Subject: RE: BS: Cheese
Lincolnshire Poacher is another cheddar I've tried, but to me it ain't Wookey Hole! Every now and again I accidentally find a good Stilton, but more often I'm disappointed. The bog-standard Tesco one with the Union Jack on the wrapper used to be very good but I haven't tried it recently. You just never know with Stilton. Tried the much-vaunted Cropwell Bishop last week. I could appreciate the flavour, but the texture...it was like chewing a mouthful of clay. I find the Blacksticks blue cheeses too dry as well. Cornish Blue, made up on Bodmin Moor at Minions, is a lovely cheese, softer and milder than Stilton but beautifully balanced. Great with beer!   Cashel Blue from Ireland is very nice, but the best bit of it I ever had I bought loose off the cheese stall at Barnstaple pannier market. It looked a bit ropey and mouldy but it was a class act!
