Roquefort is Innocent!

[Beef Oven]

I heard about that, I think Robbie Coltrane is the new "face of Cracker Barrell".

Roquefort? A treat?

I had some once - well, it got into my mouth for a few seconds before I spat the foul, rancid stuff out.

Manners, Timothy!

....I think a piece of inanimate (aah,but is it?) French cheese has done what a lot of us posters would have liked to do all these years to Simon....
....Best wishes [to the piece of cheese, of course]

That said, can anything from across the channel be better than a farm-made, organic, traditional Wensleydale, with Cox's apples and celery, wholemeal spelt breadrolls and a pint of something good in the real ale line?

Two pints, perhaps?

Indeed, FHG!

[MrGongGong]

Someone had used it in a quiche instead of the normal, decent,

Who on earth want's to eat "normal" cheese ?
and what's "decent" got to do with it ?

What's a pirates favourite cheese ?

(of course without EU protected status we would loose many of our fine cheeses.......... )

That was the most hilarious bit.

It's not complicated, 2Gs: Simon doesn't like that perverted, indecent foreign cheese...

Wherever you wander, there's no place like home ... I doubt Wensleydale would be the first choice down this way

And in any case, who would want to choose the same thing every day? A sticky camembert, French crusty bread, perhaps a few olives, a couple of glasses of good red wine (or Normandy cider if you prefer) would go down just as well ...

I'd advise you to steer clear of Wales, though, where you'll find farmhouse goat's cheese a speciality, and Gloucestershire where you may be served a pear-washed Stinking Bishop, or maybe you'll encounter a Swaledale ewe's milk cheese. I think it's the type of milk that gives it its flavour, rather than the crossing of the channel.

Ed - Ha! Is that Gromit vid a reference to SB?

Two London-based friends spent Christmas 2012 in the their house in Provence with a new wood-burning stove (toasty warm ) and had their French neighbours round over four days to taste the delights of traditional British provender. At first said neighbours were a tad suspicious of the richly dark Christmas pudding and mince pies but they came round to their charms and pronounced them good. The real hit tho was a selection of British cheeses, particularly mature cheddar and Stilton.

And the ECB.....swings and roundabouts.....I wonder if they do Roquefort flavour cheese strings.....

[MrGongGong]

Some things (cheese and music) are worth it

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]
