Stilton is a very smelly English blue cheese. Shall I post you some? I think your american mail room would take one look at it and yell germ warfare :D (Do you know what Roquefort is? It's a bit like that, but not french and therefore better ;) )

eeew, my face is wet now
Icky ;) Thanks though :D
Is Stilton as dry as Roquefort cheese? Hubby loves the taste of it, but I don't like its crumbliness :rolleyes:
Perhaps, I'll ask the British Shoppe on base about it :) (RAF building) Yep, truly international, we is :D :D Tiny, but bigger than the "Canada store" :)

Sounds intriguing.....
don't dribble on your keyboard, it might cause some trouble for your computer, of which I know doesn't have the good taste you have ;) :D

Hi 9th,
This is generally my Xams soup in fact is quite regularly my Sunday soup. Had a look at the recipe from Sara and this is near enough how I make it. Sometimes lees cheese and wine.
Yummmmmmy..

Doesn't Marks & Spencer do it? Get a few cartons and pretend it yours - talking of M&S and soup - try their organic White Onion and Cider soup - its scrummy! I can make good Lentil soup myself though - not always shop bought!

9th might be one of those odd persons who actually like to cook/create in the kitchen.
:rolleyes:
What a rare breed indeed, if she is ;) :D

I do like rare breeds. Just look at my choice of the TH :p
I do like to cook a lot though and I'd feel way too guilty to pass something off as my own if it wasn't. I had a strict mother and so I'd be scared of being found out.

Surprisingly, our local Safeway sells Stilton, sometimes in little ceramic pots. I say "surprisingly" because our local S/w is a strong contender for the "Worst on Earth" title.
Another nice thing you can do is to scoop out a little well in the centre of the cheese, then pour in a slug or two of port.
Yum yum yum yum hic
