New in the Humidor...and a new Humidor too!

Got home and my wife has prepared a Planche de Berger (my favourite dinner ever) and the weekend's not even started yet!

Picture a dog with two tails (and three dicks) and you're getting close to how I feel.

Happy weekend guys,
Steve

Very nice, hope you have a few things to put in it?

Glad to see that they arrived in one piece - and what a home for them to arrive to! Very jealous of that humidor!

PS. As a keen amateur cook*, I wonder if you could enlighten me as to the planche du berger? It's not something I can remember coming across... Sounds like it must be good though!

*In fact, a good friend and I are actually in the planning stages for an online cookery programme in the style of Keith Floyd (i.e. mainly filmed after a few glasses/bottles of wine...) - should we include this dish?

[sbthang]

...should we include this dish?

Absolutely, my friend...

Plance du berger consists of a whole Camembert (oven-cooked for 40 minutes - pierced beforehand and 'enhanced' with 1/4 glass of white wine' and chopped chives) on a wooden "planche", or board, accompanied by sliced cured meats (saucissons sec etc...) cornichons, salades mesculins, hand-cut frites and fresh pain de compagne. Note: one cheese per person.

Serve with a savoie wine, such as Rousette or Pinos Gris, and you've got it made...nothing better...

Yummy, that's all I can say - thanks for sharing. Keith Floyd would be extremely proud of a recipe like that. (In fact I shall re-watch Floyd on France at the earliest opportunity, as I'm sure he wouldn't have let a boozy cheese recipe pass by).

May give it a go in the week.

Well, funny you should ask...

I've got a few boxes coming over the next week or so - I'll update when they arrive

Very tidy piece of kit you've got there Steve. Looking to the pictures of your haul, shouldn't be long now.

Jeez!!! Such an amount of cheese. Have the de-fibrilator on standby. "CLEAR"

Nice humi. Nice looking smokes. Enjoy it all Mr Thang!

Haha this reminds me of something that I cant stop watching currently...My Drunk Kitchen. Haha, I think the concept is fairly obvious, but type it in to youtube and have a watch, keeps me far too entertained at the moment!
