- Comment from author about the poem: When MILK (cow ~ goat ~ sheep etc) curdles and the curd is filtered and pressed (to remove excess whey ~ cheese is formed ! Because cheese is such a "natural" product it has been known and used as a food for thousands of years. My Grandparents told me that during WW2 (1939 ~ 45) sour milk was always filtered and converted into "Cottage Cheese". Cheese is rich in CALCIUM (for bones) and FAT (for energy). Americans ~ when they visit the UK ~ are amazed at the taste and range of British Cheeses (there are over 700 varieties !) and the variety of texture. The average UK household would have about 5 types of cheese. In my opinion the best British Cheese is STILTON (from Melton Mowbray in England) ~ tangy and creamy ! It is a must at Christmas ~ served with biscuits port and grapes ~ but is an essential cheese all year round. Delicatessens stock 50 or more varieties of Cheese (many are British) so we have no excuse for not trying them. Cheese please Louise ! Comments welcome ~ Love to all BRIAN ~ XOX

A tasty write B!
Thanks STEVEN ~ nothing like a slice of Stilton (and a drop of port) to complete fin dining ! BRIAN
We don't have great cheeses in the USA. Store shelves are filled with tasteless wedges that look like cheese and pre shredded varieties that have the consistency of rubber.
We do have imports at prohibitive prices. Nor do we have great breads. Wine, bread and cheese is awesome.
Thanks \"A\" ~ I idid not want to be too derogatory about US Cheese ~ BUT ~ Cheese I have tried in the US is US and tastes as though it has been manufactured by DU PONT rather than KRAFT ! Europe also has thousands of varieties of cheese and being so close they are similar in price to UK cheeses ~ it s the same with European Wines. BREXIT won\'t make much difference because \"trade is trade\" and we are a Nation f Shopkeepers ! BRIAN
It's super brain
Thanks RAJ ~ Pleased you enjoyed it ~ BRIAN
We are blessed in the UK with some great cheeses - to hell with the cholesterol - where's the pickle? Your poem makes my mouth water. We had a tomato, onion and haloumi salad dressed with quality olive oil, seasoning, balsamic and thyme to accompany our lunch today - sublime!!
Thanks Michael ~ I knew you would be a FROMAGGIO ! Pickle is a whole new subject and I checked I have five varieties in my cupboard ~ all superb with CHEESE. I figure that If JESUS comes back to Earth and ends up in KESWICK (in th Summer) rather than JERUSALEM ~ he would stay forever and not bother going back to Heaven ~ AMEN ! BRIAN
Tasty write my friend
THANKS TONY ~ BRITISH Ladies and BRITISH Cheeses ~ are the tastiest in the WORLD ~ BRIAN
Welcome
Forget wine tasting, I'd like to go to a cheese tasting event! Sounds like a delicious write! I agree with Augustus, our prepackaged cheese is like rubber. Gotta go stop off at the local farms to get the good stuff. Hugs! Christina
HI CHRIS ~ thanks for reminding me that you can find "Traditional Farmhouse Cheeses" in the US. I found the AMISH MILD CREAMY CHEESE in Philidelphia ~ BEAUTIFUL ! A Loaf of Bread ~ A glass of Wine ~ A wedge of Cheese and Thou ! What more could one ask. In the UK we have lots of Cheese & Wine Parties which are always great fun ! Party Hugs ~ BRIAN
So many cheeses, so many wines, so little time but we have to try do we not?
