Gorgonzola Dolce and Stilton - what kind of bread?
 

I was thinking of bringing a cheese platter to a potluck this Friday. I can get a wedge of good Stilton and a tub of Gorgonzola Dolce from my local high-end market. But, what kind of bread do you think would pair well? It would have to be something you could pick up at a market or bakery - no time to bake anything myself. And any other accompaniments you think would be good?

Ripe, crisp pears and tart apples along with some Carr's Water Biscuits.

A bottle of port and a bag of toasted walnuts :D

Strange "bread" suggestions thus far.

Personally, I'd go for something with some nuts and fruit in it, but optimally, nothing overly sweet. (Not a cinnamon raisin, but more like a walnut raisin.) I think it helps cut some of the stronger flavors in gorgonzola and stilton, while also complimenting them.

On campus, so no booze. :( But that was my first thought as well!

Bath Oliver's are perfect with Stilton. Gorgonzola requires something saltier. I don't think bread really works with either but , if forced to choose, I'd go for sourdough.

On Campus? use empty Welch's bottle as a decanter!

Another vote for an authentic fresh baked sourdough as well.

The high end store should have what you need. ask for their advice

I ran oiut of time, and they were out of everything. I just bought a package of those little whole wheat toasts. Those worked fine. As it went not to many people took any, so I have half a tub of it left.

Too late to be useful, but I had with sourdough recently and it matched perfectly

I've yet to find any cheese or meat that a good crusty sourdough doesn't complement well.
