Cheese Birthday Party - 7th Nov 2011

As promised i said i would blog about the cheese party and how it went.

The idea was for me to take lots of pictures of the fabulous cheese and the fabulous friends who brought it.

The party was going to be sophisticated with cheese laid out by type. Little flags indicating the flavour and wine laid out to accompany each cheese.

A bit like this..oooh sophisticated!

What happened was this..ehhhhhh.. mess!

This was only a mere 30% of the cheese!

It is not quite as pretty as I imagined but it meant new cheeses to try and as a result feature below;

NEW FAVOURITE CHEESES OF THE MONTH 

Mexicana Cheese - Available at Asda, Sainsburys, Tescos and Morrisons at the cheese counters. Extreme Mexicana is also available. I'm unsure of which it was that we had at the party but it blew my top off! DELICIOUS! click on the link above for info and leftovers photo for an image below.

Epoisse - Salty, creamy and smelly - nuff' said! Available at all good delis and all large chain supermarkets of course! £4.15 per round

Old Cave cheddar - Taste the Difference Wookey Hole Cave Aged Cheddar is available from Sainsbury's stores now, priced at £2.75 for 200g.

Berkswell - A personal favourite first tried out on Lambing Live the first series. see picture below. It is a delicious creamy sheep's milk cheese that used to be quite hard to get hold of. Now you can buy it in Harrods at the cheese counter and all Neal Yards shops and stalls.

 THE LEFTOVERS



Cheese dinners for a week! seriously though.. you can also see the mexicana cheese in the middle of the board


I want to to say a BIG thank you to my friends who came - so much thought was put into the cheeses that were brought it really was amazing!
