As a cheese enthusiast, I was keen to investigate the wide variety of English cheeses, and perhaps find one that I haven’t tried before. I was disappointed. There were lots of French cheeses. We found some very friendly purveyors of a large selection of Swiss cheeses. But we had to search extensively to find the two small stalls selling English cheeses. One sold a single variety, suited for melting as an accompaniment to other hot food. The other stall sold just four varieties of English cheese, and as far as I can recall three of those were varieties of cheddar. The fourth was Lord London, a creamy soft cheese, made in Sussex, which @shepherdmanswife and I tried and enjoyed and so we purchased some for later consumption. It occurs to me as I write that I travelled to Borough Market in an almost fruitless search of cheeses of better quality than those available in supermarkets, when Leicester has quite a substantial monthly Farmers Market, not to mention an excellent indoor meat, fish and cheese market. I really shouldn’t forget my local options.
Fantastic cheesy shot! Haha! Seriously, a nice composition of deliciousness. At the moment I love a cheddar and walnut cheese which is sold in our local farm shop.
A lovely shot!! Wherever I go in England I try to find a local cheese to try. I have found some fabulous blue cheeses and goats cheeses that you just can't get in the local supermarket.
