Hi Nell,
I'm glad to hear that! I made Indian Cheese once but that's really easy. Now a good Cornish Yarg or a Smoked Cheddar would be an excellent project to undertake.

I'm not too far from Melton Mowbray and Pork Pie is very much a guilty pleasure.

Very pricey, but I'm addicted! I may have to turn to a life of crime to support my habit, 'holding up' farmer's markets to raise the cash for one more 'cold crust' kick! I'd go cold turkey as long as I could have a side portion of green tomato chutney and a slab of Red Leicester.

Lol! Thanks for pointing that out to me Pilsbury. Tut I thought Nell meant 'pricey meaning expensive' I'm a bit of a thicky on computers and didn't realise it was a link.

Hi dpack,
Yes I had that problem a couple of months ago. My two Labs running and swimming over most of Dartmoor and the sea just off Wembury.

When they are not running and swimming like a pair of loonies they are deer tracking dogs, silently moving through the forests and fields trailing the deer's scent so that I can bag some venison. The dog's nose is better than my aged eyes.

Wow Pricey's Pork Pie looks great. Reminds me of the old film 'Great Expectations' when Pip stole the massive pork pie out of his sister's pantry and gave it to Magwitch. Proper pork pies!

Hi 12Bore.
I'm really enjoying myself already. I've looked at pork pies and cheese making and I'm now looking for advice on making a British National Beehive.

Hi from a very hot & humid Midi region

Lots of rain, lots of sun makes everything very green here

Hi Mousjoos,

France! Lovely. I've only travelled North France and Belgium, but the food and the lifestyle is inspiring.

Very true, but if you're expecting inspirational cuisine don't come south

It's duck, duck, duck with duck, Cassoulet...usually with bits of duck, & the worst charcuterie in the civilised world

Apart from that, the food's ace, but you can't get a decent curry anywhere outside of Toulouse

That's why we have a garden & grow our own chooks
