Was I in the wrong?

[QueenIsabella]

I am now the proud owner of a cheese knife set. It has four different types of blade, for use with different types of cheeses. They are nowhere near as pretty as the sets posted above. I am rather partial to cheese, particularly blue, goats and the stinkier the better. At this time of year, I go a little crazy and stock up with my favourites and whatever ‘new’ varieties that I like the look of. My visiting ‘children’ learn to open and close the fridge door quickly to avoid a fug of cheese wafting around the kitchen. A little selection of cheese, some bread and a glass of port. Heaven! However, Brexit looms and threatens my ongoing continental cheese selections.
I don’t know whether it is the same where you are, but here, even though the shops are only closed for one (Christmas) day or maybe two with Boxing Day, we all act as though we are at risk of starvation and stock up as though Armageddon is coming. This year the supermarket shelves are being stripped bare, because of ( the thing we are not mentioning), the French (ofcourse) and Brexit.

Yes, we all do this, too. I was thinking the same thing--I'm stocking up, making grocery lists like we're going to be stranded in the house for a month. It's one day. In my quasi-defense, I know the grocery stores will be crowded with people making last-minute purchases on Wed. and Thurs., so I don't want to be there. I do have a Walmart pick-up Thursday morning, and I'll have to swing by and pick up our standing rib roast that I ordered on the same trip.

Good luck on your "cheese search" as Brexit actually happens. I'm sure it won't be as bad as you fear.

I just had to come back to the thread to see how it got up to 5 pages

We've come so far, Samwise. It began with an angry lady, then veered off into the full gamut of cheeseballs, salmon balls, cheese cutlery, and even international affairs. Not a single one of us is the same person after all of this.

Cheese I'm guessing is way, way, way, down on that Armageddon shopping list even for Canadians!


Continue to stay safe, and sane..

I have done something similar to this with panettone. No cheese involved. It is an adaptation of bread and butter pudding.
