I heard about the Roquefort scandal (typical American attitude).<BR/><BR/>@Virginia.....something sweetish and heavy-ish to combat the sharpness of the Stilton and bring out the creamy side that you can clearly see in the photo. Hunt it down, V. But take careful and good advice before you dive in, if you are a novice in this area. This is a "big boys'" cheese.Chuckeroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06933397626094422959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-10343534251497024902009-01-26T12:20:00.000+00:002009-01-26T12:20:00.000+00:00Very nice!

Nerdy is my computer guru - and unfortunately he doesn't supply a beautiful wedge of Stilton. I'm doubtless totally missing the point but Cezanne painted apples, so why is it nerdy to photograph cheese and grapes? And if it's cos you are giving us the camera details, well you always do, not that all of us understand them, you understand! (You may note I don't always get jokes so someone can explain)<BR/><BR/><BR/>For some odd reason, you sometimes produce photographs that make me miss England and I rarely miss England. You've done it before with some of your magic river shots and especially the interior pub shots. Now you've done it again with the Stilton.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-61202795093771408762009-01-25T14:49:00.000+00:002009-01-25T14:49:00.000+00:00@Virginia...well, not to drink with the Siton, V. ...@Virginia...well, not to drink with the Siton, V.

Peter may note that this is not my favorite kind of cheese, so make sure you tell him I tasted it, and it was délicieux!
