Seems to me that the two of us should have opened our own shop years ago, stocking all manner of quality foods and assorted gorgeousness :) Cid Anne,

In Sorrento we tasted the most sublime cheeses (in a shop that sold nothing else) and I felt that Pecorino had the edge on Parmigano. We had chunks vaccum packed to take home and make the experience last a little longer. Somehow, one can never replicate these special moments as they need the ambience to go with it. I shall just have to return :). Anne Cid,

We've just had a shipment of Pecorino Romano in so I'm off to find a few recipes/ideas for customers. Cid Anne,

The stall holders invited people to taste them. They seem to expect that one needed to taste a cheese before purchase. I found this most helpful as I am not keen on very strong flavours. I agree with Cid that it is a very personal choice. Anne Miles,

This might sound like a 'cop out' but to be honest the only alternative I can think of right now is the French version!! I'll look into it when I get to work. Miles Laura,

I'm wondering if you can recommend anything like a Mont d'Or that is easier to come by. Everytime I've been in Geneva I always make sure to eat some, but I haven't been in a long while. Thanks, Laura Hi Miles:

I love our local applewood cold smoked goat chevre. I like your term "quirky" Miles. This cheese I'm talking about would be quirky. Served with an assortment of exotic olives and a nice Sauvignon Blanc. You're so right Cid, people should pick their own paintings, perfume and maybe even cheese. Hmmm? You have your Daniel Craig cheese, I'm wondering who this cheese would be? Delightful post! Melissa Miles,

Cheese is certainly an individual 'thing'. We have a very fruity Cumbrian cheese which I find too sweet but my Head Chef loves it. That said I pulled rank and it's off the menu :mrgreen: Miles Cid,
