Well, too bad. Eat some. Blue cheese is food of the gods. Stilton is
heavenly.
Broccoli and Stilton soup is ambrosia.

J'adore gorgonzola.

On the other hand, fish is vile.

You poor thing. Must've had a traumatic encounter with a fish stick at
an early age.

Nah, it was a combination of my mother's sadistic egging on of a lobster to
walk toward me, a vulnerable 4 year old and the fact that she deep fried
almost everything to do with other fish and, frankly, having had to eat the
stuff when the menu was under her control, once I wrested control of my menu
from her clutches I eat it only when forced to.

And how come no one remembered that old joke about the woman who was offered a
choice of port or sherry at a literary party. She replied, "Sherry, of course.
Sherry is ambrosia, it makes me shiver with delight as I watch it being gently
decanted into my glass, the light shimmering in the folds of liquid cascading
from the bottle into the container; the odour is divine, reminding me of the
odour of the most beautiful flowers of the fields. The taste! Ah, the taste is
like liquid diamonds and rubies on the tonght; the liquid flows down my throat
so smoothly as to just barely touch my tonsils and lubricate my vocal cords
just enough to allow the most witty words to trip from my tongue. On the other
hand, port makes me fart."

We were in Cardiff this weekend and I resolutely set my face away from Harry
Ramsden's toward a place where I could have a burger.
