BLAU HIRNI @ JUMI'S (CHEESE) Ltd IN BOROUGH MARKET. A MINUTE AMOUNT FILLED HER WHOLE MOUTH.

I had better explain.. are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin, at the beginning, you all know that is my favourite place.

When going to collect milk and curd at Borough this morning, she went through the Jumi stall and smiled at the young woman who always seems to be there.

There is, on Jumi's wall, a sign that says.. "There is no such thing as too much cheese", it makes her smile and today she said to the woman "and what about those people who say, as if it makes them extra special in some way, "I don't like cheese", I want to say to them "Really, you've tasted every cheese in the world?"

For how many cheeses are there! WHO knows? Smiling the lovely Italian said. "let me give you a cheese to taste (see what I mean?) that you may never have heard of, let alone eaten!" She cut the smallest sliver of a strange looking soft cheese, mama took it and put it into her mouth.

The taste exploded on her tongue and roared around waking up her taste buds.. wallop.. zoom.. bang and zap-kapow.. no wonder she'd only been given a minute bit, for the taste was E-NOR-MOUS!

Here is the information the cheese maker gives..

"This cream cheese came into being through an unexpected contamination with blue mould owing to a thinking mistake of the makers. Even after extensive brainstorming, it was not possible to pinpoint how this could happen and so the cheese was named Blau Hirni (Blue Brain)"

It is made from the raw milk of the Simmentaler cow. It takes 8 weeks to make and mature. It comes in little 'loaves' at 120g which cost £7.80. The cheese maker is Peter Glauser.

Holey Moley.. the next time she has £7.80 not allocated to something else, she'll hot-foot it down to JUMI Cheese at Borough Market and buy herself.. SHARE?.. a Blau Hirni.

Or she could buy Smoked Raclette or maybe some Fuhfesachzger, no, she can't pronounce it either.

I am feeling quite 'quiet' and I might even allow myself to be put to bed early.. for I read MaryLou's email. She lives in Illinois and Dear Readers, the temperature there is minus 15 degrees Fahrenheit.. that is seriously cold and what we have just been warned that we might be heading for in the UK.

So I shall bid "Goodnight" to you all from her and me.."Goodnight.. sleep tight"

GeeGee Parrot.

PostScript: The origin of 'SHARE' was written about in a post a longlong time ago, you'll have to go back and read them all, the clue is a trip to look at a school, one stout child and an emelette.. made with thirteen eggs.
