I tiled my mates bathroom not so long ago. I did a damn fine job of it, if I say so myself, and in addition to my preferred payment method (cash) I was paid in scotch from him; his missis on the other hand works for a fine foods distribution place and sorted me out with a few goodies. Yesterday I unwrapped an innocent looking, nondescript cardboard box to find it stuffed full of olives and cheese.

Today I have been mostly eating the following:

Cropwell Bishop stilton - awesome
Saint Edburgha - a lot like Brie really.
Kinderton Ash goats cheese - quite nice, for goats cheese.
Mull of Kyntire cheddar - the best I've ever tried. Too good for toast!
Some boring Wensleydale
and a shitload of olives.

Now she gets stuff cheap or free if its going out of date in the next week or so. Any recommendations on good stuff for her to look out for?

I make my own cheese from prison milk and earn up to £15 a week for it because it better than Philli.

On my next leave i will give you the recipe and method for making it.

Do you use a culture taken from under your foreskin to get it started?

Personally, I 'd see if there was any chance of getting some of my fave French cheeses like Roquefort, Tomme de Savoie and Reblochon, a decent, properly ripened Brie or Camembert is a thing of much delight too.

Prison milk does sound like a euphemism for jizz Very Happy

Funnily enough I started a thread about cheese about 18months ago... here.

Personally I've always thought of Montgomery's cheddar as the king of cheddars, but I will have to chomp a noggin of the Mull of Kyntire cheddar and re-assess my position.

Had some cheshire the other day, just a non-descript variety from the cheese man at the local market. I'd forgotten how pleasant it is.

I bake a lot of my own bread and you can't beat a huge wedge of cheese on top of some buttered malty granary bread still hot from the oven!

As for cheeses to look out for, the montgomery's as I've already stated is a fine cheddar. Isle of mull and Lincolnshire poacher are fine cheddars too. Cornish Yarg (with it's edible nettle rind) is a lovely fresh and light cheese. I'm not a lover of blue cheeses, but if you can track down some Yorkshire Blue, it's very moreish! Not as strong or pungent as most other blues.

Damn I want some cheese right now!

I had a go at making some simple cheese with vinegar and salt a month or two ago, and it was surprisingly good, but took ages, and a lot of milk to make a small amount of cheese.

Impressed with my success, I ordered some rennet off ebay, but have no idea where it is now, as I put it somewhere after it arrived in the post.

I might buy some more, as rennet is the proper way rather than vinegar.

It tasted a lot like boursin.

a cheese I've been trying to get a hold of is Pecorino
I took the Mrs to Jamie Olivers for a meal and they served it as a platter with a selection of meats
it came with a chilli jam and it was really nice but can't find it locally
its an Italian cheese made from ewe's milk, its pretty hard crumbly cheese

The only good cheese on the list (presuming I trust your description of the Wensleydale.

Anyway, if you can try and find a good mature Gouda or similar - it has to be a decent mature one.

Not sure exactly what this one was (from a small 'fromagerie' in the foothills of the Swiss Alps) as my GCSE grade 'C' German from fourteen years previous didn't really help me. But something like a Vintage Gouda I reckon.

However, it was the best cheese I've ever had.
Gutted that my expensive sat nav has been stolen - because I could have used the tracks to find this place again one day and get more!
