Quel Fromage!

[caddyman]

Due to the end of something important, or the completion of a landmark piece of policy or something, someone has brought in some Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Well, it would have been rude to go through the morning ignoring someone’s largesse, so I have just scarfed one down. My, my, they do have a different chemical composition to other doughnuts, don’t they?

Tomorrow is the start of GASPs and a four-day weekend for me. At lunchtime I have to nip along to Tachbrook Street in Pimlico and purchase the cheese supplies for the weekend. I haven’t given the chaps much choice in the matter over the past 20 years, largely confining myself to varying the amount of Stilton, depending upon how much I think I can get away with. Over the past few years the selection has been Stilton, Berkswell and Coolheeney, and in the past two, Vacherin.

This year I decided to tout for opinions and it seems that Stilton and Vacherin are definitely still on the menu, plus another soft cheese, so I guess the Coolheeney stays, too. A vote was put in for a nice hard Dutch cheese of some kith, kin or kine, so that might spell the demise of the Berkswell, a nice hard, appley sheeps’ cheese.

I don’t think that we get through enough cheese between us these days to justify a selection of five, but I shall muse upon it.

I shouldn’t have eaten that doughnut; I can see through time and space.

Might there be room in your shopping bag for a small piece of Berkswell for me? *big eyes*

Just a small piece....

Hmmm...

A small piece of Berkswell, you say..?

See me resist the temptation to suggest you knock Bryan on the bonce and watch the berk swell.

Or not resist it...

Yes - in much the same relationship that Hershey does to any sort of edible chocolate.

Ah yes, Hershey's.

Processed dog vomit.

Well said, that man.

You're the new Timelord! I didn't see that one coming :P

[caddyman.livejournal.com]

Fantastic!

Maasdammer, while not "hard", is quite nice (nutty) and has funky holes in it.

More exotic is Leidse, which has a cummin flavour, and there is also a Frisian one with cummin and whole cloves.

But you've probably scampered off to the Cheese Emporium by now ...

Oh my - CHEESE!
Stinking Bishop, if left out the fridge for an hour or so before eating is delightfully gooey and squishy.

[caddyman.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Stinking Bishop and I are old friends.

I must renew the acquaintance...

Okay, Bry, you must tame to some sort of cheese emporium, next time we meet, where I can taste all these different kinds. This is jolly intriguing, especially with everyone's suggestions. I might draw the line at runny stuff though...
