Expat pleasures

We can get Cheddar here, and bring back and freeze Red Leicester and Double Gloucester. If you defrost these faily slowly, they keep their original consistency (give or take). Cathedral City is best, as it is wrapped in Britain and remains fresh, whereas normally imported Cheddar is often starting to go moldy.

The only Cheddar I can find here in Northern Germany is Cathedral City, it's all over the place! I'd love to find some other brands though.

I have also just discovered that the Galeria Kaufhaus in Hannover does sell real ale from the St Austell brewery, not cheap at over 3 Euros a bottle, but it is wonderful to drink a real ale again.

Crumbly Lancashire on toast for me. My mum used to make cheese and egg and cheese and onions with Lancashire cheese, in a metal dish.

OK, d'accord.

Caerphilly was a reference to you being in South Wales, but I see you've re-located again!

I'm going back to South Wales at the beginning of April for a while at least, now that the tan lines have been installed.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
