Hi All,
Stukey, if you haven't been then you seriously need to
go to the Churchmice in Kirkby Lonsdale.
Cheese is good and the
mass produced stuff sacrifices excellence for consistency, meaning that you
can rely on a Waitrose Petit Basque to taste the same, whenever you buy it
- boring!
Hard Ribblesdale (virtually impossible for mortals
like us to obtain) is fantastic.
Gabriel blue can be excellent
and then can be mundane, they have good and bad years.
'balcony
cheeses' like Brie de meaux and epoisses are in my opinion lovely. I
recently had a really stinky and vile looking Italian cheese with no real
name, just the nickname 'Louigi'
Neal's Yard is a good and
professional cheese shop. I cannot recommend Paxton & Whitfield because
they sold me duff, dry goats cheese. They do have a wide selection of
cheddar and perhaps they hsould stick to that and let Neal's Yard deal with
variety.
I could go on for hours about cheese, so what's new . .
