Lady G:

"I love smoked cheese too. I dont like the cheese with the blue through it. Is that gorganzola......"

Gorganzola is the Italian version of Danish Blue Cheese. I find it sweeter than the tangy Danish Blue Cheese, but good on salads.

Well...maybe I will give it another try. ON SALAD

Yes I am a townie BUT it was a lady farmer in Canada at the Agricultural Show I visit annually, with my students. She was adamant that sheep can and ARE milked. Now why would she tell my little darlings a lie every year I take a class.

(Why do people always assume farmers are men - question mark)

I now live in and work in a farming area....mind you...I never see any sheep.

OK...I will challenge her for proof next time I take a class, in October.....she will have to milk one in front of us so that I can come back and tell you all. OK I will try to remember to do so.

You did say Lambs lady G

I do NOT like cottage cheese. Whats with THAT stuff. No taste. Hmm! No taste! Makes me wonder why I dislike it then.

Now. Now!

There's a challenge for the wizened oul bag, I predict a visit from the Canadian RSPCA, the Mounties, Child Protection Agency, the Education Board and Farm Fondlers Fortnightly.


Do let us know how you get on.... Or off.

The wizened ould bag being the farmer of course, not you.

Go Google it! I am on my way there right now.....

Mouse cheese is quite rare, so I'm told.

But apparently it has a distinctive bouquet and flavour.

Similarly vole cheese.

Very expensive.

OK you lot! Maybe this will quieten you down - probably NOT because you will all say it is FAKE just to win the 'discussion'.

Straight from Google:

Abbaye de Belloc (in France, Abbaye de Bellocq, but both names are used in English) is a French, traditional farmhouse, hard cheese from the Pays Basque region, made from unpasteurized sheep milk. The cheese was first made by the Benedictine monks of the Abbaye de Notre-Dame de Belloc from milk from the local flocks of sheep. Abbaye de Belloc is made in a 5 kg fat wheel with a natural, crusty, brownish colored rind with patches of red, orange and yellow. The cheese was founded by Benedictine monks. For centuries they have made their cheese from milk, produced in the locality. The cheese has a firm, dense, rich and creamy texture. The taste resembles burnt caramel and there is a distinctive lanolin aroma.

Texture - Semi hard

Milk - Ewe

Country - France



So....what hast thou to sayeth meinen bloken por favor?

BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH.


Ewe said "Lamb"

Ha!!

On second thoughts..... BaahBaahBaahBaahBaah!

The Cheese Shop (Monty Python)

The Cheese Shop

Fergus dear boy (if indeed you are male) I have ONE word to say to you:


blahblahblahblahblahblablblahblahblahahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahhblahblahblah

Thought I could edit. Never mind.

I loved the Monty Python sketch even though it's a bit cheesy.

Love all their stuff.

Did you know that mice don't like cheese? Stick 'chocolate' in your traps (your 'mouse traps I mean) and you'll catch the little buggers.

Are any of you getting bits chopped off?
My sentences seem to be slightly amputated
of late. Incredulous!

As a precaution to premature amputation
I am typing shorter sentences.

Is it worth my extremely valuable time
contacting the Administrative personnel
or should continue to curtail my comments?

And we shouldn't forget Hilaire ('Hairy' to his mates) Belloc who wrote many a great line including these to which I have made an addition or two

Tarantella

DO you remember an Inn,
Anne-Marie?
Do you remember an Inn?
And the tedding and the bedding
Of the straw for a bedding,
And the fleas that tease in the High Pyrenees,
And the wine that tasted of tar?
And the cheers and the jeers of the young muleteers
(Under the vine of the dark veranda)?
Do you remember an Inn, Ane-Marie,
Do you remember an Inn?
And the cheers and the jeers of the young muleteers
Who hadn't got a penny,
And who weren't paying any,
And the hammer at the doors and the din?
And the smell of lamb's cheese
Wafting on the breeze?

and cetera....

Oh yes! I remember the Inn dear thing,
I do remember the Inn.
I remember the stench
Of the beer-toting wench.
I remember the smell
Of the man from the well
As he brought me the cheese
And I started to sneeze.
Oh yes! I remember the Inn dear thing.

Was it Lynton I saw
In the dim light of yore?
Was it Lynton or just the ghost
Of Mein Host?
I just cannot figure
Why he didn't deliver
When I'd waited so long
And I'd watched my figure.
It's really a puzzle
Why he didn't nuzzle
My neck in that Inn - dear thing - dear thing.
Oh yes! I remember the Inn.


(I just love rhyming - in case you didn't notice )

Isn't it wonderful where something as simple as Lamb's cheese can lead

It surely is amazing Lynton.

But why are our sentence ends being chopped off?

Do fancy starting up a poetry thread for silly stuff. I can't do the DUB stuff. I've tried.

Back to cheese, we have 'headcheese' over here but it's not cheese at all....it's meat....I think it's the Canadian version of 'brawn' in England form what I can 'see'. I haven't tasted it yet. 28 years and I can't bring myself to taste the stuff.

Anyone else heard of 'headcheese' - probably Americans have.

Yes I have heard of it, don't think it is made from the head or ears of the animal either these days though you could if you wish.

It is term for jellied meat or meat in aspic if you are a gourmand.

You can make yourself by boiling pigs feet with salt, peppercorns, garlic, diced carrots.

Take meat off bone, discard skin and bones and refrigerate meat, broth and carrots.

Serve with lemon.

So what does 'headcheese' taste like, if bought from a store?

Not as good but OK, a bit like corned beef out of a can.

I just posted a dub poem parody of Linton's Londin Isa Bitch

Strangely enough it is something I like - my nan taught me how to make it using a pigs head. I still make it from time to time but the trouble is half a head makes a helluva lot!

Reminds me of when my dad said he was sent to the butcher's as a little lad, to buy a sheep's head and his mam told him to tell the butcher to leave the EYES in coz it had to see 'em through the week


Aah! The old ones are definitely the good ones!

A classmate from Iran told me the head was the best part of the animal.
