Digger's no troll. But even if he was, imho he'd be the best on the whole forum. His posts (especially the infinite sentences - are 'belters'), but they always brighten up my day. Good on you Digger!

I agree that cheddar especially will have an unavoidable change of texture when frozen.
But Cheesemonger or not, to say that it looses 80(EIGHTY!) % of it's taste when frozen is imho untrue.
It's rare that we freeze any of our cheeses, but when we have with cheddar, and subsequently serve to guests, it has always maintained a large percentage of its original flavour. Otherwise I simply wouldn't serve it. And believe me, when a French dinner guest is unhappy with any part of the meal, they generally let you know!

Two points from me:

We also freeze cheese that we bring from Germany or Austria - it's not only better (says my Hungarian wife ...) but also much cheaper. For a Swiss wurst salad with cheese e g, which our Hungarian relatives also enjoy.

Dear digger, I also had problems reading your comments at first, being not a native English speaker, but then I just tried to read them out loud - and voilà !

Keep up the good work, your comments are always welcome!

Hi, digger!
Inspired by your comment we bought today some "English mature" and "Scottish mature" cheddar in the Lidl in Keszthely - 250g each at around 800 Forint.
my wife hasn't tried cheddar yet, but is willing to ...
And she also might use some of it for the soup with cheese balls she often cooks - she says you're supposed to use at least three different varieties of cheese for that.

PS for everybody:
Don't rush there - those were the last packages!

Thank's but there is plenty in Tesco at this price =3,200huf per Klo. as duztee say'a try it with Branston Pickle or grow your own sets Shallots they make good pickling onions I do each year, the one thing you can not get hear is German Sausage Bratwurst I have good memoirs of these in time in the Army at that time they wear sold on road side you got a try with sausage a sqege of mustered and a piece of bread for 1 mark we wear getting 7 mark,s to pound then digger47

Hi Digger,

May I please apologise to you for my quite caustic comments. I had no idea of your background or your sight problems. By the way my spelling is also not up to standard.lol

Thought for the day.
How do you get Digger to smile?

Yes, every country has its specialties!

A bit OT:
As a real Schwab (you know, those people that had to leave Scotland - because they were too penny-pinching ...) we not only buy clothes and chocolate in the local factory outlet and bring it to Hungary but also all kinds of sausages.

Yes, there is a sausage factory near where we live in Germany that sells "Ausreißer" (aberrations) i e the ends of large meatloafs or packages which contain not enough sausages at less than half price - the quality and taste of course is the same ...
