Or any cheese with sweet additions - like cranberries, apricots, raisins etc. Oatcakes are my preferred accompaniment for cheese. Although I don't turn down cheese and cake in those houses that offer it.

ThorntonRunner Dec 2018 3:09pm, 23 Dec 2018 1,936 posts	0 ThorntonRunner Work provided everyone with a hamper this year. It's a Spanish company and the hampers came from Spain, so in parts may be a challenge for our not-very-adventurous family. Among other things it contains a 1kg sheep's cheese.

Alice the Camel Dec 2018 3:46pm, 23 Dec 2018 3,666 posts	0 Alice the Camel It's never crossed my mind to eat cheese with Christmas cake. Although I've eaten plenty of Plum Bread with cheese over the years. Hmmm interesting....
