Topic: Selection from the cheese board et cetera
I know this is silly.
I have had a non-personal email from Tesco.
It is largely about food for Christmas festivities.
One section is Keep everyone sweet with a DIY dessert board
Mention of "board" in relation to food reminded me of that years ago, on the few occasions I dined in a restaurant where each course had a choice of two or three, for the final part, one that seemed to always be included was "Selection from the cheese board".
I never chose that, I usually had something like a piece of lemon meringue pie, or apricot mousse, that sort of thing, but I do remember seeing the cheese board on a trolley being taken to other tables.
Sort of a wooden board, perhaps an inch thick, with about six big lumps of cheese on it, unwrapped, sort of a yellow one, a red one, and an off-white one with lots of blue lines in it.
I wonder if the cheeses got replaced regularly or if they just sat there for months until they got used up.
I don't know why I find it funny, but I do.
I appreciate that some readers might find recognition humour in this, but that some people might well not.
I put "et cetera" in the title of the thread in case anyone has any anecdotes about food in retaurants and hotels that may amuse at least some of us.
