    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!

    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!

    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 .

    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.

    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?

    Real original Cheddar cheese can only come from Cheddar, which is a village in Somerset in the west country

    • @DaveBartlett
      @DaveBartlett 6 лет назад +3

      Except that's not the case, except for "West Country Farmhouse Cheddar" - though Cheddar was originally made in Somerset, 'Cheddaring' has become the name of a specific method of making cheese, and any cheese made by that method qualifies as Cheddar cheese, though I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

      Dave Bartlett I don’t see why cheddar can’t have protected status like other cheeses and other widely eaten food like the pasty

    • @DaveBartlett
      @DaveBartlett 6 лет назад

      @@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'.

    • @eelsemaj99

      @trevischiles 6 лет назад

      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

      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.
