Mimosa deli in herne hill usually has reblochon kittyP - £10 for a big one which I think is reasonable (although, tbh I've no idea really)
aye, got it from you
it's a semi circle and perfect size for a small tartiflette.So you're the tartiflette expert on here are you? Tartiflexpert even. How come I have been unaware of this until now eh?aye, got it from you
and yeh kitty, sainsburys for the cheese
They sell it in champagne + fromageI will go shopping for ingredients tomorrow.
Just hoping I can find Reblochon
nah, far from it. wayward bob introduced me to it, and I've made it a few times since. It's bloody lovely! Come round some time for it?
doddles said:It'll work with any Reblechon, but a better quality one - one that's nice and soft in the middle - will taste nicer than one with cheaper supermarket Reblechon, which tends to be too hard (not ripe enough??).
When you've finished eating it, I dare you to go outside and run around the block
Mmmm yes please! That'd be lovelynah, far from it. wayward bob introduced me to it, and I've made it a few times since. It's bloody lovely! Come round some time for it?
Lets sort it out in the new yearMmmm yes please! That'd be lovely
£3 for a half round so got two as the pan I have is pretty big.
so I have one of these in the oven now (made to bob/Biddly's suggested recipe) and we'll be having it with a huge pile of vegetables so as to try and get some sort of goodness into them along with the hearty stodge
(was leftover from Xmas - I've been intending to make this since NYD 
) so I've used a couple of dollops of total greek yoghurt instead, which is a bit of a shame (it's the zero fat version, too 
) but hopefully not too far off what it should be like!

I'm hoping it will give me some energy to spur me on a bit, rather than leaving me sprawled on the sofa, surrounded by piles of books and games and rubbish...

I used to live on tartiflette at festivals. Dunno whether they still do it, but there used to be a stall that cooked enormous quantities of tartiflette in massive, metre+ wide pans. They'd go around all the festies
Anyone tried making it without the bacon? (sorry, crap weedy vegetarian question
These people...
...who do this.
It's more than one of my favourite things at a festival, it's one of the highlights of my entire year. Their presence has been known to influence which festivals I attend. One of my greatest festival moments was persuading them as they were closing one night to sell me a load of the burned / caramelised cheese from the bottom of one of the pans they were scraping out.
Have tried recreating it myself, and I can get the tartiflette right (best with unsliced smoked streaky from sandridge farm), but I've never been able to crack the awesome, fatty-yet-lean garlicyness of the sausages they slow cook in wine. Closest I've got are some fat sausages from an italian deli, but they're not quite right.
FWIW, I cook my tartiflette with no onions, lots of reblochon and a fuck ton of double cream. To counter this, I only allow myself to cook it once per year.
