Stilton is the bland mild cheddar of blue cheeses

Holy poo poo, how can people choose just one favourite cheese? Like asking for your favourite film, it depends on your mood. There's best cheddar, soft, brie, goats, soft blue, hard blue, probably more types but Tesco's had some good offers on gin. EDIT: Whatever type Gruyere counts as.

my idea of purgatory is having to sit in an entirely beige room watching Michael McIntyre and Miranda continuously and having only mild cheddar, mellow birds coffee and those big, thin and entirely tasteless crackers with the little holes in for an eternity

Oh no, the UK is terrible at Mexican cuisine. Mexican cuisine is pretty much the same poo poo every meal but folded differently and given a new name. Buy some hot sauces from your local UK hot sauce provider:  Buy some ground beef, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper available in every supermarket. If you wanna go fancy buy some peppers too. Buy taco shells or burrito wraps and gently caress all the ingredients into the wrapper of your choice. Eat. Enjoy.

Somerset and Cornish Brie is better than French Brie.

I think our problem is that we make everything that isn’t the lowest quality mild cheddar garbage unbelievably expensive. So most people just buy brand name cheddar. And we focus on putting everything in packets when it’d be better & probably cheaper and more eco friendly (packaging anyway) behind a cheese counter. I have no idea how there aren’t any British “regional protected” cheeses like there are for many foods in other European countries, which also leads to American Cheddar representing us abroad.

As much as I love that the UK does have a pretty good selection of cheese, it distresses me how many of my coworkers' idea of a good and varied cheese platter is cheddar, cheddar with onions, cheddar with apricots, red Leicester, and Wensleydale with cranberries. Maybe a *~*blue cheese*~* if they feel like going absolutely crazy.

So I actually looked this up and apparently the phrase, "West Country Farmhouse Cheddar" is regional protected, but you can call any other poo poo cheese cheddar and it doesn't matter. It breaks my heart when americans call that orange crap cheddar, they don't even know it's named after a place smh

I have been visibly irritated while having to defend our cheese producing credentials, which I would argue are at least as good if not better than anywhere else in the world. I lived in France for two years and one thing that came up time and time and time again was how the French were overly proud of their own food yet similarly ignorant of everything beyond their own borders. I remember some conversations such as these:  You're eating cheese!!!   Yes? :aaaa: We have cheese too. Yeah but not good cheese like we do  ----- They're making a Roquefort sauce in the kitchen..........do you know what Roquefort is?----- From a couple I was carsharing with who were coming back from a week in Barcelona Yeah, it was great, we really didn't expect to find any good food outside of FranceI think I ended up leaving with less tolerance than when I arrived. wooger posted:I Oh there are.

Foreign language students who lodged with my parents often admitted part way through their stay that they'd been extremely worried that they'd have to eat really poo poo food in England. Part of that was hearing stories from other students though, who'd been put in houses where taking in the students was a real money making exercise and they just gave them the cheapest food they could find.

I really appreciate how readily available and varied the curry sauces are. A chicken breast fillet, a jar of tikka or korma, maybe some extra chili powder and boom dinner&leftovers.

The council is making another round of checking if your vulnerable status has changed and regardless of your situation, the food boxes will stop on 31st of July. RIP free green apples and canned meatballs. Those boxes really helped financially and reduced the amount we needed to go shopping or order online, which is pretty good jerb. Edit: Looks like galleries like Tate, Whitechapel and National Gallery are opening in mid July, too. It would be an interesting experience to visit those places without like tens of thousand tourists but I'll think I'll give it a pass for another month and see how things shape up.

I realised a while ago that the reason we don't get on with the French much is because we are so loving similar. Mix a french and a polish person together and you get a brit. There are good cheeses in France, but there are also good cheeses in Holland, Italy, Switzerland etc which are all pretty similar. Not many countries can match Stilton. I know Denmark tries, but it's far too creamy for what a blue cheese should be, unless it's that one that smells like a cross between cat vomit and untreated sewage (which I actually struggled to get in my mouth, if any resident Danes want to remind me what that was?) Cropwell Bishop produces like 6 different Stilton varieties alone and their Blue Shropshire I swear has a hint of chocolate or something, it's great. Also Tuxford and Tebbutt do a really nice Stilton that they sell in Asda. That's what I normally get.
