Alanna, I honestly can’t imagine why someone would dislike you or your videos. You’re very personable, very funny and your videos are well produced. And your grading system is just fine, you don’t need to change a thing.
Wensleydale is the kind of cheese that you eat with fruit (like those grapes you had) or fruitcake. You've probably seen Wensleydale sold with ginger or cranberries in it. I'm a huge fan of extra mature crunchy cheddar, but Wensleydale is dessert for cheese lovers. Try it alongside a mince pie too. Love taking a bite of both and letting them combine in your mouth!
After watching your vids from random YT suggestions for some time now, I have two things to say: 1- Well done on the scoring system. Love it. 2- Welcome to officially being English and not giving a shit what your viewers think. Also love it. Video score: 16/19.6 Maids Milking
I love these videos. I mainly watch stuff that are all about my own interests. You're the only person I've sat and watched eat cheeses, you make these simple things entertaining! Keep them coming! I'll keep watching!
Alanna, this is the best video you have ever uploaded. You need to point people to this video and tell them this is the best representation of your UA-cam channel. If they don't find this video entertaining, they're not watching for the entertainment value. Anyway, that's why I watch this channel. I enjoy your irreverent sense of humour, and you just look like you're enjoying yourself. As long as you keep making videos to please yourself, I will be watching.
If you really want to annoy the internet at multiple levels, do a tea bag comparison taste test. The great thing is that however you make your tea it is guaranteed to annoy 75% of viewers.
I don't know whether anyone's mentioned it before, but the 'crunchiness' of some cheddars is apparently down to salt crystallising out into the curd as it dries and matures. And it's fab!
Thank you for the cheese test. I look forward to trying some of that cheese. If I can find it here in the states. Thank you for all the great feedback on the uk. Some day I'm going there. I have learned so much from you I have never heard about in my 55yrs. Cheers
5 second rule!!! Your videos are jumping up another level recently. Definitely digging the new scenery. Yes, originally from Jersey. Mmm...creamy butter. We rule the butter world. Apparently.
' Definitely digging the new scenery.' - by 'scenery' do you mean cleavage? Not that I noticed, myself, personally. I only watch for her funny facial expressions.
Jersey is beautiful place to visit & my favourite holiday destination. You MUST try Jersey Royal New Potatoes boiled in their skins served with with a dollop of butter. Heaven! :)
The crunch in the cheddar is from the calcium lactate crystals, they form naturally in extra mature cheese and and are perfectly safe and in a lot of cases even desirable :)
Yes, I'm from the states... Pennsylvania to be exact and I have eaten Saltine crackers with butter on and sometimes make a sandwich out of 2 Saltines with butter and sometimes I also use those buttered crackers in my soup to sop up some of the liquid.
Hiiii just got started on your channel a few days ago, and seriously it’s so good and under-rated. Really interesting, upbeat and funny content. You’re a total legend, keep it up famalam 🙌🤚.
when it say "open" on Lancashire cheese it means crumbly , a decent Lancashire cheese is "open" and very tangy ( usually from the forest of bowland) , and yea , I always have cheese on crackers with butter ( its just not the same if you don't ) , another great vid Alana , keep up the good work luv ;) x
Hello! I am a Canadian from Ontario as well. I love your channel and the frankness and candour with which you present your vlogs. I just also wanted to add that my Mum used to butter her crackers as well.
Great video as always, you could review bin liners and it’ll be interesting, you are a ray of joy in these previous difficult times, keep up the good work your doing a great Jon, take care and be safe.
Lancashire cheese and sliced fresh tomato grilled on an enamelled plate till it bubbles (yum) and dip bread and butter in it. OMG. I could live off it.
I completely identify with this! Living away from the UK now, I now recognise all the good things that seem to have been invented to go with tea: crumpets, muffins (which you toast - and are not 'muffins' as understood by Starbucks, etc. - those are small cakes), and not forgetting Digestive biscuits - plain or with chocolate..!). YES - butter on crackers, definitely - love that too...
I can't count how many times I've got into arguments about the definition of 'a muffin'! Living in Europe, and they've been brainwashed by Starbucks, so it's my solemn duty to reeducate.
Everyone's mentioned Stilton, the only other one you might have missed is Caerphilly (baggsy Caerphilly cheese steak), but honestly all you need in life is cheddar
Red Leicester is my favourite because its great on pasta melted and You can eat it any time of the day, anywhere, everyday. Its not a strong flavour but I love that.
