No cheesy cheese please
There was a lot of talk about cheese in today's session which got me to thinking about adjectives to describe cheese.
By adding -y to some nouns you can create an adjective e.g
salt - salty
pepper - peppery
spice - spicy
garlic - garlicky
tang-tangy
Although cheesy means 'like cheese in taste, smell, or consistency' it can also mean cheap and of low quality!

What's your favourite cheese? How would you describe it?
