20% off with Peter's of Kensington

If any buyers are interested in making a purchase from Peter's of Kensington, eBay are offering a 20% discount - valid until the 10th of this month.

It's a little annoying that I recently made a purchase from P's of K, just before the discount was offered!

Oh well. I do need some new chopping boards, and I like the look of those lovely Catskill boards (end grains, 11cm height, sustainably sourced).

(I think I may need a new cheese knife as well for soft-ish cheeses; the one I had has not been seen for over a month and I'm tired of Brie sticking to the sides of my non-cheese knives. Am I going to have to attach a new cheese knife via a beaded chain thing - like bank pens - to the cheese board? Or strip-search departing cheese-consuming guests?)

Us Scandinavians have always used a cheese wire for soft cheeses.

We used to import these.

Oh-ho-ho, cheese wires! I love a good cheese wire for semi-hard and hard cheeses!

I have my eye on one by Stelton - I just wasn't sure I could get replacement wires but I think I've got that sorted.

Especially good for Havarti, doesn't stick and you get a nice thin slice.

Cheese is one of life's great pleasures. It's been the subject of recent archaeological discoveries, too.

My replacement cheese knife will probably be a Global. P's of K don't have it in stock, but there are a few other sellers on eBay offering it

handy for a big cheese.

Most makers of wire cheese cutters can supply extra wires.

Commonly in packs of 5 or 10.

I saw the state of that extra mature cheese recently found.

I shall forego the opportunity, should it arise to sample such a delicacy.

A tad tricky getting the slices out again though.

Oh, is that what the hole in the guitar is for ?

They should make a little trap door at the back to get the slices out.

So... let me get this straight:

You're using a soundboard as a cheese board. Are you using a cheese board as a soundboard?

Geez Padi, it's hard enough getting your pick outta that sound hole,

let alone a whole boiled egg.

I was afraid to mention the guitar-shaped chopping or serving boards.

No argument here, Padi.