Hey! What happened to our Blue Cheeses. If you like strong cheese then you must try Stilton, Blue Vinny or Stinking Bishop. No Joke they are classic British cheeses. I bet you wont be able to eat them!!
Another informative and humorous look at foods, good job. It being the festive season I would like to see your take on nuts. No cooking or preparation needed, some skill with nutcrackers optional. Try Brazil nuts, Walnuts, Almonds, Cashews, Pecans, Hazelnuts, Pistachios and lastly good old Peanuts. (Probably best to stick with the pre-shelled nuts tbh but the sight of a few exploding Brazil nut shells peppering the office walls would be fun to see) If you have nut allergies please ignore this suggestion. Whatever else, have an enjoyable Christmas.
just caught up with this video and as ever totally endearing lol I'm a Yorkshireman and am not overly keen on Wensleydale either but the Creamery in Hawes is fantastic ! Hawes itself is in the Yorkshire Dales and is a beautiful village the creamery being in the centre, you can visit and see them making the cheese . If you love mature cheddar i really urge you to seek out Abbots Choice made at the Hawes Creamery wonderful stuff which im sure would give those Cornwallians ( love that lol ) a run for their pirates .
Keep your rating scale - it’s genius. I completely agree with that outcome. Personally I prefer a more refined approach to eating mature cheddar. I hide somewhere and bite it straight from the pack while mumbling something out not sharing... try it sometime 😉
Great video and kudos for not editing out the slight mishap. Love your scoring system - it's the best thing about your eating vids. My main reason for commenting today was your outfit - always looking good and nicely clothed but today, for me, you just nailed it girl! Simple and elegant, set off your complexion and of course your lovely hair perfectly. The pleated skirt topped it off (can you say that about a skirt?). Thank you and keep up the good work.
Wensleydale cheese with a slice of Christmas cake..mmmm, methinks you need to revisit York, but bring your camera this time, please don’t invite me for cheese and carpet biscuits 😃
Supermarkets usually do a great cheese selection for around £5 around Christmas time, usually a brie, smoked, a stilton and wenslydale with cranberries and a red Leicester or cheddar, pretty traditional to eat around Christmas time, all taste better if left out of the fridge at least an hour to get to room temperature.
Personally I like to make cocktails of up to 5 kinds of cheese on on cracker (I'm crazy that way) the stilton goes surprisingly well with wenslydale with cranberries.
"The time has passed , I do not want to get rained on" How many summers have you been here now ;) this is Britain you are going to get rained on it is the law :)
Yes to the west country - Somerset: Cider/Cheddar Cheese, Devon: Cream Teas, Cornwall: Pasties/Cream Teas, Cheese. Just load up the car to the roof with cheese.
tomarse99 my visit to the West Country. Devon- cider, otter and cream teas and properly crimped pasties. Somerset- delicious delicious cheddar. Cornwall - overpriced mr whippies on a (sub)-Par beach
James Lee Cornwall defo has its good and bad points. It’s a mystery how it doesn’t sink when 90% of the uk population hit it on a sunny May bank holiday.
tomarse99 what good points does Cornwall have that are not shared by its neighbour to the east, and Devon has less crowded beaches and more types of sand
Awesome video, very funny, esp the dropped crackers... not that that ever happened of course. But one glaring omission is if you're gonna try a bunch of British cheeses, you really should have included Stilton. It's not called the King of Cheese for nothing.
Hugh Tube Yep, Stilton is in a league of its own. Especially when it's properly mature and left out of the fridge for a few hours before eating. Out of this world.
Everything dairy you have to go to Cornwall. Me and my fella stay on freathy cliffs every November and it’s an incredible experience. Windy walks and cosy nights in. It’s such a beautiful part of the world 😊
My Dad used to make Jam & Cheshire Cheese sandwiches, which he would say was a delicacy. A typical Yorkshire man in terms of what he thought was sophisticated. I think I might have to go out and buy some. Brings back memories.
13:00 - she shoots.. she scores on 'Lancastrians'! Lancashire is really good eaten with fruit cake and red wine. They're mostly talking about crumbly texture when they describe it as 'open'.
Extra mature cheese is the best, I'm with you there! Although Wensleydale and Cheshire cheese is pretty similar, Wensleydale and cranberry is absolute killer! You have to give it a try!
