Nom, nom and nom.

Not then followed by waffer theen mints.
i sometimes have a hard time with the fact that I am so emotionally effected by objects. but seriously how can i not feel emotional when something is this beautiful
Four-year-old Aaron Ian Read takes a bite out of the World’s Greatest Cheeseboard featuring over 150 different British cheeses. The cheeseboard has been created to show the variety and quality of British cheese as British Cheese Board research reveals the UK public’s lack of knowledge about the cheese made on its doorstep. For further information please contact Ed Callow 020 7612 8860, Lucy Dormandy on 0207 612 8840 or email british.cheese@kindredagency.com. Photo by: Adrian Brooks
Guest speaker, beer writer Glenn Payne tells us about the cheeseboard. But not in this shot. I forgot to take a photo. It's not easy taking pics of your dinner in public, but hey.
So, what you would have seen is a neat, un-American-sized cheeseboard, with three un-American cheeses, and three tasting samples:
9. Ommegang Rare Vos Pale Ale (6.5% Belgian-style pale ale)
10. Brooklyn Black Ops/Stilton (10.5% Bourbon-aged imperial stout)
11. Samuel Adams Stony Brook Red (9% Flemish-inspired red ale.)
We are invited to mix and match with three cheeses whose exact names I didn't take. I did note, though, which cheese worked best with which beer:
Farmhouse Cheddar (Friends with the malt, citrus and spices of 9.)
Stilton (The salt loves the bourbon-backed malt deepness of 10.)
Goat cheese (Creamy and mildly acidic, lifted and complemented by the tart rhubarb of 11.)
But really, the interplay of these could take up an entire post.
A series of small wooden cheeseboards have different cheeses on them: an orange rind with blue mould, a white cheese covered in ash, a cheese crusted with herbs and a large wheel of hard cheese with a tough rind. Behind the cheeses, a woman with a knife cuts the orange and blue cheese. She wears a black T-shirt reading "Blessed are the Cheesemakers"

An old cheese grater complete with a grated mouldy cheese map of the UK. My photographic metaphor of the current state of “Grate” Britain.
Photo completely inspired by one I saw in Berkeleyside a few months ago. I thought the moon and car trails would be interesting to add

Acton (a little like my home town of Croydon) isnât really associated with good food and drink, and on these grounds is often ignored by foodies. Whether that is true or not (and Iâd contest making that kind of judgement about ANY area!), there is at least one interesting thing for the gastronomically inclined to be found in Acton (well, two - if you count an Ancient Roman themed Italian takeaway called Hadrian'sâ¦)
As you have probably guessed, that âthing' is Vindinista, and having been there for one too many glasses of wine with my good friend and fellow wine writer Tim, I would like to tell you about it.
Vindinista is essentially a wine bar. And a tiny one at that (âtiny bar, huge attitude). I donât know how many they sit, but it canât be more than 30. Nothing too unusual there, right? Itâs what they serve thatâs interesting. The motto at Vindinista is âwine liberationâ. They have a pretty eclectic selection of vino (lesser known producers, styles, regions & grapes) and they focus (in their own words) on âwines off the beaten pathâ. The list changes very regularly, and many of these lesser known wines are available by the glass too (joy!). Vindinista is owned by Paola Tich - a wine blogger of some note. We didnât get to meet her, instead spending time with a slightly Rockabilly Kiwi guy called Stacey.
Theyâre open Tuesday-Sunday, 5pm-late, and are walk in only. Theyâre also very popular with the locals - we saw plenty of clearly familiar faces come and go in the time we where there. They clearly have their regulars â there were small groups of friends gathering together, couples on boozy excursions and a French waiter from fancy French bar who was very keen to play us some French pop music.
How about the food? Itâs bar food, on a par with the kind of stuff youâd get in a good gastropub (Modern British, mainly?). We had possibly the best cheese toastie ever conceived by man (black truffle + some indescribable voodoo), but look out for pork and duck charcuterie boards, potted shrimps from Upton Smokery and more cheeseboards. Basically these guys really love cheese. They apparently run the odd supper club as well, though I canât tell you too much about that.
Vindinista opened in February 2015, and is an offshoot of the Park+Bridge wine store (âyour neighbourhood wine shopâ - even when your neighbourhood is 20 miles away...) just across the road. And the great news about THIS is that if you find a wine that you really enjoy at Vindinista, all you need to do is wander across the road and pick up a bottle...
