What a friend we have in cheeses

[nmg]

I think that we may have overdone the cheese board again:

• Fowlers Sage Derby
• Colston Bassett Stilton
• Pendle Forest Smoked Lancashire
• Lincolnshire Poacher
• Sparkenhoe Red Leicester
• Ilha Graciosa
• Pant-Ysgawn soft goats cheese
• A soft goats cheese with red peppercorns
• Smoked Pecorino
• Port Salut
• La Granja Manchego
• Emmental
• Davidstow Cheddar
• Hawes Kit Calvert Wensleydale
• A wedge of ripe brie
• Another Wensleydale (bog standard)
• Another Red Leicester (bog standard)
• Saint Agur
• Ilchester Mexicana

Also, membrillo and fig cheese from the Fine Cheese Co., oatcakes (smoked, peppered, and plain), four types of biscuit from the Fine Cheese Co. (chilli, rosemary, walnut, and mustard and black pepper), Bath Olivers, and a selection of lesser biscuits.

Re: We're lucky to get Kerrygold Cheddar

that green French one that they make out of sheep's milk in caves

Roquefort - lovely stuff.

the nasty brown one from Norway

Gjetost - the only cheese I dislike.

And anyway, you shouldn't mention 'Lincolnshire Poacher' too loudly, or Hugh's buddies in MI6 will be on to you. Spooky.

Indeed. There are widespread reports that it stopped transmitting last summer, so they probably won't be *too* upset.
