Last night, I was invited round to a friends for normal wednesday night get-together, and we were just going to have a light snack with wine. My friend and her husband have just returned from France, and they treated us to some lovely cheeses. I took along some crackers, parma ham, chorizo and some lovely little cherry tomatoes. We had a great time, chatting, drinking and eating..
Oh how could I forget these...
UPDATE:- Photo sent, it is the top one!!
little 'snack-meals' like this are my favorite. Nothing beats wine, cheese, and friends.
ReplyDeletehe, he... I was just asking for cheese for my whine and you provided. French cheese too!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious :-)
ReplyDeleteOlives.. something I have grown to love since meeting Geoff.. sounds like a great night :-)
ReplyDeleteI love cherry tomatoes with cheese-that combo is my favorite. My best loved "meal" is cheese, cracker, cherry tomatoes and some wine.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, what could be better than cheese and olives ;) Well, I guess some wine would be good too!!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh! From America to France! I'll pass on the olives, but the cheese - oh I CRAVE the cheese!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne,
ReplyDeleteYour friends are so nice to share these lovely cheeses with you ;)
I love cheese and since living in France, even more. Though I have not tasted all- there are hundreds of cheeses !
Have a nice weekend
Hi everyone..thanks to all for the lovely comments...Yes what more could you ask for..only thing missing was France!! It was a good night though.
ReplyDeleteErin - Nothing beats this little 'sanck-meal'...my favourite.
Sally ....yummy olives..I didn't used to like them..can't get enough of them :-)
Corine - that was a 'meant' to be, don't you think!
Cherrypie - was delicious ...thanks :-)
Linda - oh yes, yummy, and I took some lovely crackers I found in the supermarket, they were from Liguria!!
My Melange - don't worry, wine was there as well, couldn't leave that out. :-)
Leslie - you will have to give olives another go, I managed to persuade one of my sons to try one again :-)
Barbara - The cheese counters in France just amaze me, so difficult to pick..I normally get a small piece of a few....yummy. Lovely of my friends..we had a really good night Thank you. Have a good weekend. :-)
Hi Erin...that should of been 'Snack'...ha ha :-)
ReplyDeleteAnne, it all sounds absolutely perfect. My favourite meal is a Parisian buffet, whether in Oxfordshire (you) or Australia (me) ... yum!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful. I wish I could have been there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely feast, my kind of favourite food.
ReplyDeleteIs that a chevre I spot in the top right handside? Lucky you! Can't get it here - my favourite was the Somerset one though.
ReplyDeleteDoes life get any more perfect? You are a lucky friend. Yum!
ReplyDeleteCheese is my favorite food.
Hope you are well Anne!

What could me more perfect than dinner of great cheeses, coldmeats and wine? The simpler the better, I say.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious gift they brought! Which was your favorite?
ReplyDeleteYUMM!! That looks soooo good!!
ReplyDeleteThanks once again folks for all your comments :-)
ReplyDeleteAll these cheeses were great...I can't think really say I had a favourite though.
I am going to look at Chez Loulous list of cheeses...write them down, and go to a cheese stall that is in our indoor market in Oxford. I must remember to take my camera next time!!!
