A good snack

[french frank]

... hmmm. Not sure. I think with a roquefort I wd be tempted to go with a good oloroso or amontillado sherry. Or, of course, a sauternes...

Well, perhaps just mushrooms on toast, then, with Saint-Sardos

Hummm

we went to Roquefort last year on holiday, brilliant place entirely devoted to blue cheese and a bit shabby
so after tasting several different ones and in combinations found that there was some hefty local red that was perfect with the strong taste

makes perfect sense in a way , Sake goes well with Sushi etc etc

Toast with Marmite or marmalade. Cup of tea. I find the older I get the simpler my tastes become. I'm rather nervous about going to stay with my son next week, because their food is very different from mine.

Am I the only person in the world who doesn't like wine? It (any sort) always makes me feel ill.

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

no Mary Chambers i do not drink it for similar reasons .... [and all other booze come to that] and with you on the delights of marmite toast but also very enamoured of cheap tinned mushrooms and emmental on toast .... with black coffee!

No Mary, all wine tastes like vinegar to me.
Marmite,now you're talking.
Cheese on toast with a thin coating of marmite(or worcester sauce) and a nice hot steaming mug of black coffee (which a few years ago would have been followed by a cigarette,not any more though).

[Mary Chambers]

I'm relieved there are other wine-dislikers out there!

Another sweet snack I used to love but tend to eat less frequently now, because it's too fattening, is cinnamon toast. Toast a thick slice of white bread on one side, then spread the other side with a mixture of sugar, butter and cinnamon and toast/grill it. Absolutely delicious.

Don't mind a glass of wine, but so much of it is SO strong these days,and dehydrating too !!
Prefer a beer.

I noticed that. There's very little at 11.5% these days - most of it is more like 13 and even 14%. As I no longer enjoy it I've stopped drinking wine.

Send it over then
all depends on where you get yours from
our elderflower 2011 was about 10%
and the Ardeche rose we bought at the Vineyard about 11%
