Hells teeth you couldn't buy a cheese roll anywhere other than Southland until recently so why the debate, a fact is a fact and that is that!!!

Can I put a plug in for the SOUTH OTAGO SWEDES. Have grown them for many years and they are always popular.

Cheese rolls only found in Southland until recently is a very incorrect cheesy statement to make.Dunedin has always had hot buttered cheese rolls, which should be eaten with a steaming bowl of soup on a freezing cold Winters day, most certainly with the butter dripping down your chin.And I have to defend our Otago swedes as the men spend many long hours sowing them.The farmer now and then leaves a huge one on the lawn which is his way of telling me to cook a piece up for his tea.This year though, he has produced a tiny old variety which he says are the best tasting of the lot. I must admit they are far easier to prepare than trying to get a large carving knife through those big hard stubborn sods, not a job for the faint hearted, and I'll bet more than a few expletives have been uttered in the process

I think it was Southland who started calling them "Southland Cheese Rolls"and only quite recently.In fact they have always been available in coffee shops, tea rooms etc right across Otago as well. I grew up in Central Otago and dont ever remember a time when you couldnt get cheese rolls.I remember making them when I was quite young.It was only very recently that even knew the rest of the country didnt know about them, had I given it any thought, I would have just assumed they were a staple lunch item like scones or soup that everyone had.

Even had cheese rolls in Canterbury in the 60s but always thought of them as an Otago thing.A real treat for Dunedin boarding school kids of the era - available at teh tea place in the Octagon and at Moana Pool.Sorry but swedes are awful from anywhere (except raw)!

That's OK if you don't like swedes, the sheep won't mind a bit :-)
