Stick some slices of onion with it, for a cheese and onion sandwich, and it is OK :D

My wife wonders why I bother with the cheese, with the amount of onion I put in. She reckons I wouldn't be able to taste the cheese. :lol:

If it's tasty cheese then it's probably for the best.

I do miss some of the spectacular cheeses to be had from Europe though. Many can be had here but cost big cojones!! I saw a chunk of Papillion Roquefort in a deli in Toombul for $132 yesterday! Couldn't have been bigger than 2 kg, probably less.
Ah, a good cheese thread, I used to start those!

My Dad had his gall bladder removed and he carried on eating cheese for the next 20 years :confused: He was as big a cheese fan as me. Maybe you just have to be careful what cheese you eat, or how much of it?

When we were in France last time we bought a huge block of cheese probably 4 Kg, I can't even remember the type, but it was gorgeous and expensive. We took it back to the UK and it lasted us for months.

It's worth it, just a shame you can't bring it in to Oz,

My ex wifes parents live in France and they brought half a truckle of Roquefort over. I got into it and 3 days later it was gone, 1.5kg of cheese!

Great effort! I love Roquefort - even the cheap(er) stuff from Carrefour is lovely. I do solemnly miss good cheese over here. Sharp Chedder and a nice tangy Blue would be lovely.

I have noticed that Danish Blue seems to be very popular in the shops, but it leaves me wondering who actually eats it - none of the people at work can stand it when I have some with some crackers, as it makes quite the smell. Maybe it's just all the Poms missing some decent blue that buy it up.

We have a deli with a proper Cheese Room in just up the road. they have some great imported cheeses there.

There are a few good delis here too but I nearly fall over at the price of cheese from Europe!! Look at it as a treat and I do enjoy a lot of the native cheeses. Brie seems to be the Aussie favourite but I have converted some mates to a good blue!

Aussies eat brie straight out of the fridge! The heathens.

They think I am weird when I get mine out ages before I eat it.

I know. I take it out up to an hour before unless it is really hot. They thought it strange I produced black grapes too with some cheeses. They are educated now though!
