jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Thu Oct 27, 2016 9:11 pm

West Yorkshire Clarets require your help: No other cheeses count...which one of the two is superior?

Sounds like a good night

Got to be tasty-especially melted on toast.

tybfc · Post by **tybfc** » Thu Oct 27, 2016 9:16 pm

Crumbly all day long and don't go nicking it

Really tough for me that. In fact I bought both earlier today. Cheese and pickled onion sandwich: tasty. Cheese on toast: crumbly.

Completely depends. Had to go for my old friend crumbly on this one. My father wouldn't be proud.

Crumbly

No creamy option?!

Do you discuss football?

Discuss Ansari about to make his debut replacing Batty in tomorrow's test match.

CleggHall · Post by **CleggHall** » Thu Oct 27, 2016 9:43 pm

Tough on Batty losing his place to Ansari, his younger Surrey team-mate. Batty got 4 wickets in the 1st test and had a degree of control that Rashid lacked. Cook wouldn't bowl Moeen in the 3rd session, 4th day, and seems to have little faith in any spin bowler but Batty can count himself most unlucky.

I'm with Wexford.

Creamy for me.

Tasty all the way. Crumbly just gets stuck down the moobs cleavage

Redbeard · Post by **Redbeard** » Thu Oct 27, 2016 10:28 pm

Yorkies shouldn't really be allowed to vote, but in any case following my own vote crumbly is 11-6 ahead, which of course is just as it should be.

"Yorkies shouldn't really be allowed to vote, but in any case following my own vote crumbly is 11-6 ahead, which of course is just as it should be"

Unless of course you were east Lancs born and bred but only in yorks to spread the gospel (oh, and to earn a crust)

ICL · Post by **ICL** » Thu Oct 27, 2016 10:58 pm

Where is the creamy option? Crumbly doesn't cut it for me; depending on my mood I go for tasty on toast (or crumpets) and creamy in my cheese and tomato sarnies made with Oddies wholemeal bread. I think this post covers several previous food threads.

Redbeard · Post by **Redbeard** » Thu Oct 27, 2016 11:00 pm

Indeed, Westyork. By 'Yorkies', I meant of course proper Yorkies, such as prefer Wensleydale.

15-8 now though!

Tasty for me. Melts in an appropriate way.

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Thu Oct 27, 2016 11:39 pm

Crumbly and Creamy are very good but Tasty is the finest cheese on the planet.
Also it has to be Dewlay from Garstang, all others are poor in comparison.

Crumbly every time, death to the infidel !!!

Crumbley. Awww I miss Lancashire cheese

TheFamilyCat · Post by **TheFamilyCat** » Fri Oct 28, 2016 7:56 am

Creamy on a Hovis biscuit

claretdom · Post by **claretdom** » Fri Oct 28, 2016 8:01 am

Crumbly every single time.

Remember though when crumbly wins this vote, the tasty party are likely to reject the result.

Herts Clarets · Post by **Herts Clarets** » Fri Oct 28, 2016 8:21 am

Crumbly with a nice thick slice of buttered bread from WH Oddie

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Fri Oct 28, 2016 8:30 am

What the hell is tasty cheese?

Surely if you're eating it, it's tasty, or is there something else I'm missing?

I do like chesees with chives, pickles, chillies, etc in on my crackers, but don't know what category that fits into.

Redbeard · Post by **Redbeard** » Fri Oct 28, 2016 8:53 am

24 -12 to the crumblies this morning.

Yeeeeesss!!

Bfc · Post by **Bfc** » Fri Oct 28, 2016 9:33 am

Crumbly for me on brown bread and the taste bud pleasure I get when eating the bits which break off, slicing the cheese.

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Fri Oct 28, 2016 10:24 am

Interestingly, there were about 14 people at last night's meeting and the vast majority of them opted for tasty cheese… They obviously haven't voted yet!

Crumbly. But my lovely wife who controls the shopping budget brings home the other sort. So am deprived.

ecc · Post by **ecc** » Fri Oct 28, 2016 12:01 pm

I voted for "Crumbly" as I haven't got a clue about "Tasty".

While it is true (I have no choice but to admit it) that France is the cheese capital of the world, it annoys me when I hear "you don't have any cheese in England".

I love Lancashire (DNA) but also Cheddar and Leicester (cheese not city).

Chobulous · Post by **Chobulous** » Fri Oct 28, 2016 12:09 pm

Growing up in the 60s there was only Lancashire cheese - which was crumbly. None of this poncy Tasty ********. So as far as I'm concerned "Tasty" Lancashire is a total impostor, probably invented by nascent Remoaners, who have no connection to the average working man

Owd Tasty is a man's cheese - a bit like that first taste of bitter when you were a kid.

Having said it's a man's cheese - I grew up liking it on my mother's knee.

Health reasons I'm not eating cheese these days - but I can but dream.

Hi Chobulous,

You've been missing out.

According to Wikipedia - Tasty is the traditional method and crumbly a more recent creation.

"Lancashire is an English cow's-milk cheese from the county of Lancashire. There are three distinct varieties of Lancashire cheese. Young Creamy Lancashire and mature Tasty Lancashire are produced by a traditional method, whereas Crumbly Lancashire (more commonly known as Lancashire Crumbly within Lancashire) is a more recent creation suitable for mass production."

Different "cheese authorities" state that Lancashire has been making cheese for over 120 years - or over 700 years. A proud tradition.

Crumbly....on a toasted currant tea cake.

Anybody as says any different is talking pish.

Paul Waine · Post by **Paul Waine** » Fri Oct 28, 2016 4:51 pm

Just come back on - what's this I can't vote twice?

So, modern crumbly is better than the traditional tasty? I don't think so.

We need a new vote (or, is this the wrong thread)?

CnBtruntru · Post by **CnBtruntru** » Fri Oct 28, 2016 4:53 pm

Don't you think it's a bit mean having people to make a choice, could have put one against Wensleydale or something, that would have been a fairer choice, just bloody mean.

Good luck with that…

Crumbly… and it’s not even close.

Creamy from the market in Todmorden - my favourite cheese by a country mile and I order it as a treat a few times a year on their online store.

Nearly a 9 year bump of a thread is some effort

Correct answer though with crumbly

Another vote for creamy. Is that the same as tasty?

fatboy47 · Post by **fatboy47** » Fri Feb 14, 2025 8:40 am

Still crumbly....seen nothing in last 9 years to make me think otherwise.

Whenever I've seen a selection of Lancashire cheeses at a food festival or similar there is always three options, crumbly, creamy and tasty.

Poll is flawed. Democracy is dead.

Down_Rover · Post by **Down_Rover** » Fri Feb 14, 2025 9:00 am
