Do You Eat Cheese?

[Arthur Little]

... when I w're a lad, cheese was a commodity most people could rely upon as being relatively affordable. And, in an age of post-war austerity, many kids ate bread and cheese sandwiches - routinely provided in their lunch boxes.

But, like bread, it ain't cheap any longer ... and nowadays [as a pensioner] I've resorted to buying only when it's on special offer ... which, I suppose, is just as well - in the light of my high cholesterol count! My preferences remain unchanged, however ... having long favoured mild cheddar and Dutch Cheeses like Edam and Gouda.

Mature cheddar is always in my monthly shopping list! Sometimes I pick up some Mascarpone, for biscuits or crackers. And of course some Mozzarella for home made pizza...

For cheese on toast I also like Cheshire cheese, as that was the stuff I was raised on.. but double Gloucester can also get added to my shopping list on occasion..

But some other cheeses are just yuk..
