The recipients like all kinds of cheeses. Tue Feb 10 10:18:55 -0800 2004 0 Captain Falkenberg 1 1394355 Let them guide you. They will give you lots of stuff to taste My own faves are isle of Mull cheddar Montgomery Cheddar Applebee's cheshire Kirkham's lancashire Ticklemore Gubeen (sp?) Stinking Bishop Oh, and try their fantastic feta kept in a barrel by the door S Tue Feb 10 10:26:21 -0800 2004 1394354 0 Simon Majumdar 1 1394356 I particularly like the Adrahan, and the farmhouse cheddars. Tue Feb 10 10:26:44 -0800 2004 1394354 0 Nina W. 1 1394366 I you have a chance to taste, you might want to see if they carry any of the Lanarkshire blue cheeses. Ive seen them occasionally in London, but never in the US. The local cheesemonger in my mo-on-in law's village in Scotland use to drive them up from Glasgow (at least a 6 hr drive for him), and they were superb. Both sheep and cow's milk blues (raw milk) are made in that area - it was long enough ago that I am not sure which we had, but boy were those cheeses good!

And the shop itself has many other choices...the little fresh goats, the soft ripened cheeses, etc don't make it to our shore.
