Christmas cake with cheese?

Used to work with a bloke from Derbyshire and he claimed it originated from that county. Also other people are known to eat cheese and jam in the same sandwich. Anyone tried that?

With Fruit Cake - yes, occasionally but not often. Not with Christmas Cake though - icing on top of the cake with the cheese is just wrong!

My wife makes a good Christmas cake and some of her icing designs have been quite inventive. When it comes to eating it though, I always put the icing aside...can't stand the stuff.

Yes, we used to have jam and cheese butties for tea when I was a kid. Blackcurrant jam and crumbly Lancs is my favourite.

Still have blackcurrant jam on one slice of toast in a morning with cheese on the other - a very Northern thing!
Lads at the the golf club cannot believe it when I put salt and pepper on my crumpets, they have jam!
 
Never heard of Christmas cake and cheese, unless you’re talking about cake first, then the cheese and biscuits. If not, how? Do you melt the cheese, spread it?
 
I'd never heard of it until I was in my late teenage years - it's generally Wensleydale if I do it.

Interesting combinations of food.

My middle sister used to have an unusual combination of piccalilli and jam - I guess it's a sweet/sour combination. I've never tried it, but she used to really enjoy. Miss you sis 🧡

Better on cake without the icing, but a slice of fruit cake with a slice of crumbly white cheese on top eaten together. Delicious.
 
Even better is cheese with a mince pie. Gently lever the top off the pie and place a thin slice of cheese over the mince bit. Replace the lid and gently warm up. Bingo bingo, an ace experience
 
Cheese with anything works.
Fruit loaf, hot cross buns combines with most sweet things.
English sweet & sour.
Did jam & cheese butties as a kid.
