I do miss the choice available in the UK, especially the French and Italian cheeses but then I do miss lots of foody things from back home :(

Come on be fair. They may have had to travel to a different suburb.

Funnily enough, the Danish Blue here is cheaper than all the Aussie blues, and it's better.

Yes, I have noticed that the imnported Red Kidney beans from Italy, are much larger, much nicer and much cheaper than the locally grown ones.

Interesting...

Lord F: No way!
Kport: I'll give you three to one odds.
Lord F: No.
Kport: Five to one.
Lord F: No.
Kport: Ten to one?
Lord F: You're on!
Kport: I'm gonna get ya!

I do miss some of the spectacular cheeses to be had from Europe though. Many can be had here but cost big cojones!! I saw a chunk of Papillion Roquefort in a deli in Toombul for $132 yesterday! Couldn't have been bigger than 2 kg, probably less.
K, have you ever tried Fromage de Bite?

Oh hang on, he's a burger, he might not get what I'm going on about ;)

Loveliest cheese I have ever had has all come from Tassie. I had some really strange stuff there once too, strawberry cheese, fairly soft, and the most melt in your mouth flavour, absolutely gorgeous - came from a strawberry farm somewhere around Launceston :)

After all my gallbladder woes, I am finally recovered and I can happily state that cheese causes me no problems whatsoever (apart from weight gain of course). My Dr said there are no dietary restrictions at all.

We had a blue Tassie cheese when the family were over, that we now refer to as stable cheese - it smelt just like dirty farmyards but tasted yummy!

Full cream Bulgarian fetta is my fave or Haloumi in a toasted sandwich with sliced tomato - sweet as.

Years ago in England, I tasted a gorgeous cheese, it was pink in colour, looked like tinned corned beef and had a smoky bacon flavour. If anyone knows what it might have been then I'd love to know too.......??

Could it have been an old packet of smokey bacon crisps that somebody had thrown up in after a night out on the Rose wine and left out in the sun?
