I've educated my french friends on the wonderful cheeses that the UK has to offer. I also had a long running cheese off with a Francophile that couldn't agree that France don't make the best cheeses (in my opinion). Here's my top picks for what its worth:
1) Cheddar
2) Wensleydale
3) Stilton
4) Red Lester
5) feta
6) Gorgonzola
7) Brie (but it's got to be good brie).
8) Parmesan

"I got a small cheese and wine hamper for Christmas.
The cave aged cheddar was beautiful. "
I've just seen the price of it and for £70 I'd have wanted a lot more cheese.
I got a nice little hamper I can store stuff in though. |

"The best cheese ever in my opinion, is sadly no longer available (at least here in the UK)
Cracker Barrel. I loved that stuff!  "
Someone recently brought me some. It’s lovely. The Seriously Sharp white cheddar was seriously sharp.  |

There are very few I don't like...cheese is yum.
But at the top would be:
Camembert - slightly overripe.
Brie - just before overripe.
Very mature cheddar - needs to irritate the gums.
But the very, very top:
St Nectaire. Eat it whilst it's "stretchy, elastic" rather than firm or gooey. Fills your gob with a creamy, slightly mushroomy dance of happiness.
If you've never tried it - give it a go. But let it get to stretchy...that's the temperature where all the flavours and textures get released. Lots going on with it - needs to be tried because my words can't do it justice. |

Just cheeses. Lots of cheeses. The cheesiest cheese you can find!
I’m doing my family Christmas dinner today - better late than never! We are having cheddar, Stilton, Brie, Wensleydale with cranberries, and a soft garlic herby one I cannot spell. With an assortment of cheese crackers, some chutneys, and grapes. |

"Brie/ port salut/ mature cheddar chevaux actually all cheese love it! With grapes chutney and crakerwheat x"
You raise a great point about supplementary sides. Grapes, hummus and flatbreads would be my choice |
