sysardman Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Anybody know of a shop that sells Cheshire cheese in the Chinag Mai area. Everywhere I go it seems that the only English cheese available is Cheddar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have tried Rimping, plenty of Cheddar, lots of exotic stuff too but have never seen Cheshire. I noticed a Thai dairy products place while searching on the Internet that claims to make Lancashire cheese which I think is pretty similar so if anybody has seen this for sale (their website only mentions outlets in Pattaya) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will bring Cheshire Cheese styled-grins to the faces of us expats who share this suffering. The Dutch will understand. Meanwhile I am also desperate for some bleue de Carrouges.

I have even seen Sage Derby in there (the Nim City shop) / Priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any helpers here? You have no idea mate - you know when you crave a cheese butty and all you've got is Cheddar, it's like offering a couple of aspirin to a heroin addict, it just doesn't cut it. I mean where would Wallace be without his Wensleydale? the guy built a rocket to the moon for his fix!!!! I like the Cheshire Cheese Club idea though, the CCC, we could dress up in cheesecloth robes and hoods and burn crosses in the supermarkets that don't sell Cheshire cheese. bleue de Carrouges - is that infectious?

sysardman Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) hi, are you from Cheshire ? You need to use the quote function so we know who you are aiming the question at - if it's me, then no I'm not but I appreciate a nice crumbly tangy cheese not that tasteless rubber stuff known as Cheddar (Ok I know there's mature Cheddars that have some taste but it's the combination of texture and taste I prefer).

Sorry didn't mean to start a debate about cheese and I did acknowledge that some Cheddars do have a taste but the majority sold here don't meet that criteria.

Sad and expensive try Thai food. Sad, not really, speaking for myself I do eat my fair share of Thai food but it's nice sometimes to have a 'taste of home' . And by that I don't mean the Big Macs and BurgerKings and other rubbish touted as western food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgriffith Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Mainland (NZ brand ) "Vintage" is a nice substitute for Brits in need of a cheese fix. Aged 24 mo., firm but slight crumbly texture. Sharp bite, melts well and goes great with pears and port wine. (Yes, I know it is officially a "cheddar" style cheese). Northern Farm- 170 THB for 250 g Expand your horizons...take a walk on the wild side- try it, you'll like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that's butter you're thinking of and for best results you take them on the Big Dipper ride at Blackpool, it makes their stomachs 'churn'. From Cheshire to Blackpool all in one thread, that's getting around a bit but what about all this French cheese and various Pate's I keep getting flyers about in the post from Big C, but when I look for it it's never on the shelves? When inquiring with staff I get a bemused look or 'don't know'. Seems the huge numbers of staff employed in this country are never taught anything about the job they are supposed to know something about. Meanwhile I'm still craving, especially the Pate'.

It's called bait - put all those tempting offers in the brochures and get the punters flocking in only to find it's all gone (if it really existed in the first place). Well might as well buy some of the other rubbish while we're here, how about some cheddar cheese.

Yep the choice here is awesome - red cheddar, yellow cheddar, white cheddar, sliced cheddar, diced cheddar, grated cheddar, hard cheddar, soft cheddar, runny cheddar.
