Grainger Market - Cheese, Cheese and More Cheese!

On average, I'd say I visit Grainger Market at least once a week. I buy all my fruit and vegetables there because it's ridiculously cheap. My favourite thing about Grainger Market by far is the cheese counter. I have discovered some very unusual cheeses there, some nice and others not so nice.

My first discoveries were; sticky toffee pudding cheese with dates and raisins and white stilton with strawberries and champagne. I wasn't too keen on the white stilton, it left an odd taste in your mouth. The sticky toffee pudding cheese was delicious. Although, you wouldn't want to eat too much of it as it could quickly become sickly as it was rather sweet. However, it is a very clever cheese, when you can't choose between a pudding and cheese you can now have both!

My second discoveries were; cheddar with walnuts, Wensleydale with pineapple and white stilton with mango and ginger. The first two were incredible! However, I wasn't overly keen on the white stilton again. I think I will avoid it from now on!

I decided to make a lunch-time omelette with the cheddar. I made it using 3 eggs, a little milk, some spinach and black pepper. It was different but surprisingly nice. The cheese added flavour to the omlette and the walnuts added texture.
