Default Cheese with your Christmas cake.
Yay or nay.
Has to be Wensleydale to be authentic.

Never thought of it as a local tradition until daughter went to uni and then lived in Brighton. She has converted loads of her southern friends to this delicious treat.

Just when you think Christmas cake couldn't possibly be any worse, along comes Smudgie to blow that notion out of the water.

...Smudgie, you crazy northerner...we gave you Christmas and look what you did with it...I’m not a huge Christmas Cake fan or a huge Wensleydale fan...but may that Wensleydale snow on your cake and ice it beautifully.....


...(..I am actually a northerner but have never heard of that combination before...)...

I don't think its a whole Northern thing....I've never heard of it. Must be a North East thing.

I don't even understand what you mean....is it a bit of cake then a bite of cheese? Or both at the same time

It's a Victorian thing I think, they ate cheese after rich food to aid digestion.

North Yorkshire thing then.
Nice slice of fruit cake with a good slice of Wensleydale, layer them then eat both together in a bite.

A Yorkshire apple pie has a layer of Wensleydale cheese across the apples under the pie top.
Delicious, Wensleydale cheese does not melt.

I don't eat cheese but when I did, I doubt I would have combined those things. I think it might work though, people eat dried fruit with cheese all the time.

Have you tried it Jordan..maybe with a bit of mature cheddar if Wensleydale is too much.

I adore Stollen.
The more marzipan, cherries and almond flakes the better.
But I eat too much of it so only buy a couple of big ones a year.

I'd rather have my cheese on a cream cracker with a bit on Branston pickle.

I take my cake with a cuppa tea.
