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
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.
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.
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 RUclips 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.
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!
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.
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!
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 😃
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
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!
If you love cheese you should try Black bomber from the Snowdonia cheese company. its my favourite cheddar, its a mature creamy cheddar. Its fairly readily available now - you can get it in sainsburys/waitrose or online. You may also find it in independent deli's.
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 🙌🤚.
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! :)
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.
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
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 :)
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 .
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!!
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 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.
"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 :)
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
haha this was brilliant! I love cheese too. My better half works in a deli and we get loads of awesome cheeses, go to a deli near you and ask them to cut you some little bits of their best cheeses, you will be blown away im sure.
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?
You’ll get yourself a reputation you carry on these eating vids 😂. Love the vids anyway, nice to see somebody come over from another country & embrace our food culture & be willing to try anything & everything that she can eat, regardless how much us Brits like or dislike it
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
"I never say 'No' to cheese." - that's my kinda lass, love it. Haven't been through all the comments but sure I'll not be the only one surprised that you didn't include Stilton in your taste test. I am a fellow cheese lover and Stilton is my favourite cheese on the planet by some distance. Treat yourself to a nice wedge and half an hour to savour it. 👍
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!
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
I have butter on crackers if I have no cheese, but not both at the same time. Good range of cheeses. I'd loled at the slight mishap with the unpacking. :) very professional to continue on.
@@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.
Yeeeeesss butter on it's own on crackers or with cheese :) Or if not butter then some sort of Chutney or pickle, or even tomato puree. I also love butter on digestive biscuits, or the hovis ones :) Oh and I tell you what is reallly good: Boursin cheese with sweet chill chutney on a cracker - divine!
@@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 😋😋😋😋😋
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. ;-)
LOL sorry but I burst out laughing when I saw the biscuits hit the floor as it's the kinda thing I'd do! Gotta say, best one for me is butter on digestives with mature cheese; I can actually feel my arteries filling up but it makes me happy, so who cares? Were the grapes on your desk just a tease as I was waiting for you to review grapes and cheese; together they're just heavenly. Thanks Alana, as usual a great entertaining watch :)
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
I'm still upset about the puddings, and moderately annoyed by your single knife for multiple cheese situation you've got going on. But you're still one of my favourites :)
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.
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!
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 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
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.
Says all the nice things about Wales then scores them in sheep 😂😂
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!

OMG: you've started a teabag war, and teabags *haven't even been mentioned in the video!*
There's only one way to settle this...
FIGHT!
I support the PG brotherhood.
Tea-bags? Bags? You heathen
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 RUclips 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.

Glad to see you are picking up a lovely British dry sense of humour along with your wonderful Canadian demeanour. Great vid!

Yes, originally from Jersey. Mmm...creamy butter. We rule the butter world. Apparently.

Hello Alana, I like your videos. You're infectious and so refreshing. Please keep the videos coming.
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 😃
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
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!
Nearly 25,000 subscribers - Alanna you're definitely doing something right!
I once saw a guy in a supermarket throwing that much cheese at people. I just thought how dairy.
Not a gouda situation, for sure.
Edam well ought to stop.
If you love cheese you should try Black bomber from the Snowdonia cheese company. its my favourite cheddar, its a mature creamy cheddar. Its fairly readily available now - you can get it in sainsburys/waitrose or online. You may also find it in independent deli's.
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 🙌🤚.
Okay, now I know what I'm having for tea. Smoked applewood melted on toast with a good dollop of red onion marmalade.
Extra mature smoked applewood from Waitrose is my favourite.
'cheese is my favourite food group' lol, same! XD Love it.
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! :)
Ey I'm from Jersey, glad you enjoy our island so much
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.
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
Cant believe you didnt milk your own cows and churn your own home made butter. Ugh, how can you expect to understand butter?!?
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 :)
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.
very funny - not sure how I found this channel but the content is brilliant - nice work - I mean a whole you tube video on cheese - inspired !!
Dammit, I can only like this once. You're so very funny! 😁

Defo need a trip to cheddar gorge. It's a beautiful place with a massive underground cave network and phenomenal cheese too!!
With some scrumpy and lardy cake.
Cheddar from cheddar is honestly so much better than other cheddars 😋 🤤
Keep your rating scale - it’s genius.

Definitely I was going to suggest that but you beat me to it. 😊👍.
Stinking Bishop? That's just evil...
I concur. 😈
Or Shropshire Blue...like chewing on vomit filled 2 day old socks x
Blue Swaledale...Delicious!
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
Now I'm hungry, All that is missing is a nice glass of port.
You misspelled bottle.
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?
For some reason, surprisingly, every cheese tasted like carpet.

Kent municipal office carpet no less
Why would you make carpet out of cheese?

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 😀
I'd suggest that a Ginger Nut biscuit complements any mature Cheddar & also a mature Gouda too.

Haven't been through all the comments but sure I'll not be the only one surprised that you didn't include Stilton in your taste test. I am a fellow cheese lover and Stilton is my favourite cheese on the planet by some distance. Treat yourself to a nice wedge and half an hour to savour it. 👍
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!
Billiam knows what's up - Wensleydale and cranberry is ace!
Not tried it Ray, but I surely will! 😊👍
Have you tried toasted cheddar with chilli sauce?
When you go for Cheddar it has to be as mature as you can find. However when you’re in the mood I do love a bit of Wensleydale
Wensleydale is best served with a slab of fruit cake.
My father was British loved his cheese we often did cheese tasting, it was my favourite father's day gift for him.
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 RUclips.
These vids get better every week! And I've just spent the last couple mins in stitches over your Instagram story. #getyourmerch
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
I have butter on crackers if I have no cheese, but not both at the same time. Good range of cheeses. I'd loled at the slight mishap with the unpacking. :) very professional to continue on.
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.
Yeeeeesss butter on it's own on crackers or with cheese :) Or if not butter then some sort of Chutney or pickle, or even tomato puree. I also love butter on digestive biscuits, or the hovis ones :)
Oh and I tell you what is reallly good: Boursin cheese with sweet chill chutney on a cracker - divine!
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 👍🏼
Here in Cornwall our cheese is the best and i live 9 miles away from the Davidstow cheese factory, love your videos and the entertainment you bring.
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
Love it, and the cheesy comparisons, brilliant.
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. ;-)
LOL sorry but I burst out laughing when I saw the biscuits hit the floor as it's the kinda thing I'd do! Gotta say, best one for me is butter on digestives with mature cheese; I can actually feel my arteries filling up but it makes me happy, so who cares? Were the grapes on your desk just a tease as I was waiting for you to review grapes and cheese; together they're just heavenly. Thanks Alana, as usual a great entertaining watch :)
If you do a video of petting kittens, a percentage of the internet will be mad at you. You be you and keep up the excellent work.
kittens are vile creatures, only pet puppies.
This is true. I have seen this happen.
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
Cheeeeeese Gromit
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!!!👍
I'm still upset about the puddings, and moderately annoyed by your single knife for multiple cheese situation you've got going on. But you're still one of my favourites :)
Want to be properly upset? Look up the origin of the word pudding! Only black pudding is close to the original!
Leicester viewer here! Don't go to the city its a dump lol. The surrounding Charnwood forest is where its at. Beautiful scenery.
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

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.
