366 Days of Cheese
Sarah found this cute little pack of Castillo cheeses, so that is me sorted for the next five days. Although I have just noticed that one of them is with pineapple, which sounds just weird. Also this is the first day when I am not really feeling like cheese. To counteract this I will need port, which I have just heard being poured!
Goats cheese Rarebit for tea at Brook House tonight. Along with some lovely beetroot chutney and Eskdale relish
Cooking chicken fajitas for tea, going to add the cheese to the wrap.
Bit disappointed in this, opened the pack to find it was mainly rind. Maybe that is the trouble with buying small bits of cheese. Very hard cheese, dry and perhaps over smoked.
More lovely sheeps milk cheese this time from Greenfields dairy near Preston. Limited myself to one biscuit and a medium layer of cheese.
Before leaving Ambleside i found a nice little deli, open on Sunday morning, so that sorted the next few days! the good thing about going to a deli is you can ask for quite small amounts of cheese, you might even get offered tasters!
Out on the town again! Celebrating a birthday over in Ambleside, Friday night in Dodds Restaurant which is well worth sitting at the tiny bar and waiting for a table, lovely salt and pepper squid. On Saturday we all went vegetarian with a trip to Zeffirellis, amazing how many people are out and about in the Lakes even in January. People should think about the Western valleys, a lot less people about at this time of year.
Now we are talking, real Cumbrian cheese from Thornby Moor Dairy on the road up towards Carlisle, if you like cheese then this is a place to visit, no mass production here, and it shows in this semi soft rich creamy cheese 2:1 cow to goat milk. Best cheese so far.
Feeling like a laughing stock, is it really cheese, apparently so, along with Dairylea, my daughter tries to live off it! Anyway needs must, the fridge was a little bare, not of cheese, just of cheese I have not eaten yet this year!
From that there Aldi again, crumbly Lancashire, one of my favorites, perfect on a digestive biscuit.
