Prunes. Warmed prunes (pitted) and smeared with blue. Unbelievable.
-
Way to rehabilitate the humble prune..
-
Nothing goes to waste in my larder ;-)
-
Also, prunes wrapped in strips of bacon, stick a toothpick through to hold it together and grill and heat in oven (200) for 5-8 minutes, and nom nom nom

Classic kiwiana cuisine, Shirley..
-
Classic 'devils on horseback' Mark - I'm told by my meat-eating sibs that wrapping the prunes in genuine prosciuto is even better...
I've eaten quite a bit of Stilton over the years,* but find I much prefer a milder blue vein...I have, incidentally, a stoneware jar containing a (now)40yr old Stilton - kept in the fridge on the advice of the maker who gave it to me. I'm a bit frightened to ever open it....
*It is really great with good port & nuts- but so is Moeraki Blue-
-
Port - now you're talking. Another hedonism thread. Is there any particular cheese that suits a single malt?
-
Sacha, the only cheese I've ever found to go with a single malt is crowdie (plain, not herb) on very thin oatcake farls - and, seriously, that works OK!
-
Ta for the tip. Another two words (and substances) I have never encountered.
-
Both well worth the meeting! (Okay, I grew up with them, but they truely are goodies...)
-
hey! Even tho it's a "Not Helping thread, i'll add Walnuts, blue vein, apples and cramalised onion and tommato paste on pizza base. yummy :)
-
O gawd Sofie! That does it! Off to do some cooking, dribble dribble drool-

Ah, that's what they're called. Cool. Me, I just eat 'em ;-)

Orly? My local butcher makes his own prosciutto. Mmmm...
-
Personally I prefer angels on horseback, but they're a bit pricier.
Never mind what cheese goes with what, can anyone help me in locating the two foods I really, really miss from the UK (I went a bit native during our OE): pork & stilton sausages, and decent haggis. Both available at most supermarkets I went to in the UK, neither of which I've seen here in the last three years. ??
-
decent haggis
I've only tried it locally, not in Scotland, but my experiences to date have indicated that this is an oxymoron.

not really on topic, but...
don't you just love the Luck Country, circa "1984"?Banned hyperlinks could cost you $11,000 a day
The Australian communications regulator says it will fine people who hyperlink to sites on its blacklist, which has been further expanded to include several pages on the anonymous whistleblower site Wikileaks.
