Hi friends,
I had a terrible
week and I got totally fed up by Friday. It depresses me a lot when I look so
aged because of stress.
Rest
assured, darlings. I shan’t ruin the weekend by grumbling about what happened. Whatever
happened had happened. Now let’s move on.
To make me
happy, I went to Paxton & Whitfield in Stratford on Saturday. It is still
early for my beloved Mont d'Or (or some people
call it Vacherin du Haut-Doubs) but Brie, Camembert
and Roquefort are too normal and hardly exciting.
Pont-l'Évêque. Good choice, I
dare say.
As the name says, it is the cheese originally
made in the area of Pont-l'Évêque. It is probably the oldest Norman cheese in
production. Unlike other French soft cheeses, it is square in shape like this. I
have never seen the round one before, so I presume it could be one of the
characteristics of this cheese.
Yummmm…..
PS: How can I
forget this photo yesterday? The symbol of Stratford-upon-Avon.
Shakespeare’s
Birth Place.
