    Does Seriously Spreadable Vintage count ? Love that on crusty white bread

    Apart from that only really enjoy extra mature cheddar and sometimes Maasdam with ham in a sandwich

    The best burger i've ever had was a halloumi burger. It was in Bills about 10 years ago and it was a huge slab of halloumi with hummus, chilli jam, lettuce, cucumber and caramelised onion in a crusty white roll. Sooo delicious🤤🤤😍

    I make a really nice 'squeaky cheese' burger sort of the same way, but I add a couple of rashers of smoked bacon and sans the hummus and cucumber (hates me after)

    Mmm will have to get some halloumi

    That sounds so tasty @WelshBlue, I've also seen people cook halloumi on skewers with veg like onion and pepper and always think that looks so delicious. Have you tried it like that?

    Mmm mozzarella and cherry tomatos is one of my mams favourite summer lunches @Santosha12! She usually puts balsamic glaze over it and a bit of fresh basil too, I always think it looks (and smells!) so nice😍

    I call it squeeky cheese too @WelshBlue! Is that on the BBQ @Mary_Scope? It's delicious when cooked on a BBQ.

    I really like this cheese. I only tried it a few years ago, but one of my favourites now:

    Also, can't beat the Christmas cheese selections and crackers. 😍

    On the whole I agree … but cauliflower cheese with a roast dinner 😯

    Nooo and those people who I know have it, have usually had the cheek to call me a wrong 'un

    I enjoy Monterey Jack and cheese infused with chilli … but your stilitons and other 'stinky' cheeses are maybe too refined for my palate

    I love cheese too, I have to limit myself though because of health. My favourite cheeses are Shropshire blue and American style hot honey.

    My favourite is a simple strong(ish) locally produced farmhouse cheddar (I live in Somerset) - not the strength to take the enamel off your teeth - but enough strength to let you know what you are eating.

    You'd get accused of being a cheese smuggler these days @Santosha12 🤣

    Delicious @Wibbles, cheddar and pickle sandwiches used to be one of my favourite sandwich fillings😍

    Here's the lyrics to my cheese song

    **Verse 1**

    I woke up this morning with a rumble in my soul,

    Dreaming of a cheddar wheel as big as a wagon roll.

    From the sharp and crumbly mountains to the creamy brie-filled seas,

    The world spins a little sweeter thanks to glorious cheese.

    **Pre-Chorus**

    Melt it on a burger, stack it on some toast,

    Sprinkle it on pasta, that's what I love most.

    **Chorus**

    Oh cheese, cheese, wonderful cheese,

    You bring the strongest foodies down to their knees.

    Swiss with the holes, mozzarella's stretch,

    No matter the variety, you're impossible to forget.

    Cheese, cheese, shining with ease,

    The king of every snack board, if you please!

    **Verse 2**

    Parmesan's a snowstorm on a steaming bowl of spaghetti,

    Blue cheese walks in boldly and says, "Hope you're ready."

    Gouda's smooth and mellow, feta's salty and bright,

    A little block of happiness makes everything all right.

    **Pre-Chorus**

    Slice it, grate it, cube it, make it fondue,

    There are a thousand tasty things that cheese can do.

    **Chorus**

    Oh cheese, cheese, wonderful cheese,

    You sail across my crackers on a savory breeze.

    Camembert and provolone, halloumi on the grill,

    Every cheesy masterpiece gives me a thrill.

    Cheese, cheese, shining with ease,

    The hero of my lunchtime fantasies!

    **Bridge**

    Some folks chase diamonds, some folks chase gold,

    But hand me aged cheddar and watch my joy unfold.

    When life gets complicated and worries start to swarm,

    A gooey grilled cheese sandwich keeps my spirit warm.

    **Final Chorus**

    Oh cheese, cheese, magical cheese,

    You're the dairy superstar everybody sees.

    From the tiniest crumble to the biggest wheel,

    You're proof that happiness can be a meal.

    Cheese, cheese, wonderful cheese,

    Long may you reign over crackers and trees*!

    **Outro**

    (*Okay, maybe not the trees...)

    But cheese forever, if you please! 🎶🧀
