I too had the wonderful opportunity to live, work in London in my 20's, and I have regrets as well. I wish I had not let poverty stop me from being more adventurous! I should have done so much more with my life there and did not, a depressed 20-year-old. (Yawn). I had a wonderful time, learned alot anyway, but it could have been grander ;) Oh, but I do still have my love for Indian from those days (somosas, donner kebab on the street, lots-o-yummies).

Sad to hear that your first experience in London was disappointing. It's amazing how youth and inexperience can make one oblivious to what is on your doorstep I had a similar experience when I went to Sydney on my gap year from university.

I'm glad to hear that England has partially redeemed itself, there is a lot of great food over here!

Matt, I'm of the opinion that the whole point of being eighteen is to try crazy things and screw up. If you do it then, you still have time to learn from it.

As a fellow cheese lover, I have to say you've assembled a mighty fine cheese plate. I know Brit food gets frequently maligned, but there's no doubting the quality of English cheese. I'd love to try some of the English onion on sharp cheddar -- damn!

Wow, thanks for this link, Matt! I will definitely...

Wow, thanks for this link, Matt! I will definitely have to try ordering. The cheeses look prefect.

My goodness, you've hit my weakness .. cheeses. Top that off with pretty packaging and you have my shallow, fromage-loving soul happy. Love the combinations you've mentioned, and have happily gone to their site to browse; it has definitely inspired a trip to our local cheesemonger.
I can't help it, I keep scrolling up to covet those adorable little bottles once again. The photos are gorgeous!

Hmmm, I am wondering. Wrote a comment and it disappeared?? Ou est-il?? In any case, what I was saying is that you are funny as it seems that you were born in the wrong country as you are a true cheese guy! ;-) And you will one day get back to what you missed. No need for regrets, and then it will be even better!

2006-04-19T12:42:00.000-07:00

ahahh Matt, it almost looks like you were born in the wrong country! ;-) You are a cheese guy! And I am sure those regrets will fade away. Life is a process and every stage brings its own richness. When you do experience what you missed, wow, it will be good!

Matt,
1.) you're my hero. i want your job, and your blog.

2.) I am a student living in London for the semester and I know how you must have felt- it is hard to live here, with everything so expensive- i'll smuggle some cheese from Neal's over if you want.... ;)

Melissa, need I have ANOTHER reason why I love you so?

MM, GOSH, I'd never hate you for that! I'd only be incredibly envious and happy! So you lived close enough to walk to the store of my dreams?????????????????????? We must talk. Hehehe :)

Alisa, my goodness I have never heard of Nicole! I can't thank you enough for the info. I am checking it out this Friday!

You guys are the reason I blog!!!!!!!! Man oh man!

It's not English, but it's really good.....There is a small, wonderful shop in South Pasadena called Nicole's. Nicole is French, and manages to import wonderful French products, and sell them for a reasonable price, including CHEESE! When I lived in L.A. it was a haven (live in Paris now). Here's her web site: http://nicolesgourmetfoods.com/home.htm
p.s. have i mentioned how much enjoyment i have been getting from your blog?:)

2006-04-18T23:34:00.000-07:00

Would you hate me if I told you I used to live in Bath near the shop and I would walk there on Saturday mornings to get me cheeses, chutney, bread and get a pie to tide me over on my weekend groceries shopping?

2006-04-18T20:22:00.000-07:00

yay! english food! there is so much to be said for the little island with a bad culinary reputation, at least to the rest of the world. i hear so many horrible things about "english food" but have such a deep love for it myself. from the pub fare the snooty, i'm an anglophile, and i always have been.

one of my favorite things in the whole world is a jar of branston pickle. i could eat it on anything and, truth be told, i can eat it alone off of a spoon. that's better commented on your "secret eating" post, though!
