Yes please. Or possibly better make it half a sandwich.

Only if I could taste it.

Gus dear

I have made you a chilli and garlic tomato and onion soup with a blue cheese and black pepper crouton

I defy you not to taste it!

Very kind, but I have just established that I cannot taste gorgonzola piccante. At all.

I am hoping with Hitched Tenters that your sense of taste comes back soon, Dahlink

Why couldn’t this have happened while my mother-in-law was still alive?!

…and if that doesn’t evidence a complete lack of taste, I’m not sure what would, really;- )

Four cheeses to arrive, eh? Better set out with ten or so.

(Meanwhile it is about £4.50 to drive into town, park by the station while I take a train to That London, and drive back; taking a bus would have cost more than that each way, and there are about two buses an hour. It’s not that the car park is too cheap, either; there were plenty of spaces… but privatised buses can charge what they like because they have paid for route monopolies.)

Here has a daily bus that is no use to folk working in the county town or to school in the county town
We do however have lots of fresh air and first pick of any rain…

And the freedom to sinbathe when I can

This weather is more a hug the stove sort of weather…

In fleece and thermals

What are the Cellar’s views on Stinking Bishop? I have found it disappointing: sure, it absolutely honks, but the flavour is pretty one-dimensional ime.
Not meaning to be ungrateful, Twellsy, but an Époisses every time fer me.

Oooooooooh Époisses. The Instant Fondue Kit of the cheese world.

I have been in a pub in Birmingham (no food licence, bring your own) where even the staff were a bit disconcerted by my carefully-matured Berthoud’s.

Phew! What a day…

I’ve finally made it here in search of sanity. Yes I know, but it will be comparative sanity, believe me.

Oh Gus, still nothing. Can you smell at all?

Oh dear. That doesn’t sound good. Ready #1 and #2 back-up gin bowsers.

Nope.
Tell a lie. If I put nail-polish remover right under my nose, there is a very faint tang of the memory of acetone. But effectively, nothing.
