At a cheese stall in Les Halles in Saint Quentin recently and we came across a cheese we had to buy as it sold by the catchy name of Brique du Nord (Brick of the North). It's hard to imagine what inspired the ad agency or the manufacturer to come up with this name. Perhaps they wanted to express the solid nature of the cheese and its dependency with its great lingering taste. Come on let's have more real solid names like this rather than these silly made up names like Pantysgawn (a Welsh soft goat cheese).
No it's not Pantysgawn it's Brique du Nord.
And dogs. Found a new friend in town, isn't he (well it could be she but doesn't look very feminine) cute! Not sure why the proprietors feel it is a good idea to have this adorable creature outside a designer women's clothes shop.
Red. Good name for the dog? or Brick of the North.

Hello
Couldn't resist the Pantysgawn. That can't seriously be the name of the cheese but Geoff you're right it is. Need to get hold of some but maybe it does what is says on the tin and so I'll need to keep a tight hold or my pants will be gawn!!!!!
Brique du Nord sounds like something from Yorkshire! The proof of the pudding as they say is in the eating and I plan to taste both before too long.
Much love to you both. V & A
