shortcrust pastry, seriously rank soft blue cheese, anything will do as long as it really, really stinks, and I add grated parmesan but any strongish hard cheese will do. Flavoured oil, garlic etc to taste

Danish Blue, Stilton, Brie or any smelly soft cheese mixed with (defrosted) frozen pastry mix (the stuff for shortcrust, not puff, pastry). You can add cheese powder / cheese sauce mix etc, if you like.

Hi
Just made up a batch yesterday 1/3 rd pk of short crust pastry, 250gm very strong cheddar, 125gm danish blue cheese, 2 ml of blue cheese flavour & 1 pkt of cheese sauce mix. You can add essential oil / colours if you like Grate cheese, mix with pastry & flavour for min of 10 mins until very smooth, add cheese sauce mix, mix well again, place into plastic bags, store in fridge/ freezer hope this helps regars wayne |

dont throw the left overs away, bob it back in freezer and re-use, every time you do this it gets stronger

thanks to all master chefs
I managed to get hold of some danish blue, grated parmesan, frozen shortcrust, almond oil, and some yellow food colouring. left it in the fridge overnight, but it seems to have gone a bit soft and sticky, and wouldn't hold onto the baitholder for long enough. more pastry required, methinks. definitely hustles though! with the yellow colour, my fingers look like I've been smoking 60 a day all my life...... dan |

Hi Dan, rather than more pastry do as suggested by others, get some Bisto cheese sauce mix (from supermarkets), That will dry it out AND add flavour.
Cheers, Peter |

Puff pastry works better than than shortcrust. About 50% pastry gives you a nice consistency.
Bread is more or less useless and the resulting "paste" will quickly disintegrate in water. Steve |

thanks peter
will give it a try while I was fishing yesterday, some little terrier came up and started helping itself to the paste. obviously not stinky enough! puff pastry is layers of shortcrust with butter in between, rolled out......isn't it? maybe that could be used, but with less oil? thanks again for your advice |

The Thatcham catcher. Steve.
To say that bread is "useless" is nonsense. Many years ago I read a recipe for cheese paste by the great Peter Stone and have used ever since and caught some great Chub on it.Use one full size loaf (not sliced) cut off all the crust and cut into 3" cubes. Allow 4 to 5 days go stale(this is secret) IT MUST BE STALE). Soak with water place in a cotton cloth, ,I use a large hanky, squeeze out all the water and knead in cloth till smooth, it will go silky smooth add 100 grms of mature cheddar cheese finely grated and 5ml of Richworth Blue Cheese Flavouring. One other thing, make it soft, Peter Stone reckoned if you can reel it back for a second cast it is to hard. Terry. |

The Richworth Active Extracts, blue cheese and garlic, are an excellent additive to your blue cheese paste. Lots of winter gold bars on it.

mamofan,
Well, "useless" might be a bit strong. But puff pastry is better than bread. Just as soft but more resilient - you can leave it in place longer. And in winter I don't like leaving too many high protein baits like cheese in the water - I like to reel them back in! Two or three knobs of cheese carelessly allowed to enter the swim on a cold day could spell the end of your barbel chances......... And of course puff pastry can be picked off the supermarket shelf and used striaght away - no faffing around with stale bread required. Steve |

My cheese paste mix is lazy garlic, danish blue, mature cheddar, shortcrust pastry mix and Van Den Eynde Liquid Cheese.
The Danish and Mature were left in the fridge for about a year. They were wet when I used them they were that old and manky. Certainly honks a bit!  edit: Picture shouldn't that big! |

Jeez, and I was worrying about waiting for a whole four days to let the bread go stale...... I'll put 2009's Danish Blue in the greenhouse now before it's too late! Steve |

I know it's the lazy mans way but I use this guys products. Loads of different flavour and colour combo's and they are well priced. Well worth a look.
