Slow

Fumier noted that I hadn’t had a cheese post for a while.  True enough.  I haven’t had many posts of any kind for the last few weeks, due to lack of time.

Anyway, Cheese Slices (shown last week on TVB) was about the Cheese Festival in a place called Bra in Italy.  It seems that cheese producers from all over the world gather in this town every two years to promote their wares.  The next one is this September, so book your trip now!

The event is organized by the Slow Food movement.  To be honest, they sound a bit too serious and po-faced, but anyone who organizes a 3-day cheese festival can’t be all bad.

    OG – what is your view on cheese as part of a calorie-controlled diet? My view is that it is not fattening, but I find very little acceptabnce of this view among my Chinese rellies and friends.
    On the other hand, since my 34lb consignment of cheese (did I mention that, by the way?) arrived from Oz some weeks back, either my scales have gone awry or my lean, muscular frame has increased in weight by 10lb.
