Not to put too fine a thread on it but your code words are totally unreadable on my computer. All I see is some pastel colored shadows. I wanted to comment on a cheese and could not read the code word to do the posting. If you are going to use the code words, at least make them dark enough that they can be read, preferably make them black.
What I was going to comment on was the Lincolnshire Poacher cheese.
I got some of the Lincolnshire Poacher on your say-so since I am a big fan of all the things you thought it reminded you of. You were absolutely right. What a great cheese! I am a big cheddar lover and this had all the good things I love about cheddar plus more. I will be getting this again and soon. Thanks!!
I'm a neophyte cheese-o-phile :-D and so don't feel qualified to do a full on review, but just wanted to put in a plug to review a couple of cheeses from Abergavenny &~~#~~40~~;~~from Wales&~~#~~41~~;~~ ~~--~~ I found on this site a review of cotswald, and so I decided to check it out. When I went to the cheese store to find it , next to cotswald on the shelf was Avergavenny's Tintern and Harlech &~~#~~40~~;~~http://www.somerdale.co.uk/abergavenny.htm&~~#~~41~~;~~.. cotswald looked kind of like "plain" cheddar w/ herbs in it, while tintern looked altogether different from the few cheeses I've tried before &~~#~~40~~;~~i.e. not like cheddar, and not smooth/creamy like brie/cambozolo&~~#~~41~~;~~ so I decided to give them a whirl
I LOVE tintern. I am a big horseradish/wasabi/grey-poupon fan, and I was a smidge disappointed at the lack of sinus-clearing strength on halrech's cheese, but is still great.
I have since tried cotswald, and my limited experience of herbs-in-the-cheese kinds of cheeses, I like tintern hands down better. I think I'd like the cheese even if it didn't have the herbs in it. &~~#~~40~~;~~imho cotswald seems to be "just" cheddar with chives in it, but tintern cheese itself is white and diff texture &~~#~~40~~;~~and taste&~~#~~41~~;~~ than anything I've hard, and in addition has the herbs in it.
anyone ever tried them? agree/disagree? what cheeses might be similar to tintern as far as the actual cheese &~~#~~40~~;~~i.e. if it didn't have herbs in it..&~~#~~41~~;~~
