    Hi finn ☺️ you've finally got something that i would help devour (the last few videos have been foods and drinks that i would only consume if my life depended on it lol) but yea, that looked a lot!
    My mam does a cheese plate after our family Christmas dinner but everyone else is always full by that point so its always just me sat there, stuffing my face. I'll sit there by myself for cheese and biscuits, i dont care 😆

      Hi Siobhan! You would be welcome to helping us devour all the cheese goodness! What would be your cheese preference?
      Have a great weekend! :)

    Tina, once again I'm impressed at your conviction to the cheese cause. What a fab idea to attend a course to build your knowledge and indulge in all those interesting cheeses guilt-free! 2 x 4hr sessions is a real commitment. Were you able to sneak 'off piste' and eat even more cheese, or were you required to be on your best behaviour throughout?!!
    I'd be happy to try all those varieties, they sound good. I remember how pungent the fridge can become with smelly cheeses. I know you can freeze it.
    Have you heard of the Italian cheese 'delicacy' that contains live maggots which are the key to the unique flavour? As adventurous as I am, this is a step too far, even for me!
    Great video. Hope you both enjoy your remaining samples with maybe a drop or two of that lovely Californian wine. Cheers! 🥂 😊

      Hi Agranda, Happy Friday! Thank you! Best behaviour wasn't mandatory, you can always turn the web cam off (some people did, I suspect they were getting sneak samples!).
      Oh goodness, the cheese with the maggots - I've heard of it but...oh, I don't think I could go there. That's just a bridge too far!
      Thank you for watching and we hope you have a great weekend! :)

    Hey guys happy Friday. Cheese Heaven! Great excuse for a cheese and wine evening. Yeh they do cheese clubs and wine clubs over here too. My Mrs pays tenner a month and a huge box of 12 prestige wines arrives every year just in time for Christmas. 🍷🍷🍷 Cheese and wine evenings are the best. Liking the little extras too. Have a good weekend Tina, Ross. All the best J

    Yes lots of British people including me like to take the Mic about American cheese. That's because we just don't see it. All we we is cheese in a can or burger cheese.

    • @FinnLovesFood
      @FinnLovesFood  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Hi Neil, Happy Friday! The spray can cheese and burger cheese does sesem to be the American cheese stigma, ya, we get a bad rap for it but there are some pretty decent American cheese, also some decent California wines. What would be your cheese preference? Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for watching! :)

      It's annoying that we can't get American cheddar. We get stuff from all over the world. I don't have a favourite because we a spoilt for choice. We do get Californian wine they are always good.

      @@neilgayleard3842 not during the class, but we were given literature that had extensive beer and wine pairings. One recommendation was to have something with bubbles, whether it's seltzer water or sparkling wine, to help cleanse the palate between cheeses.

    Very nice video with all that cheese and things to eat with it, I don't think I could have done what you did though Tina because I'm to eager to eat it, perhaps I could do it at a cheese and wine party but not on my own, what was it in the tub without any label on it, have a nice weekend

    • @FinnLovesFood

      HI Michael. We had to have everything prepped and cut by the start of class. That first class we didn't get to sample until almost an hour in! It was hard not to sneak some. 😄
      The unmarked tub was unaged Selles-sur-Cher. It's shipped from France, washed in a vegetable ash and aged in their caves. It ends up a gray and wrinkly cheese after aging! It was fun to try them side by side.

    Hello Ross n Tina
    Wowsers what a haul u got there, I'm so excited and glad u got to experience all those lovely cheeses. The Mangenco is Spanish I love that as cheese, incidentally what u may not know reason Stilton has viens in during curing process they insert barbed wire into cheese helps give that viens look. Wire is removed after while, often with mold looked like bit brie in video that had mold often soft cheese is left gk like that on outside it does ripen flavour, having tried some I can vouch for that.
    You have your Peters Yard crackers pair with cheeseboard suggestions, some your lovely cheese may go with them.

    • @FinnLovesFood
      @FinnLovesFood  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Hi Richard! The Manchego was paired with some Spanish walnuts. Nice combination. There was a definite absence of British cheese. They had some Cheddars, one clothbound, but made in the US.
      Funny you should mention the Peters Yard crackers as that crossed my mind as a great way to use all that cheese!

    Hi both. 👋 . Hope you are well. I am feeling better. Laryngitits is virtually gone barr that odd tickle of a chest cough and just gotten over conjunctivitis.
    Otherwise, foot doing fine. I have been out a couple more times either for a walk to the chemst (pharmacy) and corner shop . Also, i went out to meet with friends twice this month. I have been busy today with house work and washing my bedding to make up later.
    My foot is sore today but that's because it's not used to walking for long periods. I managed to wear nice boots on both feet. 🙂.
    Anywho. , still cold in the UK and mostly wet. Lol. enjoyed this video. If i could eat cheese more , i'd be the size of a house : much bigger than i already am. Lol. I just had a small bowl of salad with some grated lactose free cheese. Hugs. Have a good week. 👍 xx

    What cheese was in the unmarked tub ? Was it cottage cheese?

    • @FinnLovesFood
      @FinnLovesFood  Před 3 měsíci +1

      It was unaged Selles-Sur-Cher. It's sent from France to Murray's and aged in their caves so we got to try both the unaged and aged version of this cheese.
