Re: A marmite question
A Pont-l'Évêque will surely set off every airport security alarm known to man! I remember my dad trying to bring one home to the UK from a holiday in France - Mum made him tie it to the roofrack, she wouldn't have it inside the car. I love how it smells strong enough to put off the unsure, leaving all the more of the beautiful smooth creaminess for those who know better... yum yum.

My curiosity (nay, downright indignation at the unfairness of it all) doesn't make me any less full of indescribable jealousy, though.

I have a complete round of raclet cheese in the car. French but I can't be more specific. That came from the aforementioned market this very morning.

It's one of those cock-ups on the communication front. We went to a work do at a raclette/fondue place. She seemed to enjoy it.
On reflection, we have three fondue sets. We don't use them either.
It works both ways. Last Christmas I got a golf bag from the MIL, obviously because there was evident interest on my part in playing golf. That evidence was 30 minutes on a driving range near here.
The bag is useful for storing garden tools.

How do they manage that, then? I thought Pont-l'Évêque was one of these AOC things, with protected status and only allowed to be manufactured in the immediate area. Isn't Isigny the other side of Caen and Bayeux from Pont l'E?
