Hi Lesley! Wonderful suggestion, thank you! When chutney comes to mind, we have this automatic association of cheese and breads (we need to break that habit!) :) Hope you have a great weekend and Happy Friday!
Hi Neal, Happy Friday! You're making us hungry, and we just finished dinner! :D You're giving us lunch ideas for tomorrow, thank you! :) Hope you have a great weekend :)
Hi both, some chutney you can put in sandwich's ,then you can get Moore us out of the Chutney. Or as a an compliment with coldmeats and salads. I am going to look for the m&s sea salt and black pepper .Take care and all the best. 😄😄😊😊👍👍👍🐶
HI Kudapooda, Happy Friday! Love the idea of having it in a sandwich, the idea of it with coldmeats really has my curiosity, thank you for that :) Thank you for watching and hope you have a great weekend!
Hello to you both! Orkney cheddar is really top notch, glad you could find it. I would love to be able to nip down to the cheese shop and grab a good chunk of 10 different fresh cheese's, and send them to you, alas not do-able but if it was I reckon the video would be over an hour long. Fresh baked crusty bread, crackers, loads of cheese and umpteen different chutneys, (also pickled shallots - oh boy, I used to eat half the jar of them on their own. Home made by my Mum .) Looking forward to the next one. Stay well & safe both of you.
Hi Jeff! Agree 100%, we really enjoyed the Orkney cheddar. Can't wait to to try it with other condiments, cheese toasties, and more. We appreciate the thought on the 10 different cheeses, and you're right, it would be a long video :) The pickled shallots sound delicious :) Thank you and hope you have a great weekend and a Happy Friday! :)
I think you're taking it too literally when using the chutney and which cheese to use, just try anything you want and you'll find your favourite, I did enjoy this video and I can tell you I was hungry, by the way I haven't tried rhubarb and date so I'm glad you've tried it and I can get some now and I think the tomato chutney is lovely, I don't know about the pear but I'd like a brown ale chutney, have a nice weekend you two.
Hi Michael, Happy Friday! We're looking forward to experimenting with it such as with meats, in sandwiches, cheese toasties, etc. If you do try the rhubarb and date, please let us know what you think. Love the tomato chutney, wonderful flavour. Hope you have a great weekend and thank you for watching :)
Bought a packet of Carrs cheese melt crackers for the first time this week. They are really good, they have a melt in the mouth texture, even good on their own straight out of the packet. Richard has good taste.
There's nothing better imo than cheese and crackers....except perhaps cheese and crackers topped with chutney! I've had those crackers before, and similar chutneys, but not those specifically. We have so many different combos available here. Chutney is good with cold meats and salads, obviously with cheese, and in sandwiches, both un/toasted. Hope you're all well and still safe from the smoke/fires. We're having a heatwave this week. It's been 29°c here today. It won't last 😅. Have a great weekend and keep cool. 😊
Hi Agranda, how do you use chutneys in a salad? We can definitely see it with meats and we need to try it in a sandwich. Ahh, 29C would be pleasant here. We hit 41C today. We recently had the hottest 20 day stretch in history for our area. Ugh. We're looking forward to fall/autumn!
@@FinnLovesFood oh my goodness! And I thought it was sweltering here. That heat sounds horrendous, but as we've mentioned before, you're so much better geared up for it with your air-con at home and in stores. Phew, even so. 😅 If you've heard of a Ploughman's lunch, that's how I'd use a spoonful of chutney on the side of your plate with cold meats, cheese, a small salad, crusty bread etc. Similarly, there's no reason why you can't enjoy it as an accompaniment to hot meats, pies, pasties too. Enjoy! You've plenty to experiment with there!!
@@agranda6379 I don't know what we'd do without air-con, though our parents survived in this area without it! During the hottest days it was having trouble keeping up. We keep our thermostat set at 25.5c. A lot of people keep theirs cooler, but that's what is recommended for energy savings. The air con was running non-stop and it wouldn't get any cooler than 27c in the house! Sometimes stores are too cold for me then it's a shock to go outside. We did a Ploughman's lunch video a while ago (that's my kind of lunch). Hope things are cooling down for you!
