Cheese with things in

Message Bookmarked

Today I bought a small portion of Wensleydale with cranberries in. It is really lovely - a tangy, sweet taste. The shop where I got it also had various other cheeses with things added to them - the only one I can remember is Stilton with mushrooms and garlic. Has anyone else ever tried these kinds of cheeses?

on the whole i have always been disappointed by these: i suspect cheese is not a good medium for the other stuff to retain its flavour (ie wensleydale w.cranberries ADDED BY YOU = tastes even better)

goat cheese crusted with herbs and peppers
that soft cheese that always comes with dill, I like that.

Chihuahua with jalapeno is a staple around my house.

Sometimes this goes terribly, terribly wrong -- "cheddarjack with marinated mushrooms, kiwi, and ACTUAL MERCURY-HEAD DIMES!" -- and sometimes it goes terribly, terribly wonderful -- brie with butter, that cheese with mustard seeds that I like, chihuahua with anything I've seen chihuahua sold with, and so on.

Cheese sold with meat in: generally not so good. Meat sold with cheese in (prosciutto rolled with basil and mozzarella): much more like it.

you can get cheese with live maggots in it - this is absolutely true!

Maggots? Ewgh! Thats taking the blue cheese concept a tad too far methinks!

Some of those flavoured cheeses aren't all that, but I think its because the actual cheese is very bland (cream cheese or something).

There's a tiny and very good cheesemaker in Aus called Tilba, who make the most AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS cheeses, and they have one thats a sharp cheddar flavoured with herbs and sundried tomato that is to die for.

The town whence it comes from (Tilba Tilba) is gorgeous - a tiny village in the moutains on the way to Sydney somewhere, with painted cottages tucked into hillsides. I think a lot of artists live there. Lovely.

quaint. sounds like The Shire or something.

You can get a grab-bag of cheese-plus in Asda with little bits of a few of these (base cheese = cheddar). The results of the Tom jury were:

shallots - disgusting
wine and garlic - interesting but a bit overpowering
mustard seeds - num num but you wouldn't want too much of it
horseradish - you must be joking

What about Boursin?

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Monday, 8 September 2003 01:02 (twenty years ago) link

oh i do like that stuff, actually!

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 8 September 2003 01:02 (twenty years ago) link

*laughing* So do I. On apple slices, actually.

(I am deeply pleased that the labels for the cheese and sausage logs don't appear to have changed in a quarter-century!)

I seem to remember making a dish once where I split a round of brie horizontally and then layering-on roasted garlic and ....? (Some mixture that had chives in it and was creamy ... maybe a cream cheese mixture?) and then slapping the two halves back together and baking it all in a puff pasty wrapping. Or something like that.

Yeah, I've heard of that - it comes from Italy, doesn't it? I think it's called "Moving Cheese" (what with all the little horrid things squiggling about in it).

Has anyone ever tried that Russian Choco-cheese? It look DISgusTING!

― nathalie (nathalie), Monday, 8 September 2003 10:09 (twenty years ago) link

Cheese with cheese in it is great, but not other things, chives at a push!

Moving cheese??? euw!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 8 September 2003 10:10 (twenty years ago) link

haha eventually in the interests of ilxor food science i guess i shall have to see what happens when you fry moving cheese!!!

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 8 September 2003 10:21 (twenty years ago) link

whilst frying the moving cheese, if you listen closely, amongst the pop and sizzle you can hear the maggots screaming in unison the lyrics to 'Footloose' by Kenny Loggins

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 8 September 2003 14:12 (twenty years ago) link

cheese with onions in surely works, why not the shallots?

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 8 September 2003 14:13 (twenty years ago) link

very fast-moving cheese wld be a good food for fat people...

having to hunt cheese would cut down on the maount eaten and give exercise, too... also like the idea of cheese hunting as urban sport, too

We've started stocking Lancashire with cinnamon and raisins and a marvellous thing it is too. But lightning fast and possessed of a ferocious tail.

Mmm, cheesy lady....gonna gitcha!

Who moved my cheese?

― Paul Eater (eater), Monday, 8 September 2003 17:11 (twenty years ago) link

I used to like that soft creamy cheese covered in pineapple pieces.

― David. (Cozen), Monday, 8 September 2003 17:16 (twenty years ago) link

I hate cheese with stuff in. Unless the stuff is mould.

i think this maggot cheese is from Corsica - which is technically France but not really much like France from what i have heard.

― jed (jed_e_3), Monday, 8 September 2003 18:21 (twenty years ago) link

This is the first thread ever to make me feel nauseous. Congratulations!

Actually I've just remember all the ones where Pete goes on about his BO smelling of minestrone soup.

i don't like my cheese with stuff in. fer sure i like specially flavoured hummus though. roasted red pepper hummus, sundried tomato hummus, olive and blah blah hummus. any kind of hummus is your friend, basically. talking about hummus makes me wish katie g still posted here. what is she up to lately, how is she?

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Monday, 8 September 2003 22:47 (twenty years ago) link

She ate some Corsican cheese and became a 'moving katie'.

Gouda cheese with cumin seeds = oh baby.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 September 2003 23:26 (twenty years ago) link

I was near-deafened just now by the sound of many dead cheesemaking monks rolling over their graves in response to the pun that came to mind.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 8 September 2003 23:29 (twenty years ago) link

twelve years pass...

how come there's no such thing as a habanero blue cheese
