I've always said that if a serial killer was chasing me I'd just turn around and surrender - they're going to catch me anyway so why die petrified and exhausted?
Elaborate Cheeseboard Day - aha, at last!
A perfect opportunity to use our cheese baking platter Christmas gift from Pops and Olive so we bought a nice brie to start with and then went to The Cheeseboard and bought some cheeses and crackers we'd never normally buy.
So here we have (from top left);
Morbier
Soft and sweet, from the village of Morbier in the Fanche-Comte region of France. The black stripe in the middle used to be made using a layer of ash to divide the morning milk from the evening milk, now vegetarian dye is used instead.
Wyngaard Goats Gouda
Creamy Dutch goat Gouda is very white with a smooth texture and full flavour.
Char coal
Michael Lee Fine Cheeses Company in West Yorkshire make these cheeses (Cheddar, smokey cheddar or spicy cheddar) blended with charcoal.
Cornish Yarg
Light, creamy (and crumblier towards the middle) mold ripened cheese wrapped in nettle leaves, handmade at Lyburn Dairy, Cornwall.
Red Windsor
Marbled pink cheddar with port and brandy.
Green Thunder
Creamy mature cheddar with wild garlic and herbs, from the Snowdonia Cheese Company.
Accompanied by;
Poppy and sesame seed biscuits
Sesame and pumpkin seed flatbreads
Sweet malted wheat crackers
Charcoal crackers
All butter Gruyere and poppy seed twists
Lemon and herb olives
Oh, and a bottle of red wine, of course.
Here's a close up of the Char Coal!