Hello peeps 👋🏻👋🏻 Yummmm….. that looked tasty and yummy! Well, as you may already know, the origin of chutney is from India as a way of preserving foods in hot pickles and spices and the British - in the days of the Raj - also loved it and as a result, we stole the idea from them and brought it back home! 👍🏻🥺 (like a lot of the ‘borrowed’ items in our museums etc … the shame…😂😂) If you want to have a more rounded and substantial lunch time meal - this I what I done for family and visitors - and it has been very popular (👏🏻👏🏻me!). A change from the tired old “sammo”! If you can get hold of mini pittas (rather than the full sized ones) or what we have over here, a “sandwich thin” (basically a flattened slice of bread and no crusts!) …you would need two slices ☺️ Collect the food items together what you want to go inside or on top - for me, I would choose either grated cheddar, feta cheese, mozarella etc ..chopped spring onions, tomato slices and the chutney of choice - I like the Tommy one and orchard fruits. If the pitta bread is still complete, slice it open so it can be filled, then carefully toast either the pitta or the sandwich thin until is it just crispy but not proper “toast brown” …whilst the pitta/thin is still warm, layer on one side, a portion of the cheese - hopefully it will go a bit melty ….then splodge on a layer of chutney…then bit more cheese (and more chutney if you fancy!) sprinkle the onions and tommies on the top, close the pitta bread up or put the other slice of thin and flatten them together….a glass of fresh fruit juice (some crisps?) - sorted! When I tried some feta cheese and chutney on a pitta, I could “almost” have been in Greece as I was eating it! 😲. Next time Imake one, I am going to have some tzatziki on the side and play some bouzouki music 😂😂. Today, we have the Greek weather - for us, it’s “boiling” out there! the Of course, you can add what you like really to your pittas etc - just enjoy a little bit of the good old Branston variants, if you can find them in your superstore!
We typically find mango chutney in our small section of Indian food in supermarkets. I think there may be another flavor chutney, but not much variety! We do have some Indian grocery stores in another part of our city. We'll have to check them out some time. Your creations sound very good. I'm trying to recall if I've seen the mini pittas. I'll have to check next time we're at the store.
Hello @Weedle30 I know what you mean regarding Feta, I love English cheeses but when in Greece going down to the local shop and getting a lump of fresh Feta out of a bucket of water and a bag of fresh Kalamata olives just in from the next island, some fresh Oregano & basil with home made Tzatziki, I can just snack on that all day. Not so sure about the weather though lol!. Have a nice weekend.
@@FinnLovesFood I add a large dollop of mango chutney to coconut milk and/or natural yogurt, curry powder, chicken, chicken stock and fried onions to make a quick curry. It really adds a welcome sweetness and that extra zing!
I'm in the UK, one of my favourites is Lincolnshire Poacher. It's a bit firmer than a typical cheddar and a bit sweeter with a more nutty flavour. Definitely recommend if you can find it!
Hope Finn got some 🤭 I don't like chutneys or pickle but I love cheese n crackers (with butter) and I always make loads so I can share with my little zoo lol
Hi Tina and Ross great video hope you’re both well my favourite cheese at the moment is cheddar with pickled onion and chives really tasty but really crumbly I think Tesco is the only one that sells it I love original branston pickle but it makes my sister feel ill it’s the smell apparently aww bless her have a great weekend and take care x
@@nealgrimes4382 I wish Lancashire cheese was more widely available here. One summer Trader Joe's had it, but haven't seen it since. We've only found Wensleydale with fruit in it.
Do you feel your pallettes have changed since you started making these videos. So many Americans struggle with marmite, branston pickle etc but feel more you eat more you can enjoy things sometimes. Feel a lot of americans savoury taste buds just get a huge shock.
I'm not sure if they have changed much as we're very open to trying new tastes and flavors. I also find that I can binge more on savory items than sweet! Though after trying Cadbury and other chocolates on the channel, I think we are more picky about the chocolate we consume.
Fair point. Its refreshing to see you try so many savoury snacks as many videos its all about the sweet. I prefer cheese and biccies over a sweet desert so love watching your love of cheese.
@@samtrinity-iq1jp I love trying different cheeses and always have a variety on hand. I do have to admit that I always need a British Cheddar in the fridge! We have more savory coming tomorrow with a Marmite snack video.
Those chutneys would go nicely with a thick slice of gammon too
Hi Lesley! Wonderful suggestion, thank you! When chutney comes to mind, we have this automatic association of cheese and breads (we need to break that habit!) :) Hope you have a great weekend and Happy Friday!
I can confirm Chutney on a Hot Cheese Toastie is really good.

Ok now I’m starving! I have those same crackers, they are very nice. Not tried that chutney before though, it might go nice on a burger. 😁
Hadn't thought of putting it on a burger. Thanks for the idea!
@@FinnLovesFood You’re very welcome 😊
Your videos always relax me and make me hungry 😅
😁 We love to snack while relaxing!

Thanks Vanessa. That cheese sounds good. We've had cheese with onion and chives, but I don't recall ever seeing pickled onion. Enjoy your weekend!
Ooooh carrs oatcakes with cheddar. Marmite has to go on them. Xx
We love Marmite, but still haven't tried spreading it on cheese with a cracker. We must change that!
Awh, the cheese is probably the one thing you didn't want to be American. Glad you enjoyed though guys
We did have one cheese from Scotland! Though actually, the cheese from Marin French Cheese Co is very good - American artisan cheese.
You should watch Wallace and Gromit, Wallace does like a nice slice of cheese😁
Wensleydale.
@@nealgrimes4382 Cracking cheese!
@@Temeraire101 It is good but as i'm from Lancashire i'm obliged to say Lancashire Cheese is better.
We've seen some episodes. Can definitely relate to Wallace! 🙂
