Yea, I've seen that in Whole Foods market. Neal's Yard stilton made me giggle.

Neal's Yard is a shop, not a manufacturer

We are a small dairy near Dorstone, overlooking the Wye Valley, Herefordshire. We make fresh and mould-ripened cheeses. yoghurts and creme fraiche. I have owned and run the Creamery since 1990.

Originally we were the same company as Neal's Yard Dairy

Neal's Yard Creamery

I presume that's what's being sold here under the Neal's Yard label. In any case it is very good.

Well the cheese I saw in LA was called Neal's Yard Stilton. Stilton cannot come from Herefordshire. What I saw looked like a load of crumbs and offcuts of stilton from the shop all squashed together and re-badged for the USA. and I giggled when I saw it.

So it was easy for me to presume you were being sold something similar. Sorry

I cannot believe this huuuge discussion on cheese!!! :)))
I think that next time that I will want to write something, I will just write a whole bunch of random words and see which ones get elaborated on the most.... LOL.

But where else would you have war declared over the design details of Finnish cheese ? And is a design ever finnished or merely abandoned ?

Maybe we should ask certain parties whose idea it was to get off at the wrong metro station so that we had to walk 50 miles through a raging hurricane in the first place ? One that suspiciously stopped when we arrived at the restaurant.

Okay, okay, I admit, it was me! But I really had no idea it was so damn far... you guys made it seem like it was "just around the corner"!

French hurricanes - the 50 mile hike (none / 0)

Well, if it hadn't been for the hurricane, it would have been a pleasant stroll of what...a kilometre ? Less ?

As it was it was a bit of a trial, especially for Johnny. We'll know next time.
