Speaking of Cheeses

Neal's Yard? Heck no, that's a tourist mecca just off covent garden, they make some nice stuff but it's no formagerie. Place I'm talking about is a touch south-west of Piccadilly.

Jaguar - there is a really nice cheese shop off Marlybone High Street... wish I remembered the name, but it's right off the high street, not even up half a block... quite a nice place. I could spend HOURS in there.

I am fascinated by cheese - so many neat things you can do with it, but honestly, I can't stand the stuff... it's gross. I did have some really good cheese this summer - it's a french cow's milk cheese that has a rind coated in ash... very nice. The name escapes me, but i'd know it if I saw it.

The only cheese I truly like is mozzerella... fresh or low-moisture, skim milk variety. The saltier the better.

Wolf, I agree with you on the string cheese with the Simpsons characters... it's the only brand I buy right now because they are amusing.

Didja ever try Humboldt Fog? It's a goat cheese with an ash layer and outer covering.... really, really good.

Thanks for the suggestion... I've never really ventured into the goat cheeses, but if i see that one, I'll check it out.
