Nicking Consumer testing a bit of Comte from the fridge, I got to wondering which out of cheese or chocolate I could not live without. I think in my case it would be cheese, but what do you think?
(And isn't it strange that they both wreck diets and both begin with "ch" - as does chardonnay!!!) smile

moomin you are a better woman than me - I don't share my chocolate with anyone - not ever!!!! I hide it as well.

That's a relief, when - I was imagining all sorts! grin

Although I am partial to a bit of Green and Black's - any flavour will do!

nightowl Wed 08-Aug-12 22:20:06

No Ana he hadn't been with the gas men - he works in psychiatry. He reckons the combination of strong cheese and that particular wine did it.

Cheese for me.

My dear old mum would have said chocolate. She loved her Frys Turkish Delight bar sandwiches. Yep the whole bar between bread and butter, revolting to think about but actually not horrible to eat, weird though.

Cheese goes better with Pinot so it has to be cheese. Followed by Greens 85% dark choc.

nightowl Wed 08-Aug-12 21:42:38

Well so far jingl it looks as though it's just you and me for the chocolate. Fight you for the galaxy grin

Who are the 'gas men'? confused

johanna Wed 08-Aug-12 21:38:08

when is he sure it is the cheese?
Or maybe he had to spend the day with the " gas men ?". grin

My son found some Barolo cheese which he really liked, so ate a lot. He swears it made him squiffy!

I've tried that mixture Humbertbear and was not impressed at all reminded me of a mud pudding confused I do love any strong cheese though,when I go to Chester shopping there is a fab cheese shop who always a specialist cheese of the week mostly made by small business's I love to stop and try the samples and always come away with a few new types to try.

I have given up cheese and chocolate. I know - its unbelievable but both give me migraines. For those addicted to both, have you tried a famous brand of cream cheese now mixed with chocolate?

greenmossgiel Wed 08-Aug-12 20:17:21

I love cheese, any cheese - the stronger the better, though! I love chocolate too, but it tends to make me rather plump....! grin

moomin Wed 08-Aug-12 20:01:18

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate smile

Chocolate! Definitely.

Smaller GS has gone to bed and donated the rest of his large bag of Minstrels to me! sunshine Trouble is, I know he'll want them back in the morning! hmm

Blue cheese - Stilton, Gorgonzola, Cashel Blue... and various ones I've encountered on holiday and have no idea what they're called. The really stinky sheep's ones in Corsica are great but are never seen outside the island.

One foot in Stilton country and one in Gruyères/Comté - definitely the best of both smile

johanna Wed 08-Aug-12 19:14:43

They make a lot of fabulous cheese in my old home country.
They make a lot of fabulous cheese in France.
They make a lot of fabulous cheese in Italy.
And so on, and so on.

But the King of cheese has to be Stilton.
For me anyway.

Ariadne Wed 08-Aug-12 17:34:06

Oh cheese, definitely! Almost everything apart from very strong blues.
