Partridges in pear trees are all very well, but if your true love really wanted to win your heart they’d send round a cheese for every day of Christmas too. Cheese is of course brilliant any time of the year but it adds real flavour and zing to Christmas celebrations. There’s always room for a slice of something creamy and tangy after Christmas lunch (even if you did have seconds of turkey). And no corny old Christmas film should ever be watched without a plate of cheese, a box of crackers and a bottle of port in easy reaching distance.
