Stinking Rose!

 What a wonderful name for a cheese!

Here's another from Croome Cheeses - a company based in Worcestershire, that I wrote about earlier this month .

150 grams for £3.65

The Co-op had 10 of their cheeses (I counted!) but I  passed on all the fruit/cheese combos and avoided that Hop one tried last time and landed on this 'Mature Cheddar with Garlic and Parsley'.

It's rather good, a lovely creamy texture with good strong garlic flavour. 


I ate the first piece with the Aldi multi-grain crackers plus cucumber and fresh cooked beetroot. Both of those were good too as I'd not bought either for months........... Not a massive salad fan through the cold months. The next cucumber I eat will - hopefully- be from the greenhouse.

I was glad I'd not bought either beetroot or strawberries from the car boot sale on Saturday as both were much, much cheaper at Aldi half an hour later. It pays to sometimes be wary of car-boot 'bargains'.

Back Soon

  1. Well, my car boot bargains were two very well established (fruiting!) Autumn Bliss raspberry plants. Now I have to plant them and they are in deep containers so that will be fun. But at £2 each . . .

    I cannot live without cucumber and buy two a week. Glad that you enjoyed the new cheese. Sounds a good 'un.

    1. The summer raspberries that I planted are just starting to be ready, the ones that were already here seem to fruit at random times including now and autumn. Hope your new plants spread well

    1. It's a nice texture cheese but the parsley disappears under the garlic which is quite strong

  3. I love that name! Very eye catching.
    BB, Autumn Bliss is a really lovely raspberry and getting established one at that price is amazing. Enjoy.

  4. I’m looking forward to homegrown tomatoes and cucumbers very much. The cheese looks good.

    1. It will be an age before I get tomatoes - they are very spindly tall and only one truss as yet

  6. My kind of lunch/snack. I've decided not to grow cucumbers again as I couldn't keep up with the amount produced by just a couple of plants.

    God bless.

  8. The cheese with garlic and parsley sounds like something I'd like as well.
    Cheese and good crackers make a nice addition to any meal or even a mid-day snack.
    Fresh cucumbers from your own garden will be delicious. My cucumbers have flowers so I am hopeful that there will be cucumbers.
