Jacob’s and Brichford Farmstead Everton cheese
Parm
Ski Queen Gjetost
Again, new cheeses to me (apart from parmesan of course).
Pairing cheese with alcohol can get nasty: shall we finish the cheese and have another bottle, or should we finish the cheese and have another two bottles, etc, etc.

Definitely cheaper to by steak, ahi, etc...but harder to spread that on crackers...

A good lot of them were smaller cheese chunks; not as price prohibitive as they’d seem on their face.
OK.
I remember when we visited California earlier this year and went into a few stores, some of the cheese prices made my eyes water. We ended up with supermarket ’own brand’ stuff because we dare not buy expensive stuff we knew nothing about.

Not a fan of ’hot cheeses’, so the Habenero Pepper Jack would not be on my cheese board (nor the Mexican one mentioned by Adam). Is it a blow your head off one, or mini-sensible?
<*))))))><
The Hab pepper cheese is hot, but its blended with some mango and that makes it a sweet and hot combination. Very tasty stuff, and its good on crackers which help cut the heat. Unfortunately I threw out the outer wrapping so I can’t give you a brand name.

Yip, pound for pound steak works out cheaper when you go ’upper end’ at the cheese counter and yes, it’s a bugger to layer on a biscuit.

Thanks for the info about the hot cheese, wife will be in California during January: cheese will not be on her ’return list’ though: she has a mini beer collection to find while visiting our daughter.

Kentucky is more like Shropshire than London, I’d imagine. And you are not too far from Abergavenny- do you see a good bit of Red Dragon in Shropshire?

Yak, or Cow’s Chhurpi?
(had to Google it, no expert mate).
