Try goats cheese and wild mushroom risotto with loin of pork. Delicious.

I used to feel this way when I was younger.
I no longer do. You just need to be careful about ODing.

have you been to vivat bacchus
with the walk-in cheese room, it's one of my favourite winebars in london. absolutely brilliant.

Where is this place? I need to visit and compare it to Gordon's Wine Bar.

there's two.
i much prefer the farringdon one. you can also get platters of all sorts of meats (they do it by nationality) or proper hot specials, but it's the cheese room that wins. you go in, taste them all, and then choose some. they turn it into the most beautiful platter.

it's much better cheese and wine than gordons and much more comfortable. BUT it doesn't have the historic factor!

He has to acquire some real life friends first.
This could prove tricky.

i LOVE goats cheese
but it has to be hot and melty, not cold.

and the white rind has to get lost. i spend my life picking the white rind off pizzas.

Brie = posh Dairylea

Brie de Mellon is delicious.
Brie de Meaux is very good.
'street Brie' is rather pointless but inoffensive, I find.

Pfft, 'street brie'
I found somewhere that does that Colston Bassett stilton on your recommendation, by the way - it was excellent.
