And talking of cheese did anyone know there is an etiquette to eating cheese?
When you are offered the cheese board don't commit a faux pas as i used to do by selecting a chunk of what looks tasty.
I often wondered why waiters would give me pitying looks and i overheard whispered comments of "she's english"
The way to do it is cut a little of a mild cheese and place it on your plate, cut a little of something stronger. Work clockwise around your plate with stronger and stronger cheeses until you finish with a small chunk of a strong cheese and have 4, 5 or 6 segments of cheese arranged around your plate.
Start enjoying from the mildest and work round.
