Andrew Dwyer Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Well it was Wallaces favourite of course (or was it Grommits favourite?) Well it was definitely Wallaces favourite, not sure about Gromit though. I think most dogs will eat any cheese but, one made out of plasticine ? Not sure there ! But we could always start a new thread about it [emoji51]Some interesting info cropped up while i was searching for your answer.......... prepare yourself !!https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6510626/Wallace-and-Gromit-star-Peter-Sallis-confesses-he-cant-stand-Wensleydale-cheese.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 In the UK for a few months earlier this year and I ate huge amounts of outstanding cheese, extra mature cheese from M&S, 500grams, £3, who wouldn't! But despite the huge intake of fats, my blood tests came back as some of the best I've ever seen in the past ten years, PLUS, I lost 6 kgs during the trip....go figure.I certainly aim to sample a couple of cheeses on my forthcoming trip !, but I usually walk quite a bit on my visits ( my dads and daughters dogs get plenty of exercise when I’m over) and do seem to lose a bit of weight myself.The problem is coming back over here with a suitcase full of cheese and very little walking !!Will have to increase my cycling ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a herbed Garlic/Dill, the texture of a very firm sliceable Feta (rather than crumbly) that was delicious. So much so, we finished it in two days, sliced on Ritz crackers. Milk and fresh herbs from Rimping, rennet from E-bay, cheese cloth from YOK. Fresh cheeses are VERY easy to make at home. This one took just about three hours total time, including the waiting between steps, perhaps 30 minutes actual working time. Farmer Cheese, Feta, Mozzarella, herb cheese spreads... all just about as easy to make at home. Nothing like really fresh Mozzarella in a Caprese salad or melted on a baguette! Almost all the milk in Thailand is reconstituted and can't be used to make cheese. I'm interested in what kind of milk you used to make mozzarella. I had to go to the university dairy and get the non pasteurized stuff before I had any success. You can order decent mozzarella here if you live out that way. https://taladin-market.com/contact-us/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, we often make Farmer's cheese and soft cheese spreads using ordinary bottles of mike from Tops and Rimping. It just takes more Rennet or lemon juice than usual.

That's because cheese especially Cheddar is very low carb and recommended in keto diets .No surprise you lost weight an of course you weren't eating White rice daily that's extremely high carb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The milk at the Thai-Danish milk factory in Chiang Mai (opposite the zoo) appears to be real as they will sell it raw. I was out cycling the other day an saw a pickup full of milk churns collecting from the farms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chingmai331 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Sell raw milk? Sounds very foolish. Far too many ignorant people here, and many diseases might be found in raw milk. Cook it and make cheese? Of course no problem with bacteria but i can't advise drinking raw milk. I never knew 'churn' was a noun. A UK specialty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canthai55 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Always amazed at the posters on this forum, who live here, and do not ask the local people where to buy things.

chingmai331 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Sorry britman, but you are confused, and ignorant of both microbiology and fermentation processes. No one is stopping you from drinking raw milk, or drinking urine (also recommended by some health nutters). Some folks handle rattlesnakes in hopes of gaining an eternal and happy life close to god. good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chingmai331 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 FolkG. Plz inform the dictionary people of the change. Here is what i read: CHURN noun a container or machine in which cream or milk is agitated to make butter. any of various containers or machines similar in shape or action to a butter churn, as a device for mixing beverages. British. a large milk can. an act of churning stocks by a stockbroker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not new to North Americas, I grew up calling metal milk containers 'churns,' so it dates back in the US at least 70 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