This is the best food test video you've done so far. Random facts about cheese, if you have a piece of cheese before you go to bed at night it will stop you getting bad breath
I always assumed you presented to a static camera, but it is clear from biscuitgate that you have an actual human camera operator. A big round applause to him or her for their commitment over the last 3 years. They have witnessed a lot of eating and drinking. I hope they get to have the leftovers!
Except that's not the case, except for "West Country Farmhouse Cheddar" - though Cheddar was originally made in Somerset, 'Cheddaring' has become the name of a specific method of making cheese, and any cheese made by that method qualifies as Cheddar cheese, though I agree that no other Cheddar comes close to a good vintage extra mature English cheddar. 'Regional' names for English cheeses aren't always regional: specifically, Blue Stilton cheese is never made in Stilton, and wouldn't qualify as a true Stilton even if it was. Like "West Country Farmhouse Cheddar", Blue Stilton enjoys 'Protected Geographical Status' and MUST be made from local pasteurised milk in either Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire - 'Stilton' is a village in Cambridgeshire, so doesn't qualify.
@@eelsemaj99 As I explained: it's the 'cheddaring process' (the storing & rotating of raw cheeses in high vertical stacks in order to extract the whey from the lower ones,) that determines if a cheese is 'cheddar'. Cheddar from Somerset DOES have protected status, but it has to be "West Country Farmhouse Cheddar," otherwise any Tom, Dick or Harry could overcome the protected status, just by opening up a factory in Somerset. (And the pasty doesn't have protected status unless you want to call it a 'CORNISH' pasty, in which case it has to be made in Cornwall, but anyone anywhere can produce a meat and potato pasty, or a cheese and onion pasty, for instance - providing they don't try to sell it as a 'Cornish Pasty'.
I said the original, and in my opinion as Somerset person, the best Cheddar cheese comes from the Cheddar area in Somerset. I am not denying that the 'Cheddaring' process is now widespread , however the best is still that sourced from its orginal foundation
@@BongEyedBastard Gorgonzola was my father's favourite cheese. When we went to his Mam's house on Sunday for tea, he used to ask, where's my cheese. She used to say, I'll open the fridge door, just whistle it'll come to you.
one of your funniest vids ever! :) keep up the good work ... P.S. how about some A&N merch? tee-shirts with your pic, or slogans? e.g. top slogan "hi everybody, it's me!" ... then your pic, ... then under ... "without further ado..! lol, sorry, im drunk and rambling. bye
I love cheese too, yummy 😊😍 but in Poland we don't have so many different types 😊 so, now definitely I have to come to England and try all of them 😊thanks
That is not the point, that is what you prefer, which is not the same thing. It depends on the context of what you are having it with. i.e. A stronger cheddar goes well with a ploughmans or just cheese and pickle, so you still get the cheese taste in with the pickle. A milder cheddar can be suitable for eating on it's own or with something that doesn't have a strong flavour of it's own, so the cheddar doesn't overpower it.
I agree. Mild cheese is the equivalent of decaffeinated coffee, or firing blanks. What's the point? A good cheddar nearly takes the enamel off your teeth.
@@octaviuswhelkstall4661 It's fair enough to not like or care for the milder cheddars but to question it's point (when reasons have already been given) means you don't really understand cheese in the slightest. By your logic, what's the point of any cheeses aside from strong cheddars? Wallace would be so disappointed. ;-)
I'm a Yorkshireman who's lived in Canada for 38 years. When I go back eating British cheese is one of the things I look forward to. The variety is so much more than we get in Canada, and about a third of the cost. Double Gloucester, Red Leicester, Lancashire, Cheshire love it. I would buy some here but I'd need to take out a loan.
Since you love cheese, how about trying out different relishes and chutneys for cheese for your next eat me video? Bit of Branston pickle, some picalilli, onion relish, a few of the special chutneys. And you could even (although I know from a previous video you have said you would never even consider trying one) eat a pickled onion. They are designed to be eaten alongside cheese and they are so good (or I think so) so maybe you could dare yourself to take a bite out of one?
I think the Taw Valley creamery is in North Tawton, Devon. A long way from Leicester, so I guess the Red Leicester is made in Devon to the Red Leicester recipe.
