My other half is rather partial to Stinking Bishop. Cathy ----- Your children won't remember you ironing their pyjamas but they will remember you reading them a bedside story.    Report

I never realised until recently just how different cooked goats cheese tasted and I have been eating slices of this, quickly dry fried  and on top of a green salad. It smells awful but tastes divine.    Report
