Deluxe Cornish Camembert

Price: £1.69

Score (out of five): I'm giving this a Spinal Tap 6.

Review: reader, I married it. Well, I would've done if I was allowed to eat cheese. Excuse me while I deliriously eulogise about this Camembert.

OH MY GOD IT WAS SO NICE. IT WAS JUST LIKE EATING CREAM MADE INTO A CHEESE. IT HAD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FLAVOUR. BUY THIS NOW AND JUST PUT YOUR FACE INTO IT AND CHEW.

*ahem*

Sorry, my usual objectiveness has left me. But, bloody hell, this is good cheese. I presume it's called a Camembert because it's made in the same way, but it's actually just an incredibly rich, flavoursome British soft cheese. I'm imagine a blue version would be like what Lymeswold was like. So, yes, I can heartily recommend adding this to your middle class cheese board at a dinner party.

First post - Milbona Turkish style yoghurt

So, this is my first review!

Price: £1.49

Score (out of five): 4

Review: alas, I have to start my first review with a slight qualifier here. I do sports training quite a bit, so I mainly eat my yoghurt with a spoon of banana-flavoured whey protein mixed into it, which is obviously not going to be to everyone's taste.

Allowing for that, the Milbona Turkish Style yoghurt is very good indeed. It's about the same price as a half of the amount in Tescos. It's lovely and thick (10% fat) and and has an excellent flavour and texture. 

I'm sure if I were Turkish or Greek then I would have tried better - it is Turkish "style" after all. But the nearest I have tried to it is Tesco Finest Greek yoghurt which is £1.60 for 500g and that comes from Macedonia. I'd happily serve this as a light dessert at a middle class lunch party with some yoghurt and toasted almonds stirred through it. 

I also regularly buy the Milbona low fat Greek yoghurt and normal Greek yoghurt. Reviews of them will be forthcoming.
