niffy 6 August 2011
There are some smelly items to eat that are irresistible proving, I suppose, that you eat with smell as much as your tastebuds??. I am fond of runny cheese smelling of socks (several of the Irish Artisan ones are SO good) but if a cheesy smelly pair of socks was presented to me I very much doubt that I’d even bite into that once. I can’t do blue cheese at all, much as I approve of Stilton (for example) and that’s simply because my bod just does not want to eat mould, full stop. Today though, it took a vigary* for hard boiled egg, red onion and anchovies in oil – a lovely salad was constructed using these and all is well Chez McLynn as a result. Indeed, only yesterday, friend of mine yesterday opined that ‘salad is a dish best served cold’
*no idea how to spell this but it’s pronounced vigayree…
And, yes, I HONK now…tres niffy altogether…
