Oddest cheese flavour I have ever tasted!

[onyx39]

The Mrs and I popped into Morrison's in Bracknell to pick up a couple of bits tonight, saw a sign on the deli counter selling " Toffee Apple Flavoured Cheese"... Hmm I thought, I like cheese, and I live toffee apple, but not sure if "sweet" cheese would work. I asked for a piece to try (the fact that the catering pack had to be opened for our tasting should have given a clue)... I did not expect it would work, but figured, Heston has made some really odd flavour combo's over the years, maybe I would be surprised. I wasn't. It was disgusting! Don't go there people....

try Gjetost, probably the strangest cheese i've ever had. Tastes somewhere between condensed milk and caramel.

Been there, done that. I found it was delicious. Got it from Anthony's Piazza in Leeds.

Norwegian Jarlsberg....yuk.

Venezuelan Beaver cheese, perhaps?

Try the German 'Harzer' cheese. Fook me it's horrible.

It's less than 1% fat and therefore popular with dieters / the bodybuilding community.

Frankly I'd rather eat what's underneath my toenails, since this smells and looks more appetising.

I'm a big fan of cheese and will generally scoff any offered even if the taste isn't quite to my liking but I was beaten by one on a cheese board in north Wales. Unfortunately I've also blocked the name of it out of my memory, it tasted like cow muck smells.

I did fulfil an ambition a year or so ago though when I bought a whole cheese



I miss having the dairy as a customer

They do a child's spreadable version called 'Prim' my 2 year old loves the stuff, it can only be described as caramac spread. First bite is heaven, the next is revolting.

Rum and raisin cheddar. Basically sharp cheddar studded with raisins and a horrible artificial rum flavouring added.

Makes a nice cheese sauce though.
