Purchased I may add for  OH  as he is not a lover of anything other than his boring old cheddar...a right stick in the mud.    I have to make him steak and kidney pies and pasties (we lived in Cornwall )  I just love all the French cheese and could happily live on them.    Report

Anyone know of a crumbly cheese like a Lancashire or Wensleydale that I can use in a pear pudding recipe I like.  Pear and crumbly cheesed baked in a pastry case and served upside down.  Manages to look impressive and taste sublime.     Report

Surprised that nobody has mentioned Livarot for its general stinkiness. My own favourite is still Double Gloucester though.   Will intentionally blank signature http://www.vienormande.com    Report

Surprised that nobody has mentioned Livarot for its general stinkiness. My own favourite is still Double Gloucester though.   When we lived in Stroud there was a stall on  the farmers market from Wick Court Farm, Nr Saul and if you like Double Gloucester Will you would love the Single Gloucester from them. They only use there own Glousester cattle for the milk and it is wonderful!! Jonathan Crump makes it in a tiny-ish dairy in a farm yard full of ducks and chickens running around. We bought a half rare breed lamb from him once. When we went to collect it he weighed it and reconed up the price. When he saw the price he told us that he thought it was too much for 1/2 a lamb and knocked £10 off of it! That lamb was as good as his cheese and produced by a really lovely bloke! I still love Petty Basque!! John. The only difference between the men & the boys is the size & the shape & the price of their toys!!    Report

My other half is rather partial to Stinking Bishop. Cathy ----- Your children won't remember you ironing their pyjamas but they will remember you reading them a bedside story.    Report

I never realised until recently just how different cooked goats cheese tasted and I have been eating slices of this, quickly dry fried  and on top of a green salad. It smells awful but tastes divine.    Report
