In cheese, have we found a foodstuff that all NPs like? Nobody's chimed up yet saying "yeuch, cheese, revolting"...

If we leave it at "cheese", then probably yes. But if we break it down, then I'm in the "I don't want/eat/can't bear squidgy, smelly, mouldy cheese" camp.

I like cheese too but I just can't get this excited about it.

Tonight Matthew, I had prawns cooked in a chilli sauce, rice with sweetcorn, carrot and green beans in it. Better than any cheese dish to me.

I don't mind the odd cheese n jam sandwich though :A

I eat more fish than anything else these days.

Sorry for not really being around NP

Just got in to have a message on my home phone stating that we have £14m budget as part of a joint venture for a music contest on December 1st :eek:.

We were expecting about £8m, so lets make Rotterdam special. We’ve got the Heineken Music Hall, so hopefully some free beer (I think you’ve got enough info without me giving the name away :cool::beer:

And I’ve got some smelly, squigdy, mouldy cheese that has just worked its way from the fridge to the bin, want me to fish it out PN?

How are we all?

I think more than half the fun of enjoying a fondue is seeing its largeness... seeing the huge pot of cheesy goodness slowly warming and being stirred... seeing the pile of bread and dreaming of how much you can scoff and scoff and scoff.... but the reality, for me, is that after 3-4 dips I'd be full

So, making a bit, in a ramekin, would be disappointing and would be minus the buzz and anticipation.

To spend my time, getting a small amount of cheese into a ramekin - and cutting up a bread roll .... makes me feel quite sad. It's a kind of loneliness torture. Fondues should be shared... and big. With people.

In my degree I attended a lecture which covered the microbiiology of food poisoning. It was pretty gruesome stuff and my fellow-students all swore they'd never consume anything in a restaurant apart from freshly-boliled water that was actually boiled in front of you!

Came back home in the holidays and was horrified that a house- guest had offered to make dinner for us all and had seen our unused fondue kit and had set us up with plates of raw meat to cook in the fondue and then eat from.:eek::(

Cheese fondue sounds fine though

Hahahahaha, I got the impression that you’re more cheesed off

On a separate work note, I’m hoping that they let Katya sing live at the Christmas thing this year, as I’ll be in Moscow on January 6th, at none other than this event! (Orthodox Christmas is in January).

C1R are annoying me a little bit with this now! :mad:

Well cheese is so diverse. Even people that don't like smelly savoury cheeses would probably like (or not mind) cheesecake

Well i can see that too. But generally i am a 'find a better solution'm and glass half full sort of person. So if i wanted the fondue i would bake half the cheese. Imo baked cheese with garlic tastes better anyway.:D

Mmmmmmm, meat fondu. Thats more fun.

Dh gets cross, because i always say a bit of food poisoning does me no harm. Those oysters a few christmases ago that saw me go to hospital on the day my parents had a party my in laws came to...that was pretty much the low point of food poisoning. A vomity few days doesn't strike the fear of hell into me though. A reckless approach that does me no good whatsoever. But though i suffer from what my mother calls bilious attacks i rarely get food poisoning.
