The last published cheese First XI was drawn up prior to our wedding by food friend Peter H-Booth, with a diagram of the basic cheese production processes. Both diagram and team sheet were above the cheese table, where the strong combo of Berkswell & Membrillo (sounds like a late ‘90s Garage duo), Binham Blue, Montgomery Cheddar and a Vacherin were consumed succinctly by our guests around the time of the first dance.
On reflection, this would be my suggested new Cheese First XI:
11 Ricotta
10 Gorgonzola Dolce
9 That French one with herbs on it 7 Comte 24 months 8 Berkswell
6 Caerphilly
4 Tunworth 2 Mull Cheddar 3 Stichelton 5 Parmesan
1 Pecorino Sardo
On the bench: Wigmore, Halloumi, Laughing Cow, Coolea, Langres
N.B. Puns around Gorgon-Gianfranco-Zola Dolce or parallels between Caerphilly and Ryan Giggs have been deliberately excluded from the process of this.
