Is Stilton Anything Like Danish Blue

[sandyRoe]

?

[ummmm]

Most blue cheeses taste very similar to me.

No Sandy. Stilton far superior,known as "The King of Cheeses".

[hc4361]

No. Danish blue has a fresh tang, Stilton has a fusty flavour.

[Zacs-Master]

You taste like Blue Cheese ummmm?

[ummmm]

You'll have to ask my OH Zacs...lol

I find Danish Blue leaves an unpleasant metallitic 'tang' whereas I can eat Stilton 'til I'm sick.... :o)

[Peter Pedant]

try dorset blue in stead

crumbly subtle taste - spend whole christmas tasting and deciding

Stilton has a rind - which is delicious. I don't think Danish blue has, at least I've never seen it, I think it must be made in an endless flowing process - much inferior stuff to stilton (which I can't get here and I'm jealous).

They have different accents.

///They have different accents.///

Whilst that is true, it's a darned site easier to understand a Dane speaking Danish than it is to understand a Fenlander speaking English! :op

[Peter Pedant]

they have different accent Old G

whats the difference between Stilton and Danish Blue ? yeah I was gonna say about 3/6 a pound ....

[gingejbee]

I'm not too fond of Danish Blue - it has a sharp, almost acidic taste to me. Stilton is much "kinder" in the mouth...though Shropshire Blue is my preferred blue cheese.

Many years ago in a pub called 'The Wild Duck' at Ewen, a village on the Wilts/Glos border, the landlord used to stick the rind of the finest Stilton in an earthenware crock about the size of a football and pour in some port, a process he continually repeated, the resulting strong-smelling amazing substance was spread on a supply of crackers on the bar, it was not only delicious, but also a sure-fire cure for a hangover, this was much tested by the Red-Arrow pilots from nearby Kemble.

I have always liked Roquefort and then St Agur as a substitute. I prefer blue cheese all the time but never liked Danish Blue in the UK. I always considered it had a soapy taste to it.
I went to Madeira last month and the buffet had large cubes of blue cheese with lumps of edam and other white cheeses. I opted for the blue thinking it might be local. I would swear it was Roquefort. It was fantastic.I asked a Dining room meeter/greeter if the cheese was local or imported Roquefort .
She went to the kitchen to enquire and came back with a 3kg catering box of St Catherines Danish Blue. I could hardly believe it was not Roquefort.
Very strange how cheeses of the same name differ in brand.

Sorry. I meant St Clemens Danish Blue.
