A few weeks ago when we went to top up our supply of one of
the most wonderful cheeses in the world, ever;
Davidstow Cornish Crackler, we found, to our horror, that the price had gone up
somewhat.
"In the current financial climate" this was not good news and I am ashamed to say that we chickened out and bought a cheaper cheese. We haven't eaten it though!

A couple of days ago feeling sad and cheese-less we invested
in the real thing and am so glad to welcome it back to our home, our hearts and
our palates. Never again will I put
petty considerations such as having no money before the morality of cheese.
What's so good about it you may ask, if you've never tried
it. Well ...
~ A good strong complex
delicious real Cheddar flavour,
~ A wonderful crumbly texture which not only makes it ideal for cooking with, as it melts very well, but also comes with a bonus; you absolutely have to have a Cook's Treat of the crumbs whilst preparing a meal and may I suggest a Chef's Coffee with that?
~ It is not only
British and English it is Cornish so for me it is also local produce too for
which, as you know, one gets brownie points.~ A wonderful crumbly texture which not only makes it ideal for cooking with, as it melts very well, but also comes with a bonus; you absolutely have to have a Cook's Treat of the crumbs whilst preparing a meal and may I suggest a Chef's Coffee with that?
~ This is the best thing - throughout the cheese are tiny salty crunchy nuggets of what I believe to be protein crystals but whatever they are - gorgeous!
Anyhoo - if you like cheese you'll love this, Gromit.

I'm afraid I haven't done any cooking with Crackler recently, just nibbled on it and grinned. However see ...
