You’re heading out on a day’s journey to a nearby village, bringing along only a loaf of bread and a whole wedge of cheese for lunch. What cheese do you pick and why?

    A good strong cheddar, preferably at least 10 years old

  2. I would prefer Harzer. If I had to expect a very warm day, i would take some emmental or mountain cheese.

    Comte or Beaufort. Dense, meaty *and* fruity. It’ll go perfect with the apple I pilfer.

    Port salut, creamy and a little funky, perfect to spread on fresh bread

  5. PeperomiaLadder

    A giant chunk of Parmigiano Regianno, because I’ll eat the bread for lunch and save it for use throughout the month 👀😬

    Granny knows best. Swiss apparently and Howl would approve.

    Depends on the bread.
    And whether I’m allowed to add a fruit/veg.

    Cheddar Blue – So many good cheeses. But I think I’m going to have to go with cheddar blue. That’s just a good combo right there and would taste great with a fresh loaf of bread for the day.

    Something like feta so when I run into a troll I can say “Hey, I am strong enough to squeeze water out of this white rock”. Then I squeeze water out of my cheese, impress the troll, and he lets me pass instead of killing me.

    Double Gloucester because it’s moreish

    Probably either Parmesan or pecorino. One was created basically as a snack for soldiers (according to a cooking class teacher I had in Italy). I want to say pecorino but I can’t say for sure.

    Warm day – Emmental. Cool day – Brie de Meux. Cold day – sharp, old cheddar.

    Sophie took Swiss i will stay in the country and take emmental.

    A nice mature cheddar pickled onions and a big fuck off bottle of red 🍷

    What’s the weather like?

    If it’s warm, I’ll probably go with a brie, as it warms it gets creamier. But if it’s cool, I’d go with a blue or Cheshire, it’ll be nice and crumbly and will work well with the cold.

    This also is very dependent on the loaf of bread. for instance, I’m not doing a blue if the bread is rye

    I would slice open the bread, hollow out a little and fill it with Taleggio before my trip. Nature would do its work and I would have a gooey, yummy sandwich to eat all day.

    Ploughman’s lunch. Really old, sharp cheddar, a chunk of crusty bread, and a pint of beer.
