Today I was in the cheese shop. They had the usual run of cheeses from all over the world including those slightly gimmicky ones from the UK, Wensleydale with Cranberries, Wensleydale with pineapple, Stilton with pear. And there, amid them, in public view, "Thai Curry Cheddar"!

It was a weak green. A colour I thought used only by puppies with worms and the BMW car company. Pre-shat cheese. Is this what people put on their toast these days?

Half of me shakes head in disgust at the chavy hoodlums with their crap taste in cheese and the other half is weeping, cos I want some.

Ps . White stilton with cranberry was always nice this time of year.

There was an argument for getting some of that with this week's experimental cheese dollars but we went with an untried Camembert instead. Will give it a shot next week.

If its available out your way can't see it being more than ten years before we should be able to buy here. Happy days.

I dunno about that. The St. Lawrence Market has had all manner of cheese for as long as I've been here. I bought large quantities of Cheddar, Stilton and Raclet for neighbours from the stand we were at this morning in the early 1980s and I've been going there ever since. That range of cheeses hasn't become available across the city, nevermind across the country, in the interim, so I don't see it ever happening. Why is a mystery to me, there's no shortage of immigrants across the province and I know they'll pay for eggs of the same quality they had at home so I can't see why they wouldn't pay for cheese.

Maybe going down the Auld yin approach and adapting to cheese whiz, is the way.

Aerosol cheese as a lubricant, that I can do. In the mouth? Not so much.

Ooowh nice, you get any

Sounds like it would go nice with a poppadom, chopped peppers and/or a dab of mango chuckney...

dbd33

Sounds, and looks, Chavtastic. Thai mutter clearly aint the schmutter for Indian poppadoms.

Thai green curry can be served with parathas so its not that much of a stretch. Id try this cheese but my expectations would be low.

magnumpi

Thats a NO then

You have experimental cheese dollars???

Wensleydale with additives is not "real" cheese in my book.

REAL Wensleydale is made in Hawes by the "real Wensleydale cheese company" (most that is for sale in the UK and the rest of the world is made by Dairycrest in Lancashire believe it or not - a Yorkshire cheese made in Lancashire. generations of Yorkshire men and women must be rotating in their graves!)
But even the Hawes creamery put fruit in their cheese - a travesty in my book. I can cope with blue Wensleydale cheese, but not the stuff that is contaminated with fruit!

Sorry for the rant but this is a bug-bear of mine.... I have friends that worked at the Hawes creamery before Dairycrest decided to close it and move the Wensleydale cheese production to lancashire... the workers formed a cooperative and bought the creamery and now produce cheese themselves on a profit sharing basis.

And in my opinion, the wensleydale they produce is far better - probably due to the bacterial cultures tbh.

Camembert with caramelised red union chutney on a whole wheat cracker is delicious.

We only eat suff like that at Christmas, otherwise my waistline couldn't take it

Speaking of cheese, I nearly choked on my morning coffee when I came across this little gem:

But then, to my delight:

Yay !!!!!
