Lounge Cheese > Plane Cheese
Currently in the EDI lounge awaiting my delayed LCY flight and it strikes me that the lounge cheeseboard selection will be better than that on my LHR-JFK flight tomorrow.
Will cheese pilfering from lounges become a thing.
No label on the jar but the accompanying chutney is excellent.

If the cheese comes wrapped it's not good cheese, It's only redeeming character is that it makes less of a mess when you store in your pocket after pilfering

It's very difficult to find cheese that doesn't have some form of wrapper.

Sounds like bringing in some cling film to wrap the lounge cheese take away would be a smart move

I've heard that the transparent plastic bags available at LHR security for liquids are handy for pilfering the rather good stilton from Flounge. On cheese in lounges more generally, in August 2016 for just a few weeks, the Boston lounge had Coombe Castle Guinness cheddar. It's an excellent hard cheese and difficult to find. Since then, I've seen it once in St George's Market in Belfast but no where else. If BA cheese buyers are reading this, please could that cheese reappear in the Boston Lounge and please retain the decent stilton in Flouge.

I'm clearly living in the past when I recall the VS cheese trolley coming round, with several decent options, onion marmalade, grapes, port etc... admittedly they had to ditch it when the A330 came into service and the aisles in UC were too narrow...
But did BA EVER have a decent onboard cheese offering in J? Without having to think back to the last millennium?

We'll have to call the cheese doctor!
You're lucky, having cheese at all. Most airlines don't offer it, on short haul anyway, but KLM has been known to come out with a few cheese options, as does SWISS. The Swiss like their cheese!
