I've discovered toasted cheese. Not toasted cheese sandwiches - toasted cheese. Wonderful stuff. You know, maybe English cuisine isn't that bad.

Toasted....cheese?

is that like them toasties that do the filling hot enough to kill you?

They use a particular kind of cheese. Since I didn't make it myself, I don't know what kind and sort of forgot to ask.

Umm do mean like roasted camenbert in the wooden box?

It doesn't specify the type of cheese, but the red wine one has got me thinking...

Since this is turning into a cheesy thread, no cheesy thread would be complete without mentioning this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_marzu).

Enjoy. :D

that stuff is awesome bbq'd

He means cheese on toast, which is indeed great. The Canadian variation, as we called it in my house, was to have marmite underneath the cheese. Mmmm...

a few drops of Lea & Perrins...seriously nice.

Sandwich.

Butter on one side, mustard on the other, beef in between. English as cricket and tastes better.

I've been introduced to that this summer's barbeque season by a flatmate of mine and have been craving it ever since. It's absolutely perfect fried in a pan, either by itself or some alibi 'meal' addition.. hach.

Ah, cheese on toast. That makes more sense.

Yeah, definitely nice. And not really an English "delicacy", as such, more a UK/Ireland "delicacy"

cheese on toast is a total classic. try it with some paprika sprinkled on top for something extra :)

though marmite and cheese does sound vomity

Red Lester!

You called? *wonders if anyone he knows is online and will understand*

Red Leicester is good, but a decent Cheddar beats all!

try Parmesan cheese crisps

4 cups Parmesan cheese, coarsely grated

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heavily grease a cookie sheet (parchment paper is optional, but if using parchment, make sure it is heavily greased). Sprinkle the coarsely grated Parmesan cheese into a 5 inch diameter circle. Make sure there is just enough to cover the area thinly, don't over do it! Place in the oven and bake for approximately 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the cheese pancakes from the sheet pan and quickly place them over a rolling pin to shape them and allow them to cool. Be extremely gentle with them...they are very brittle when cool. Repeat with remaining cheese.

of course the shaping part is optional - it makes for a nice little taco shell type thing if you decide to put any filling in it


de-fucking-licious

As a vegetarian who's not all too fond of salad.. nah. :] But I can just munch it away all on its own - although I always find the texture slightly odd to chew on, frankly.

Enjoy. :D

The larvae themselves appear as translucent white worms, about 8 mm (1/3 inch) long. When disturbed, the larvae can jump for distances up to 15 cm (6 inches), prompting recommendations of eye protection for those eating the cheese. Some people clear the larvae from the cheese before consuming; others do not.

Only cheese I know of where Protective gear is recommended... :eek:

I'm, a-fraid we're fresh out of red Leicester, sir.

.. giving it an animal-like touch I'm not sure I like. ;P

On a scale of one to it isn't, it really, really isn't. Try it. It's what the French call "not bad".

Marmite is best combined with a cream cheese and lots of black pepper. On a bagel.

Dashanzi's recipe for poncey cheese on toast:

lightly toasted granary bread
wholegrain mustard or green pesto
grated mature Davidstow cheddar
lots of coarse ground black pepper
a few splashes of Worcester sauce and Tabasco
a sprinkling of chives

Good shit indeed.

oh gads...YES! try Parmesan cheese crisps absilutely delicious...

and it has to be said...Ahhhh! The power of Cheese!

I cooked that on the BBQ last Sunday! :)

Toasted/grilled haloumi is divine - we have it in salads or just on its own.

Is that plural for marmot? (http://clarkvision.com/galleries/images.nature-2/web/c083101.02.28-600.marmot.jpg)

I wouldn't put it past you Canadians. :p
