Ah Hibbs, on that one, the H-E seems to be keeping schtum, or as Nettie would have it:



the hand/eye ain't listening/seeing


I have another question: Dear all seeing Hand-Eye, will I ever have dinner with people who can navigate a cheese board and don't cut the cheese so as to nab all the best bits for themselves?

Ah Rosie


Welcome back to the table of the fountain of knowledge.


The Hand-Eye? says....


There once was a woman who saw heaven and hell, but found they were nearly the same.

Each one consisted of a group of people sitting at a round table with cheese. But their chopsticks were way too long to eat cheese with! The difference was that people in heaven were always full of cheese and happy, while the people in hell were messin' with the cheese.

Yes.


Purgatory is a giant fondue of bubbling hot cheese maxxi, though i'm not sure it's limited to "Babybels" as i'm sure the odd cheese string or Bavarian Smoked slips in there.


Does that answer your question ?



H-E

Maxxi, maxxi, maxxi,


Rescind your anger, Smok/Bav is an unwilling criminal in the cheese world.


I'm much more furious with Red Leicester; which is neither red nor from Leicester.

RosieH. Please note, the nose is cut from this cheese.


The H-E

aaah, Red Leicester - the permatanned chav of the cheese world.


This particular example bears the seam and creases of a vacuum-packed portion, a bit like a teenager's bedroom - all sweat, greasy skin and a smell of old vomit. The laughing cow must be turning in her grave.


Re Bavsmochee I refer you to the hollanderish cheese-eating classes - "Cheese that is deemed not fit to eat in Holland (all Bavarian smoked cheese, for example) is fed to the cats"


eta: and it comes in LOGS!

I have a question of social etiquette.


"don't nose the cheese" can only apply to cheeses with non constant features eg blue cheese which have more concentrated centres? I have worked this out as my own theory over time, but cant see the logic in people taking a "side strip" of a constant cheese like camembert....


I'm sure Rosie Cheese will put me right.

Ah Franky-poos


The H-E is resting ( actually she's cuffed to my side )


I'm sure she'll glam up later for a shot though.


Nette:)

    • Yes, still odd. Their information seems mostly to have come from the social media post referred to above. And, as you say , reported "cautiously".
    • I have taken books to the Oxfam book shop in Herne Hill in the past and found they had a limit on how many bags they would accept from one person, so worth checking in advance if they have any current restrictions, don't want to lug a heavy bag out of the car and be told they won't accept. I was able to park nearby - in the side street on the other side of the road, but I do know it's luck of the draw how far down that street you have to go to get a space.
    • I would phone ahead to check whether they are accepting donations. I’ve been in the shop a couple of times over the past few years and seen people turned away with book donations. There are a few parking spaces outside the row of shops there and it’s sometimes pot luck but I’ve usually parked ok. Let us know how it goes Sue.   l
    • Hussein and his team have just finished painting our main reception room, kitchen and hallway throughout the house. We also threw a few extra curve balls in while we were away like painting the front door, garden walls and helping fit some new lights. Hussein is a pleasure to deal with: professional, diligent, trust worthy, flexible and a really nice bloke. This is the second time we have worked with him and will definitely do so again.