Getting close to 25 thou shows how much we like your blogs,can't beat a really nice mature cheddar with or without butter mild cheddar is normally to rubbery for me
Brilliant video great fun. Wensdale afternoon cheese with cup of tea. Slice of toast then apply cheese then grill in till cheese is melted nice with Worcester sauce. Cheese and fresh tomato sandwich nice to. Have a go with cheese and jam also Branston pickle and mango chutney. Baked beans with cheese on top nice with toast. Very strong cheddar my favourite too. Wookey hole cheese nice with a good claret. Wookey hole is near Shepton mallet. Out of curiosity are you expecting my wife went through a cheese phase when we were expecting our second child. Great video love your work.
@@AdventuresAndNaps I will spread it far and wide from Lands End to Devonia we are now officially Cornwallians, and our national dish is now the Cornwallianish Pasty 😋😋😋😋😋
If you head south west I suggest you stop off at wookey hole in Somerset. It is a series of caves near the village of cheddar and is where cheddar cheese was first created. They still make really good cheddar in the caves.
One of my favourite starters - you cut a disc about half a inch deep, remove the packaging (a thin layer of black surrounding the pudding). Heat a frying pan with a knob of butter in it, then add the black pudding, for the best results keep pan on a low heat and gently turn pudding over, the pudding will caramelise causing a hardsh extremely moreish start to your starter. Cut a piece of Wensleydale as thick as you like but that completely covers the black pudding (it’s just got to melt a little bit). So you need to grill the cheese 🧀, it won’t do a big melt but by adding the heat it will not crumble as Wensleydale tends to do. You can add 🍅 or fruit like tinned apricots are FANTASTIC with the black pudding also serve with the utterly stunning English mustard by Colman’s. It’s nearly 20 past 12 midnight and could ravage this starter right now, I can see a we trip into the village for black pudding & Wenslydale YUMMY 😋
A tornado destroyed a French cheese factory. All that was left was de brie.
Brick First lmfao. So bad but so good
bloody beautiful
They'll have to go more 'Caerphilly next time'. I cant camembert these jokes - haha
It was later revealed that the tornado was fake news and everything was all Gouda.
Don't give up your day job just yet haha!

I was walking down a street once, and some young lads assaulted me by throwing slices of cheddar at me. I thought "That's not very mature is it"
Bunch of Muensters throwing cheese at you? Sounds pretty bad any way you slice it. Not a Gouda situation.
Edam well ought to have reported it to the police.
Except if it was "mature" cheese.
Well I'll be edam-nd
Please stop. I camembert any more
I love these videos. I mainly watch stuff that are all about my own interests. You're the only person I've sat and watched eat cheeses, you make these simple things entertaining! Keep them coming! I'll keep watching!

Happy coincidence I think but funny nonetheless :)
It was a joke!!
@@AdventuresAndNaps So you know of the "Alleged" very close relationship the Welsh have with their sheep?
@@AdventuresAndNaps I think you stepped on a bit of a landmine there, Alanna...
You should really of used goats with goats cheese! But funny anyway!

Nearly 25,000 subscribers - Alanna you're definitely doing something right!

The crunch in the cheddar is from the calcium lactate crystals, they form naturally in extra mature cheese and and are perfectly safe and in a lot of cases even desirable :)

With some scrumpy and lardy cake.
Cheddar from cheddar is honestly so much better than other cheddars 😋 🤤
I love how real this video is.
Okay, now I know what I'm having for tea. Smoked applewood melted on toast with a good dollop of red onion marmalade.

Or even sometimes use Digestive Biscuits instead of Crackers its lush
Digestive, Cream Cheese and Jam ... it's like a mini cheesecake :D.
I like Tesco low fat digestives with cheese.
Vintage unpasteurised cheddar on a digestive. Yum 😀

Cant believe you didnt milk your own cows and churn your own home made butter. Ugh, how can you expect to understand butter?!?
NICE VLOG!!!😍
Uks favourite goats cheeses are Valençay cheese, Banon wrapped in chestnut leaves, Bucheron,chabichou, Crottin de chavignol,Garrotxa 🧀!!! So try it....will feel delicious!!!👍
Have a great time with trying British cheese there are 700 different kinds of them
I always assumed you presented to a static camera, but it is clear from biscuitgate that you have an actual human camera operator. A big round applause to him or her for their commitment over the last 3 years. They have witnessed a lot of eating and drinking. I hope they get to have the leftovers!
