That's the second time you've mentioned dangerous cheeses on here today Julie. Have you had a run in with a vicious babybell? Or had your eye out on the corner of a dairylea?

I l;ike this point.

that said we eat more ''dangerous'' stuff through pregnancy than American women, and the French women eat more ''dangerous'' food again than us while pregnant. Its hard to guage the true danger of an unpasturised cheese.

Economic crisis and a pandemic in such a short space of time. Add a meteor crashing in to earth or a good tsunami wiping out a whole coast line and you can die a happy man.

To be fair to amcluescent, I'd have thought that compared to the meteor crashing to earth you'd have got longer odds on Col Gaddafi dressing up as Michael Jackson on the History tour and hanging with the G8 honchos, but that's happened.

port salut is particularly nasty in the winter.

My cheese was rolled off to discussion time earlier on.

Seriously though, cheese is usually quite safe. I say that because many here are of a nervous disposition and will worry. Such people should avoid a sweaty Limburg if at all possible though.

Chesse rolling however is NOT safe. I'd say if I were healthy and pregnant I'd be more inclined to the french pregnancy diet than the american.

Man (at rear of crowd) "What did He say? 'Blessed are the cheese-makers'?"
Next man "It's obviously allegorical, He means anyone working in dairy-processing."

Just going to try to clean my digestive tract with alcohol, seems a sensible precaution really given the risks of a W shaped cheese flu pandemic.
