Look, I’m really not trying to be difficult, or unpatriotic. It’s just that things have got out of hand. It’s time to wield the simple cheese-knife of truth and poke two little triangular holes in the firm, waxy, slightly moist underbelly of the British Cheese Conspiracy. I should explain. There was a time when British cheese meant cheddar; Stilton, at Christmas; Wensleydale or Lancashire if your palate yearned after the crumbly; Red Leicester if you wanted a daring marbled effect on your cauliflower cheese and, er, that’s it. One had to foray across the Channel for decent cheese, as for most gastronomic delights. |