Real original Cheddar cheese can only come from Cheddar, which is a village in Somerset in the west country
Except that's not the case, except for "West Country Farmhouse Cheddar" - though Cheddar was originally made in Somerset, 'Cheddaring' has become the name of a specific method of making cheese, and any cheese made by that method qualifies as Cheddar cheese, though I agree that no other Cheddar comes close to a good vintage extra mature English cheddar.
'Regional' names for English cheeses aren't always regional: specifically, Blue Stilton cheese is never made in Stilton, and wouldn't qualify as a true Stilton even if it was. Like "West Country Farmhouse Cheddar", Blue Stilton enjoys 'Protected Geographical Status' and MUST be made from local pasteurised milk in either Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire - 'Stilton' is a village in Cambridgeshire, so doesn't qualify.
Dave Bartlett I don’t see why cheddar can’t have protected status like other cheeses and other widely eaten food like the pasty
@@eelsemaj99 As I explained: it's the 'cheddaring process' (the storing & rotating of raw cheeses in high vertical stacks in order to extract the whey from the lower ones,) that determines if a cheese is 'cheddar'. Cheddar from Somerset DOES have protected status, but it has to be "West Country Farmhouse Cheddar," otherwise any Tom, Dick or Harry could overcome the protected status, just by opening up a factory in Somerset. (And the pasty doesn't have protected status unless you want to call it a 'CORNISH' pasty, in which case it has to be made in Cornwall, but anyone anywhere can produce a meat and potato pasty, or a cheese and onion pasty, for instance - providing they don't try to sell it as a 'Cornish Pasty'.
Dave Bartlett regarding the pasty- I didn’t know that and I am sort of glad as from my position in Devon I do not regard a pasty as Cornish
I said the original, and in my opinion as Somerset person, the best Cheddar cheese comes from the Cheddar area in Somerset. I am not denying that the 'Cheddaring' process is now widespread , however the best is still that sourced from its orginal foundation
As always, the _Eat This_ series never fails to entertain. Maybe you could try a few cake slices from the Mr Kipling range in a future episode?
Would be interested in your thoughts on Blue Stilton. It sorts your mere cheese enthusiast from the cheese aficionado.
I was wondering where the Stilton was myself, the king of cheese.
Love blue cheese. Dolce Latte and Gorgonzola.
or Blue Gloucester
@@BongEyedBastard Gorgonzola was my father's favourite cheese. When we went to his Mam's house on Sunday for tea, he used to ask, where's my cheese. She used to say, I'll open the fridge door, just whistle it'll come to you.
Yes I put butter on before my cheese.. and a knob of red Leicester or double Gloucester .yum
one of your funniest vids ever! :) keep up the good work ... P.S. how about some A&N merch? tee-shirts with your pic, or slogans?
e.g. top slogan "hi everybody, it's me!" ... then your pic, ... then under ... "without further ado..!
lol, sorry, im drunk and rambling. bye
I love cheese too, yummy 😊😍 but in Poland we don't have so many different types 😊 so, now definitely I have to come to England and try all of them 😊thanks
I can never fathom the reasoning to eat a mild cheddar.. the point of a cheddar is to have a strong flavour.
That is not the point, that is what you prefer, which is not the same thing.
It depends on the context of what you are having it with. i.e. A stronger cheddar goes well with a ploughmans or just cheese and pickle, so you still get the cheese taste in with the pickle. A milder cheddar can be suitable for eating on it's own or with something that doesn't have a strong flavour of it's own, so the cheddar doesn't overpower it.
Depends what you’re having it with, if with other subtle favours you don’t want it to drown out the other tastes.
I agree. Mild cheese is the equivalent of decaffeinated coffee, or firing blanks.
What's the point?
A good cheddar nearly takes the enamel off your teeth.
Octavius Whelkstall Some people are intolerant to high levels of caffeine so drinking decaf would be the way to go.
@@octaviuswhelkstall4661 It's fair enough to not like or care for the milder cheddars but to question it's point (when reasons have already been given) means you don't really understand cheese in the slightest. By your logic, what's the point of any cheeses aside from strong cheddars? Wallace would be so disappointed. ;-)
I'm a Yorkshireman who's lived in Canada for 38 years. When I go back eating British cheese is one of the things I look forward to. The variety is so much more than we get in Canada, and about a third of the cost. Double Gloucester, Red Leicester, Lancashire, Cheshire love it. I would buy some here but I'd need to take out a loan.
