Grand Floridian Tea Time & British Cheese Plate

[allie_to_you]

Can anyone tell me the different types of cheeses that are on this cheese plate. My DH & I had this when we went to tea a couple weeks ago. We know that the middle cheese is Boursin cheese and it's WONDERFUL!!! We can't remember the names of the other cheeses though.

I enjoyed that cheese plate too, but I must admit I didn't pay close attention to what everything was. I thought the green one was sage, and the one under it had cranberry in it. Other than that, I'm little help.

I love cheese plates....this looks like a good one to try! You could try emailing GF and asking them about the cheese plate!

Ooh, that's a good idea...any idea the email address or where I could find it? I'd love to be find these cheeses somewhere here.

It looks like Sage Derby and Wensleydale with cranberrys. I think that the top one could be Cheddar with the other one being Red Leicester .

Boursin??? In a British cheese plate??? I know William of Normandy conquered England, but he didn't bring this Normandy cheese!!!! Quell horreur!

I do recognize the cheeses (DH is big on cheese from our homeland) but not 100% idea what they are. I'll give you a few guesses!

I'm wondering if the cranberry one, is some sort of Cranberry white stilton. I see that a lot in Whole Foods (not sure if you have one in your area, but they have a good range of UK cheeses) The green one might well be Sage Derby. You probably have an English cheddar in there. The orangey looking one might be red leicester (though it might also be the cheddar, though it isn't usually that color in UK)

My sentiment exactly about the French cheese. You can get a red - orange cheddar but I agree that it is most probably Red Leicester.

The one with cranberries is indeed Wensleydale cheese with cranberries.

I know the Cheddar is an Irish Cheddar (at least, that's what I was told when I ate the cheese), but I don't remember the rest.

There was no Stilton when I ate there in September.

I think you already have the correct information on the cheeses, but I wanted to say thanks for the picture! Now I know what I am ordering on Wednesday.
