Oh, yummy. Crumbly, like good aged cheddar, but a mild flavor. Hard to
describe. I love it on those thick cream biscuits that the Jacobs'
assortment only has a few of!


Mmm. sounds delicious!

I used to buy a mild cheddar with walnuts embedded in it (St. Ivel was
the brand) -- made the yummiest sandwiches on granary (multigrain) bread
with a touch of mustard! Oh, my tummy is weeping with nostalgia...

Oooh, and may we have tea at Betty's?? I still dream about their Welsh
rarebit! And scones! Just try finding a decent scone here in the
U.S....sigh.

LOL! Mmmm i loved their welsh rarebit. I think Betty's would be in order-
maybe we could tour yorkshire and visit every Betty's. When i went to (lovely)
York last year we went to Betty's in York one day (and had the summer menu) and
stopped off at the one in Ilkely (moor bah'tat) and had the Autumn menu- too
delicious.

Yorkshire curd cheesecake! It is not cheesecake as you know it but if you
get a good one it melts in the mouth) My grandmother used to make them
and I love them still.

I will let Sarah tell you about them)


LOL- well it is a tricky one to describe. It is made from curd cheese do is
quite crumbly in texture, with currants. The texture is quite unusual -as O
says it is totally different from a normal cheesecake. Here's a recipe link:

It is yummy but i have to confess that it is eclipsed for me by pastry and jam-
jam slice, jam and coconut slice, jam lattice- jam jam jam lol!

are invited on any Bettys trip O. We could tour Yorkshire looking for any good
cafes and any yarn resources.

Jam and coconut slice............................. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I
want to go homeeeeeeeeeeeee

LOL there are too many delicious and wonderful cakes and pies in
Yorkshire)

And scones! Just try finding a decent scone here in the
U.S....sigh.


I was born and bred in County Durham, but have lived across the pond since a
week after we got married! I very quickly discovered that in order to find
decent scones there was only one place - my own kitchen. Likewise, for curd
tarts I discovered that an acceptable substitute is to make it with "creamed
cottage cheese".
