    Best (*in the opinion of the people acting as judges for this given event. Your tastebuds may differ.)

    Not so much looking for something, as wondering something.. - has he ever played the same venue/festival 2 years in a row? - which city or venue has he played the most?

    Now we're being told that apples and pears might be in short supply too.

    This post, the new thread... "Why are my fans suddenly obsessed with cheese??"
  5. Hero
    It does! Thank you.

    Ah. I don't like Cab Sauv either. Your favourites are safe from me!

    I like your system better. Doesn't that depend on the wine though? A light merlot or pinot will have a different taste combination than a rich malbec or a complex shiraz.

    Ooh I don't think I've had gruyère yet. Tempting!

    Has anyone tried Casu Marzu? That's for strong stomachs only! It's actually illegal now I believe.

    Weird, it's still doing it. Oh well never mind - we're on a new page now.

    Never eating soft cheese again. Kidding, yes I know mould is part of the process. It's just, when it's actually visible, no thanks. Plus blue cheese tends to be strong, and I prefer a mild to mid range. Do you have a strength rating for cheeses? Our supermarkets label them 1 (very mild, edam) to 5 (very strong, super mature cheddar). I usually hang around the 2-3 range.

    That's brilliant! I do think it's about context - we expect to see him on stage or after the show, but not in the hallway or in the audience so are not as 'tuned in' as we might otherwise be. BTW, that was the Royal Festival Hall. I was trying to think when he'd played the Royal Albert Hall!

    Ohh, when was this? Don't know this story.

    @silver @mellody could this be resized please?

    Edam was my favourite cheese as a kid! These days I prefer something with a bit more nutty flavour, but I'll get mini babybels in sometimes too. A garlic and herb roule is yummy. Great on hot crumpets! Supermarket here does a "Austrian style" smoked processed cheese. It's pretty much 50/50 cheese and butter. It is sooo good. But I don't let myself buy it anymore.

    I was waiting for that.

    Sage Derby! I've not seen that for years. The Port Derby seems to be more popular round here.

    I'm only now realising how lucky we are for cheese in the UK! As well as British cheeses, we can usually easily find French, Dutch, Italian, German, Spanish, Swiss, Greek.

    Wensleydale is a hard cheese, although it's actually a bit crumbly. It has a creamy, piquant taste. Not sure about Pié d'Angloys.

    Just read a BBC article that in 2022, after the USA, France was the 2nd largest consumer of exported British cheese. Its near you!
  21. Hero
    Oh, what's Pié d'Angloys like? I think I've seen that sold near me.

    Red Leicester is like Cheddar, but with a nutty tang. It's a good all-rounder, sandwiches, cheese boards, cooking... I even melted a couple of slices on my veggie spag bol last night. Yum. Yes I'm the height of sophistication.

    Most tomatoes in the UK are grown overseas. Poor weather adversely affecting growers in the main producing countries has hit supply, and thanks to a little thing called Brexit () the UK is no longer in a protected supply bubble, so shelves are empty. Which has come as a nasty shock to the jingoistic idiots.

    Maybe we need a cheese thread? 🧀
  25. Hero
    Eww, no blue cheese thanks. Just the thought of eating mould. Even if it's meant to be there! 🤢 OK if we ever share a cheese board, @krysady can have my blue cheese and @crazyaboutmika can have my brie. Just give me the Red Leicester and Leerdammer.
