go for the low fat cheddar as well.

 

Nipped in Asda for a bottle of wine and a loaf for Husband came out with nearly £40 worth of stuff 3house brick sized blocks of strong cheddar a couple of packs of assorted cheeses obviously left over from Christmas ,they were all greatly reduced Then we went to the wine department the bargains were amazing!!

Sounds like you cant wait to get home and sample the goods, I am full of unashamed envy.

 

Cheese ? Can't get it out of my thoughts mmm and pickles and some ham on a cocktail stick sooo yummy. Can't read this thread no more, making me hungry lol.

 

Enjoy x

 

I never knew laguiole was a cheese. I have some overpriced cheese knives by that name so that must be why they are called that. tartiflette was one of my favourite foods, we had it about once a month. Never again though unfortunately.

 

Laguiole knives are made in the same area (Aubrac) or at least they should be .There are many made in China look alikes.

We bought them in Nontron from a shop the seemed sell little else as I remember. And now that I have thought about We bought one of there corkscrews in Paris for even sillier money.

 

I find that the Fromage des Vosges from Lidl is a nice cheese if you are prepared to let it mature to past the eat by date. It's OK before that but it really develops.

It's a camenbert style cheese and the older and crustier and runnier in the middle, the better in my opinion. The nutitional info is given here: http://www.fatsecret.com/Diary.aspx?pa=fjrd&rid=2063625
