Jim, do you have to spike at Steve even when he's talking about cheese? Heavens!

+1 for not putting cheese in plastic. I take it out and wrap it in greaseproof paper (parchment in American, I think?)

Same with mushrooms - not the greaseproof paper, but the plastic; mushrooms go slimy if you leave them in plastic, so I take them out and put them in a bowl in the fridge, when they stay delicious as they dry gradually.

My favourite cheese is the top-selling cheese in France - Comté, pronounced kawntay, kinda. Strong, sweet, like I like my men ;)

I was out canvassing for the abortion referendum in Ireland the other day (I'm canvassing to get rid of Ireland's crazy abortion restrictions, which have caused such horrors) and was chatting to one of my co-canvassers, who was going home to make roast brie. The recipe he gave me: beat an egg, coat a triangle of brie in it and roll in breadcrumbs, roast till delicious (I think around 15 minutes was what he said), serve with vegetables. Haven't tried it yet, but he said it was delicious - crispy on the outside and soft and runny and sweet on the inside.
