I shall check with her majesty and get back to you, but the divine ruling last I looked favoured broccoli as a cheese. :yep:

I just said not all vegetables :wink:

Gruyère

True, really true! maybe quite expensive, but a nice cheese to gratin. If I do gratin again, I choose gruyere again! :h:

I swear that poll option said Stilton/blue cheeses when I voted for it. :grumble:

Stilton wouldn't be my favourite on that list. :no:

Yes. I last had it in mid january when my german side of the family came over for my Grandpa's funeral. A couple of days after the funeral we were kind of having a final feast before they traveled back to munich. We had the most epic cheese selection, meat salad, breads and chutneys. It was totally divine and the gruyere stood out for sure.

Oh yeah - my mum is veggie and the ‘veggie fish and chips’ is with halloumi. Although my partner is also veggie and couldn’t have the halloumi and chips the other day in a pub but it didn’t quite so why, maybe it’s cooked in lard or something from an animal.

I love halloumi. Tbf I would eat any cheese. I had a sticky toffee pudding cheese once which was really weirdly nice :tongue:

I've googled Halloumi just now and rennet is what they curdle the milk with, so strictly speaking an animal will have died at some point in the production chain. Depends how much research you do and how picky you are I guess :dontknow:

Sticky toffee pudding cheese sounds like an absolute abomination but I would also like to buy 10 kilos of it.

For me, the best type of cheese is knob cheese, otherwise known as smegma or smeg

In terms of eating cheeses as cheeses, rather than in things or on things etc, I'm madly into comté.

I also really like Gouda, but it's far better when it's aged.

I really dislike blue cheese. I think it's probably an acquired taste but I can't stand it long enough to acquire it.

Halloumi is a big, squeaky, overrated nothing.

I love cheese but it doesnt love me enough. So ive been super excited to discover lactofree brie. Its amazeballs! Now i have a mild and strong cheddar i can eat too. its the soft cheeses which arent that good but im allowed some lactose so i use my allowance on soft cheeses
