This was at lunch time and I noticed some people getting sandwiches pressed. They have a few different pre-made sandiches on focaccia, which they will press on request. It was wonderful. I can't remember all the ingredients but it definitely had mortadella, mozarella, tomatoes, and some greens (arugula?). All for a very reasonable $5.95. Oh and the stiltons look gorgeous by the way.

My only complaint is that I usually only buy them when I'm on the hoof, and they really make me want to drink a glass of wine.

I'd haul home a chunk of artisanal blue cheese, eat it (with a little bread and wine) for lunch, get sick. I'd buy a sandwich, eat it on the run, get sick. This process went on for well over a year (I lived nearby), not because I'm an actual idiot, but because I couldn't accept the idea that anything negative could be attributed to fabulous fresh cheese. Sigh. Now I find that if I just don't eat the dang stuff every day, I have a fighting chance. Oh, the suffering we do for the food we love. But yes, Murray's is fantastic.
