Just a slice of bread and cheese?
Well not just any old bread and not just any old cheese. The thing is, they are related. This bread is whey bread using whey from St. Andrews Farmhouse Cheese company just north of Anstruther. The whey is run off and milled out of the cheese curd once the milk has been set by rennet. Usually this is used as liquid manure on the fields but Jane Stewart kindly filled my 2 litre milk carton (yet again!) so that I could make cobs with folk from The Fife Diet.
The whey gives the bread a taste quite unlike anything else; fragrant and buttery. It is delicious on its own, or with just a little butter. Jam, honey or marmalade wouldn't do at all but try it with cheese!!! And which cheese would be just right? You guessed. Anster cheese, made at the St Andrews Cheese Farm where the whey came from. The whey incorporated in the bread, and the curds, now magically formed into cheese, are back together in the form of a slice of bread and cheese. It tasted brilliant - sorry there is none left ....
