Yesterday we had pizza with whatever cheese comes on bought pizza (cheddar?) and I added some French goats' cheese. I have never seen this particular cheese before; John and Hannah bought it. The children liked it, it wasn't that bad, but very white (white cheese can be a bit off putting as it can look like lard), and I said 'that goat's cheese is nearly all gone' and John said 'that's okay, I don't like it' and I said 'it was on that pizza you ate!'
The other cheeses in our cheese box at the moment are stilton and something called 'stripy jack' which is five layers of English cheese (cheddar, double gloucester, lancashire, red leicester, cheshire, I think) and looks very pretty. The children like it because it's stripy.
When I was a kid, mother bought the mildest cheddar she could find and the blandest edam, and I thought I didn't like cheese. Then I tasted real cheese with flavour, and discovered I had been a victim of my mother's inability to cope with flavour.
Oh, and although 'English Brie' is something I'll happily eat and enjoy (and I answered it accordingly) it is also an abomination, in the same way that all those so-called Cheddars that don't come from the Cheddar area are abominations, and did you know England has more cheeses than France? I'm sure I remember right.
