Comment on Cheese No. 6 – Roquefort by Carl Morris

St Agur is awesome enough. So not sure if I can handle a volume boost. I might try this though. He added tentatively.

If Asda run out of cheeses there’s always Madame Fromage in Castle Arcade, Cardiff.

Welcome back! I’m eating not only these cheeses, but your RSS news feed too. Plug it into your Facebook for extra readership boost.

Rubbish!

No photo, despite the request made above and no post since February – pah.

I am removing this site from my favourites. It wasn’t actually in my favourites to start with but that’s not the point.

Why oh why have you given up on this amazing blog?

You’ve just proved your own inability to keep up with a resolution for more than a few weeks!

I did indeed eat it. It was unpleasant. Very unpleasant. The intital taste was minimal but the aftertaste was a kind of musty smokiness which was too unpleasant to describe. The texture wasn’t very nice either, it was a bit like a cross between rancid, processed chicken and a cheesestring. You got the impression that no amount of grilling, frying or roasting would either a) melt it in anyway or b) improve the flavour. I would imagine such actions would merely scorch the cheese and only worsen the flavour. If Havarti was much worse than this, as you claim, then I really do feel for you.

Whoops, I’ve not uploaded the picture yet – will do soon.
Iain ate it and, I believe, found it disgusting. And also became reasonably convinced that it was actually meat, not cheese. Carl Morris tried it and ate an unsurpisingly large amount of it. Leah didn’t eat it ’cause she thought it was meat, which would go against her vegetarianism.

Questions:

1a) did you make Leah and Iain eat it?
1b) if so did they like it?

2) where is the picture? I’d like to see for myself if it does indeed look like a Melton Mowbray Pie.

Comment on Cheese #4 – Perl Wen by Tomos

I can highly recommend the Perl Las as well, which is a blue cheese. I got some for Christmas and it is easily on a par with Stilton.

My, what a fine web log of cheese you have going on here. I have a fantastic stilton in the fridge right now – it lives in it’s own ceramic pot and I had to break a wax seal on it to get inside. tangy, fruity and although very strong, not too repugnant. I think you’ll like it, you must come over one time and try it.
catch you soon!

Brian Eno makes exactly the same point about abandoned January diaries in his published diary. Therefore you and he are of onE Brain. See what I did there.
