What i do with little bits and bobs of cheese, any cheese.

Is, i cook some pasta, then i melt down the bits and bobs with a bit of cream and mix with the pasta.

Great way to get rid of old cheese. Add a bit of garlic too.

But, i think you all knew that anyway!! Not stupid.

The Dutch baker at Chiang Rai Ban Lom Jen Homestay makes fantastic cheese rolls, as in cheese baked into the roll.

Hopefully he'll read this and give me a free one next time.

Some types of cheese, the mild ones, go better with wine, red wine (except fondue and raclette, which go with white), but the the sharp ones go well with a pint of bitter, which reminds me, I haven't had Schabziger cheese for decades.

Mmmmm dripping Raclette on sourdough toast...mmmmmmmmmmm!

Raclette is eaten with potatoes.

I've seen raclette served also with side dishes of pickled shallots and cucumbers in some restaurants, less likely so in an alpine cabin, but I agree with the potatoes, en chemise, definitely no bread or toast.

Us Brits have embraced fusion cuisine better than our European friends it seems.

Getting things confused, perhaps? It is bruschette that use toasted sourdough bread.

That is not to say that there are no people eating cheese, even raclette cheese, with toasted sourdough bread, but calling this raclette seems rather foolish. This example from the USA calls it a grilled raclette cheese sandwich, to which I am not inclined to object.

Had to Google this one.

Looks delicious.

Friend of mine from Austria gave me some farm made limburger in April. 

Delicious, now in late October it's crunchy and even better. 

Wifey hate it, have to brush my teeth two times every time I eat it. 

 

Monterey Jack and Swiss

 Off course. 

Anybody seen any Chesire cheese over here, the really crumbly cheese, I've never seen any over here.

I enjoyed a welsh rarebit the other day with a pint of craft beer.

 

Utter heaven.

 

Yet to find anything similar in Bangkok.

Don't see that very often even in the UK.

 

I thought the Sofitel cheese buffet in Bangkok has it...but it could be a roquefort induced hallucination.

I laid out some Blacksticks Blue the other afternoon with some crackers then fell asleep in my hammock for a few hours.

 

The resulting gooey mess was one of the most intensely delicious cheese experiences I've ever had!

Even if you don't like Cheeses, Cheeses still loves you.

Sorry, I coudn't help it. It was stronger than my fear of getting banned.

Holy Cheeses! This is long winded!

A few years ago I was at a Bangkok restaurant that had a separate room with an exhibition of an incredibly large number of cheeses, but I forgot its name and address. Was it at the Millennium Hilton in Thonburi? Does it still exist, this cheese gallery?

I love cheese but not in Thailand since it costs 5 times more and is not high quality cheese.

The Sofitel on Sukhumvit has its cheese room....perhaps that's the one you were thinking of....all included in the buffet.

Then you are doing your Thailand cheese experience all wrong....you have to limit it to a couple of times a year and live for the half price Cathedral cheddar deals in Tops or wherever.

In the Makro they sell good priced cheeses, the problem is that you have to buy the whole block from 3-4 kg..

They do sell small blocks though but very expensive compared to that big block. How much will it cost mr CP to let a girl cut a cheese into pieces and pack/price it? I never bought their cheese though because i feel cheated at their prices.

 

Makro also has shredded cheddar, 1 kg for 400 baht or so....not expensive but why is it shredded? Anyway, i don't trust that cheese for it's price.

The freshly grated Parmiggiano went up my nose when I was having a sniff today.

 

Brought back Friday night memories long forgotten lol.

I got a 226g wedge of 'Cello' parmesan from my local makro the other day, 'artesan...12 month aged'...expensive, cost about the same in baht...also got some whole wheat pasta and now gettin' ready to whip up a sauce with ground beef to see how it tastes...

 

once in saudi they had a special on parmesan at the supermarket deli counter and went crazy makin' pesto (nice european fresh basil always available as well as pine nuts) and parmesan with everything...outta this world...

 

savage islamist Saudi Arabia but light years ahead of Thailand in terms of cuisine...so long as it's halal or, not haram...parmesan cheese comes somewhere in between...

I find it impossible to stop grating once I start....I have to wear gloves or I'd end up bleeding.
