Can a hat speak?

I've realised the reason I haven't been writing much recently, and that's because now I'm back at work I'm not out doing interesting things. I'm buried in month-end work at the moment, slaving over a hot spreadsheet, and that doesn't make for an interesting entry.* So let's ease over a dull day with a five question meme about cheese.

1. What was the first type of cheese you ever ate?
Probably that yellow plastic Kraft cheddar, either grated or as a Singles slice. As a child, that stuff makes the best grilled cheese on toast, though my cheese palate has developed since then.

2. What was the type of cheese you ate most recently?
For dinner this evening, I fried some sliced cauliflower florets with some Apostles Whey chilli feta, which I bought when I did that food trail tour a few months back. My jar is nearly empty now.

3. What is the most unusual cheese you ever ate?
I don't think I have a good answer to this. I am boringly conventional in my cheese eating. Nothing more unusual than blue cheese, and only a small amount of that.

4. What is your favorite cheese?
Any sharp and crumbly cheddar.

5. What is your favorite dish made with cheese?
Get some camembert, stud it with bits of garlic and thyme, drizzle with honey, bake in the oven in its little box. Spread it on toasted crusty bread or use it as a dip. It's not fancy, but it's really good.
