Snacks of Hungarian Gulyas soup and various cheeses (Tete de Moine, Dutch goat's cheese, Stilton, Shropshire Blue, Wensleydale and Blue Wensleydale) with fruit bread and data & walnut loaf (accompanied by a very smooth 10-year old, barrique matured chardonnay grappa) to tide over until the fireworks. Washed down with German beers, Port and a bottle of Freixenet Spanish bubbly at midnight. Cheers Douglas Lawrence Zeitlin wrote: > I envy the gourmet meals that some of you are having.
