We do a very similar thing, ff, using Irish potato farls (known usually chez nous by a less polite name) from Sainsbury's instead of toast, and leaving it open. Stilton or Roquefort is best, we find.Originally posted by french frank View Post
Makes all the difference, doesn't it?Serve with Good Red Wine.

A dull thud at the letterbox and lo! A 144-page catalogue from my favourite wine merchant.Originally posted by vinteuil View Posta saint-sardos : now that looks interesting...
These Boards are so educational - until ten minutes ago I knew nothing about the War of Saint-Sardos. We lost; a precursor of the Hundred-Years' (Years' ? Year's ? Years? ) War...

The accompanying letter advises: "We are delighted, for the second time this year, to the able to reduce the prices of a substantial number of wines. In January we dropped the prices of over 300 wines, and due to to an increasingly favourable Euro exchange rate and a slightly lower than expected duty increase earlier this year, we are able to incorporate over 100 more price reductions into this List, with prices held for all other wines"
This comes from The Wine Society which has been a co-operative venture since 1874 and I recommend it. For further details about its mutuality please see ..

One of the (many) good things abt the Wine Society is that it covers everything from real good cheapos - a very drinkable Portuguese red (Real Lavrador Tinto Alentejo 2011, Adega Co-op Redondo) at £4-95 per bottle to the more extreme experiences (ch Lafite Rothschild 2004, pauillac) - ahem - £850 per bottle...
And they winkle out interesting rarities you won't find in supermarkets or local offfies - and they are remarkably reliable...Comment

As you say, interesting and very reliable. I only once ever had to send back a case, of their house claret I think - just didn't like it at all.
Other than that, never a missed beat - I remember an amazing Ribera del Duero special reserve for very little money, absolutely delicious."...the isle is full of noises,

The Rocquefort would be a step up, with which the Saint-Sardos would definitely be indiqué.Originally posted by JFLL View Post
This dish could probably be further sophisticated with some sort of fancy mushroom. But a woody portobello will do the job.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment
