Melted Cheese

For those of us who absolutely adore melted cheese, there's nothing like a raclette. Raclette is a type of cheese or a dish featuring cheese. The cheese and dish originate from the Swiss Alps and the cheese is made from cow's milk.

This is really good, hearty comfort food. It's a dish fit for the cold weather that has made its presence felt since September. This stall selling raclettes and melted cheese sandwiches can be found in Borough Market, London. The nearest Tube station is London Bridge.

I just love it when the hot, melted cheese is scraped off the top. Watching that thick, viscous cheese slide off onto the mashed potatoes is pure ecstasy.

After scraping one layer off, the raclette cheese is put back under the heater to melt down the next layer.

The stall also sells melted cheese sandwiches. That vast amount of cheese stacked between the bread slices is enough to satisfy any cheese fanatic.

The raclette dish – hot, melted raclette cheese on mashed potato flavoured with some fresh ground black pepper with some gherkins on the side.

Heavenly.
