Raptors Claws are coming to town Dec 2018 2:10pm, 23 Dec 2018 40,039 posts	Quote Pin Raptors Claws are coming to town I don't much fancy chocolate Yule log with Wensleydale cheese. I've just had an interesting concoction at work, provided by one of the nurse practitioners. Wensleydale cheese with cranberries ... and raisins and amaretto. "This cheese tastes of marzipan," I thought before checking the label. I could've eaten the entire block had I not used up all the digestive biscuits in the biscuit box.

Meglet Dec 2018 2:25pm, 23 Dec 2018 19,917 posts	Quote Pin Meglet I too have been converted to cheese with fruit cake, though I prefer cheddar, I find Wensleydale a bit too mild. Not long after I was married my MiL made us a Christmas cake. When I talked about putting the marzipan and icing on husband looked at me as if I was crazy! It was the only bit I’d eat as a child.

It seems that we were both brought up on the white crumbly cheese being Cheshire rather than Wensleydale. Either one works really well with Christmas cake IMO. Looking forward to hopefully having some on Boxing Day in Yorkshire with my family
