I am so sorry for my lack of curiosity about your taste in cheese in my previous post! I sometimes slip in my duties :pardon:

Please tell me about your three favourite cheeses :tea:

ha!

I think my favourite cheese is probably Brie. But it should be a nice old one where the crust has some resistance and the centre almost pours out - especially if I roast it a little and serve with fresh baked bread, onion chutney and port.

Second place is a peppered soft cheese like La Boursin au poivre. Not a lot of choice around for them, but when I find them I buy them.

3rd place goes to some old crumbly cheddar. Can't go wrong with it! It's almost comfort cheese for every occasion, except maybe cheese cake! Sometimes simple cheese and crackers is just what the heart desires!

Stilton and goats cheese would round up a top 5 - but the top 3 must remain the same!

Try melting some blue cheese in a half-hollowed tomato, the cut surface first sprinkled generously with freshly ground black pepper. Wrap it all together in folio and bake well in a charcoal grill. Goes especially well with meat grilled on same... :shiver:

I'm going to try that!! Sounds lovely.


Bella - next time you are in London - "Maxwell's" just off Covent Garden do a very good blue cheese angus burger. 1/2 lb of meat, cooked beautifully. YUMMY!

Add bacon bits and jalapeno peppers to the mix first, of course.

Depends on how powerful a punch you want from the taste. With simple grilled tenderloin, milder will do quite nicely and too much umph will kill the taste of the meat itself (if it's not game, of course).

That would be a main dish for me. :food:
