Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery For this one I have one clear instruction before we begin. Pick up the cheese, step away from the cheese-board, and get thee to the kitchen. This is a cheese that needs - possibly even demands - some heat. Now I know the kitchen is a bit of a foreign place for the cheese-lover - I mean what use is there of fry-pans or cook-pots? Bear with me though, this journey is worth it. Before we begin, I'm going to take you on a small flight of fancy. Imagine, if you will, that an honest English Cheddar decided to take a holiday on the Continent, and found itself in Switzerland. Maybe seeking some great waterfall to encounter a perilous foe, it instead meets a sweet and charming Emmental. Romance blossoms, the Cheddar settles - foe forgotten, and the two have a child. Roll forward a dozen years and a few more, and this is Raclette. The bitter-edged teenager child - probably miffed that Cheddar failed to find and defeat that foe. Raclette is a cheese...
Fructan intolerance seems to be a thing and currently the only way to find low fructan foods is to look in the gluten free section.
ReplyDeleteThat's the whole FODMAP site of things ... yes, the best source of FODMAP-friendly foods is with the GF foods, but there are also many non-GF low-FODMAP foods. There is also the cross-contamination side of things - there are any number of things that are not coeliac safe that are otherwise low-gluten/low-FODMAP.
