Forget cooking a festive feast, just serve a Christmas dinner cheese! Company create all-in-one meal in block of cheddar:
- Pilgrims Choice have created a cheddar with turkey flavouring
- Cheese also contains carrots and sprouts
- For dessert, they’ve invented cheese with flavours of Christmas pudding
Cheesy festive songs are a Christmas staple… but what about a block of cheddar that tastes like turkey and all the trimmings? That’s exactly what you could be spreading on crackers or grilling on toast after a chef created the world’s first Christmas dinner cheese.
The unique cheddar contains turkey flavouring as well as whole sprouts, pieces of carrot and festive fruit.
There’s also a Christmas pudding cheese with brandy-soaked sultanas, raisins and currants, candied cherries and apple, cinnamon and liqueur. The idea for the festive cheeses came from chef and product developer at the Pilgrims Choice cheddar company, Linda Appel, 31.
‘We wanted to give the nation something really special and unique for Christmas which brought together two of our favorite foods – Christmas dinner and cheddar,’ she said.
‘So I worked to combine the two. We’ve done the same thing with Christmas pudding – because you can’t have Christmas without a bit of Christmas pudding. ‘The best bit about it, is that now you can have Christmas dinner on toast. ‘It means I can have Christmas dinner whenever and as often as I like without all the hard work and hassle that usually comes with it.’
Last Christmas, lazy chefs were given a quick alternative to cooking in the form of a self-heating dinner in a can. Including all the usual trimmings, the Christmas Dinner HotCan just required cooks to peel back the lid and pierce the sachet, which triggered a natural heat-producing reaction.
