Cheese?! Who has cheese? Why wasn’t I invited again? I don’t think I like you Brits any more. I’m running away with the Sergios! They’d be nice enough to share with me, unlike some people who shall remain nameless…Miguel and Ssssue.
Mick, start up the engagement party! I promise not to contribute American cheese slices.
Oh very dear… NorasMom wars have been fought over the very notion that America has odd plastic dairy by products that they call cheese . Please leave any cheese provisions to the European cheesmeisters. No offence intended and thanks for offering . Mouldy Mick PS I JUST NOTICED THE WORD “NOT” IN YOUR POST SO PLEASE IGNORE MY UNGRACIOUS COMMENT !!
Ha ha or is it je je? Guess who just found a local supplier of Black Bomber cheese? I’m so happy I will have to open some wine M
Hmmm, Black Bomber or Red Storm. Which is the loveliest cheese of all? Both? Probably. Luckily I have access to both. I’d still rather like to try Ruby Mist though!
(For the uninitiated cheeses made in Wales by the Snowdonia Cheese Co - blinking gorgeous)

Once the cheese orgy got underway we got the Comte out of the fridge…
I will pay later, I don’t think that cheese is that good for me, but worth the hit.

Jeje Miguel!
lol, Mick. It is incredibly hard to find even fairly decent cheese here. If we’re lucky, we can do Muenster, cheddar, and colby-jack, but that’s about it unless you go to a specialty store.
But I’ve always loved cheeses. One year, when I was about 7, the Easter Bunny brought me a basket of nothing but cheese, and I was in Heaven!
Mum has just suggested that my contribution to the party should be moonshine and my great-grandmother’s recipe for pumpkin pie. Two American foods that go (sort of) well with cheese.
Peasants all of you. REVOLTING…i am anyway.
the best cheese is Italian. I have family in gorgonzola… we would sit on the veranda eating gorgonzola with fresh figs and a nice glass of Frascati. Viva Italia…
My mum and dad on the left.
Did your mum like to feed everyone who came to the house, regardless of the time of day? I’ve often thought I was Italian or Jewish in a past life, because I like to feed people and have trouble cooking for just one or two. When my boy would come home from college, he’d yell at me for trying to feed him the whole time. Mum still yells at me every holiday, because I always make enough food for three times as many people as we have.
I like mozzarella, but we do cottage cheese instead of ricotta, and I’ve only had real Parmesan one time. Americans tend to use the dried stuff in jars.
My best memories are xmas. Yes xmas lol.
Mum would make fresh pasta for lasagne. Now unless you have had my mums any other is just fake lol.
she would take ages rolling it out into SHEETS. Yep big size. then she would lay cloth sheets on her big bed and lasagne would be lain there to rest. We knew we were in for a treat. Our meals would last for hours. If we had visitors the house was always full of love and laughter.
Meals were considered the most important time of the day where we would all sit and just try to out talk each other, and dad at the head of the table like shouting ORDER ORDER LOL.
the younguns would be allowed a small amount of wine with water. there were six of us.
Out of all my large family and extended italian family i am the only one with MS, thankfully.
There is nothing like a mediterraean feast lol. xxx
sounds brilliant