Since you love cheese, how about trying out different relishes and chutneys for cheese for your next eat me video? Bit of Branston pickle, some picalilli, onion relish, a few of the special chutneys. And you could even (although I know from a previous video you have said you would never even consider trying one) eat a pickled onion. They are designed to be eaten alongside cheese and they are so good (or I think so) so maybe you could dare yourself to take a bite out of one?
Top idea. Not mad on piccalilli but thinly sliced pickled onions on a nice unpasteurised cheddar.
Chilli jam and quince cheese are also good pairings.
I think the Taw Valley creamery is in North Tawton, Devon. A long way from Leicester, so I guess the Red Leicester is made in Devon to the Red Leicester recipe.
Windshear33 That's what I thought as well. I grew up 3 miles from North Tawton. So we would often drive past the creamery/ factory.
Love the video. I'm from Yorkshire and my favourite way to eat wensleydale is on a slice of Christmas cake 😁
Paul - totally agree. It's a Yorkshire tradition. Nice with a good fino sherry.
I'm from Yorkshire too. Stop telling her weird things!!
I've never tried that and I must.
Or with a slice of Parkin (moist ginger cake).
Getting close to 25 thou shows how much we like your blogs,can't beat a really nice mature cheddar with or without butter mild cheddar is normally to rubbery for me
Abergavenny... You pronounced it perfectly.. 😂😂
Mae e'n tynnu dy goes di / He's pulling your leg, Alanna! :)
Good try for a novice
Abber-ga-VENN-ee, with the emphasis on the third syllable. Handy hint: check out the song "Abergavenny" by Marty Wilde; it's here on UA-cam.
I enjoyed this video a lot, thank you!
This video just made me hungry. And made me sad. Because lactose intolerance sucks. RIP me eating cheese 1998-2016
My thoughts are with you.
@@AdventuresAndNaps I appreciate your thoughts but they will never be cheese
Brilliant video great fun. Wensdale afternoon cheese with cup of tea. Slice of toast then apply cheese then grill in till cheese is melted nice with Worcester sauce. Cheese and fresh tomato sandwich nice to. Have a go with cheese and jam also Branston pickle and mango chutney. Baked beans with cheese on top nice with toast. Very strong cheddar my favourite too. Wookey hole cheese nice with a good claret. Wookey hole is near Shepton mallet. Out of curiosity are you expecting my wife went through a cheese phase when we were expecting our second child. Great video love your work.
I burst out laughing at Cornwallians! As I'm sure you've already been told 10 times, they're cornish haha
Yes, as a Cornwallian person we are definitly Cornish 😂
You have to admit Cornwallians is a great name. Should be the new name!
@@AdventuresAndNaps It is! On a related note, why aren't Canadians from Canadia? :)
@@AdventuresAndNaps I will spread it far and wide from Lands End to Devonia we are now officially Cornwallians, and our national dish is now the Cornwallianish Pasty 😋😋😋😋😋
shout out to all the Cornish on here! Onen hag oll 👍🏼
If you head south west I suggest you stop off at wookey hole in Somerset. It is a series of caves near the village of cheddar and is where cheddar cheese was first created. They still make really good cheddar in the caves.
I was looking at those grapes the whole time
Have to have grapes with cheese!
Adventures and Naps More like Branston pickle 😉 (not sure if you’ve heard of that)
@@AdventuresAndNaps Yes you do.
I was staring at her chest the whole time
Sparkes91 Smooth
One of my favourite starters - you cut a disc about half a inch deep, remove the packaging (a thin layer of black surrounding the pudding). Heat a frying pan with a knob of butter in it, then add the black pudding, for the best results keep pan on a low heat and gently turn pudding over, the pudding will caramelise causing a hardsh extremely moreish start to your starter. Cut a piece of Wensleydale as thick as you like but that completely covers the black pudding (it’s just got to melt a little bit). So you need to grill the cheese 🧀, it won’t do a big melt but by adding the heat it will not crumble as Wensleydale tends to do. You can add 🍅 or fruit like tinned apricots are FANTASTIC with the black pudding also serve with the utterly stunning English mustard by Colman’s. It’s nearly 20 past 12 midnight and could ravage this starter right now, I can see a we trip into the village for black pudding & Wenslydale YUMMY 😋
