Thread Name: BS: The best cheese is Lancashire!
Subject: RE: BS: The best cheese is Lancashire!
I am not too terribly adventurous about food, and cheese is no exception. I like the milder cheeses, but a good extra-sharp cheddar has to be my favorite. A nice treat with tart apples. I also have come to love cheese on toast, that English delicacy. Thank the gods my broiler works or I'd starve. Dice up some broccoli and onions and   add herbs and saute in butter and toss that on your bread before covering it with cheese and broiling: a nice quick veggie meal. Most American cheddars (esp. Vermont and New York) are suitable to the purpose. I am very fond of Engish Farmhouse Cheddar, which one can find in better shops here.


Always remember: anything other than FRESH mozzarella is not worth using! And freshly-grated Romano, Parmesano or other hard cheeses for pasta, etc. is far superior to the pre-grated stuff. Same idea as fresh-ground coffee beans as compared to pre-ground, freeze-dried...
