The Cheese Thread

[rattran]

I miss the french bread from the southern New Jersey coast. Crusty outside, soft inside, beautiful. Just made for cheese steaks.

One of the cheese stalls in my towns market (usually one is there on a Saturday) is a local guy, and gets a goat cheese from a farm in the village i grew up in, just down the road. The produce just a few dozen cheeses a year. If i was in certain parts of Europe this wouldn't be an unusual thing to say, but as a denizen of Essex it is.

My current fave is one of Sainsburys finest range Lancashires, its fantastic as is but also melted.  I got an Appenzeller (Swiss) today from different stall, to go with a nice brown rye levain from the bread stall.  He had a nice looking Morbier too but we already have a boxed selection in the fridge for Xmas.
