Red Leicester

Ah, the woes of the heart continue. Fortuitously, cheese is the pillow of the heart so I'll be OK, mostly!

It's quite a nice cheese, not 100 miles away from Cheddar actually with a deep red colour and very slightly nutty flavour. I am dissappointed to learn that the colour comes not from an intense hallucinegen but in fact from Annatto. Obviously. Though looking at the Wikipedia picture it could well have those properties.

Well, I did dream. I was in a night club. I don't remember what music was playing, but then suddenly Rage Against the Machine comes on and my work mate comes leaping in and head banging like crazy. Which I guess is fine but he's a Carpenters fan. Anyway, that's it. I can't really pick out any useful meanings from this sadly, which is a shame as I could use a few pointers in life right now!

Ah well, I shall have to make my own way without the benefit of cheesey wisdom.

So, although a memorable dream, not much to be gleened from it. So I would say Red Leicester gets...

4/10

Halloumi

Why has there been no cheese blog for so long I hear you ask?

Well, halloumi to explain...

Ahahahaha I'm so funny.

SO halloumi, in case you don't know, is the closest thing to plastic you could ever eat. It's like really, really salty plastic. I think they use it for window wipers, judging by the sound it makes when you slice it. Once you've sliced it (I would recommend fairly thick slices) you grill the sucker, or bbq it if you can - that's best. Once it's a lovely golden brown on both sides you eat it. Make sure you eat it hot! MMMmmm. You don't need to eat it with anything, although typically I find I have it with large amounts of meat. Probably red wine. Maybe some olives. Actually no. Definitely have it with olives.

Anyway, it's quite delicious of course. I ate loads. Certainly more than the 50g quota.

However..



I didn't have any dreams.

So:

It tastes nice so 0 seemed a bit harsh
