MORE CHEESE V.....

I realised we haven't had a new cheese recently for those cheese addicts out there. Recently we came across this 'Plaisir au Chablis'. A delightful little cheese washed/finished with Chablis wine. Well as they say 'What could possibly go wrong.'

No we did not try Le Gaperon D'Auvergne. Perhaps next week. We did try the Laguiole, rather delicious quite like cheddar.

Lard Gras is a food substance we've never got into. The idea of buying, at quite a high price, higher than the ham, a block of 'fat/lard'. I'm sure in some recipes it works, just seems against the ideals of a lower fat diet. It doesn't even look very inviting.

What we can sign onto is some of the wines, being given a visual lift by fun graphics. I hear you moan. Get some cheap wine, put it in trendy bottles and the fools will buy it. This used to be the case, not now. More and more quality wines are going for interesting graphics. Good. I like traditional labels but let's keep them for traditional wines. Let modern wines be more exciting. After all it's only a bottle of wine.
