Awww, they don’t do shrimp anymore. It’s prawn. But they do smoked salmon too now.

You really ought not to go posh with tube cheese mate. Get the slutty stuff. :D


It’s vaguely comforting to me that most of us aren’t buying the processed tube cheese, though I do because it’s very easy to squeeze into the Kong toys for the dogs. Which inevitably leads to me applying it to hot toast or crumpets at about…now. :)

Shopping in IKEA a few years ago without my glasses in the food section, I spy a tube of cheese, grabbing it without close inspection, I toddle off home, and put it in the fridge. That night I get the munchies, so decide to have a mouthful of the sneezy cheese. Not bothering to put the lights on, I trek to the fridge, open the tube, and squeeze a generous dollop straight into my mouth......3 seconds later, I'm spitting the disgusting soft roe paste into the sink and trying to rid my mouth of the taste.
Nothing worse than getting fishy roe when you are expecting yummy cheese!
Next time, I took my glasses, and avoided the "tubes of squeezy cheese" like the plague!

Oh, that swedish roe paste is soo good! Especially on boiled eggs. Was it Kalle´s kaviar? There are other brands, too.

Yes it was, my eyes saw kasse, instead of kalle, which I assumed meant cheese in Swedish. Not knowing Swedish, but having a small smattering of German, you can see how I made a mistake.
I'm afraid I detest any sort of roe, so it was a very unpleasant experience.!

So famous in Sweden a certain band whose initials were A, B, B, and A asked the company who make it, Abba Seafood, if they could use their name.

If it helps to bring back on track, my local Tesco has Wookey Hole Cave Aged Cheddar on offer if you have a clubcard ;) :p

Seriously. In Tesco. We have some nearby. That is my Sunday mission and adventure. I have never been to a Tesco before.

Ah, the downward slide to perdition. From the noble heights of foraging and growing your own food the decline, first to farmers' markets, then local shops and then to the vulgar depths of supermarkets. If you don't watch out you will find yourself buying junk food at MacDonald's. Be very carefull!!!

Tesco didn’t have any. Waitrose did. But it is not something they stock all the time :(

Dont worry Oldtimer. But it’s good to have an emergency supply of this cheese in case I run out.

Is that a MAK? Beautiful handle, scandi grind too. Very nice and great way to use it!
No, it’s a Deval. Alan made the first two prototypes for me some many many years back. And I had him do another version as I regretted moving them on. Stu normally makes them. But I had to get Alan to do me a couple. The other has an oak handle.

And Dad said you had hornets after your beer too. I’m jealous. I didnt see a single one. I hope you didn’t bully them.

That’s right, big as Zeppelins they were too, I’ve never seen any before either.
