Cheesy tip

The greatest cheese on earth has been discovered. It was previously believed to be, a still strong runner up, creamy gorgonzola, but this new entrant is the true holder of the title.

I give you:

Couer de Lion, Pié d' Angloys.

Which I am informed, and my French confirms (ish) means "feet of the English".

Heaven in a circular box.

It tells me on said circular box:

"Created by Cistercian Monks in the 14th century, Pié d'Angloys is an important part of French gastronomic tradition. Creamy and full bodied with a hint of honey, this unique cheese is a great addition to a cheeseboard or simply served with crusty bread"

Yum. In actual fact it tastes like a most palatable marriage of Brie and Dairylea. Yumptious.

Unlike most champion cheeses, this is not expensive and is available in the supermarket. Huzzah for magnificent cheeses and the discovery thereof!!

I like cheese.

On the East Coast train you can get a cheese and ham panini which contains some gorgonzola and has wallace + gromit on the label.

I also discovered this cheese recently and totally agree with you. Genoius in a small box. M&S also do their own version at the same price as the Couer De Lion Brand
