I managed to spend a small fortune on cheese recently (a Beaufort, St Marcellin, Tomme de Savoie and Tommette a l'huile to be exact) under the pretext that this would be 'dinner' rather than a snack which therefore justifies the expenditure (female post-purchase-rationalisation logic).
This is actually not that far from the truth - I love the French way of eating - good cheese, good wine, meat and fresh bread, shared with friends. Perfect.

The cheese was mopped up with a date and walnut bread and a smoked duck breast, orange and red chicory salad.

Sometimes, it's the simpler the better with food, and what could be more simple than cheese, bread and red wine...
