I am perpetually unaware of what the date is, so these 'xyz of the month' posts are a real challenge for me. Friends, I hope you read this and understand that whenever I have forgotten all of your birthdays it is nothing personal. Hopefully these posts will, over time, at least improve my awareness of what month it is, if not what day...
In characteristically late fashion, here is my monthly mischief, (for the details of my three trusted suppliers see my first monthly mischief here.)
These are real comfort treats, deliciously earthy, warming and indulgent (cheese, wine, chocolate).
1. La Fromagerie's (Marylebone) Brie aux Truffe from Ile de France, £51.35/kg: 'a Brie de Meaux with a sandwich filling of Creme Fraiche and chopped black Perigord truffles. This is a rich and decadent combination and should be eaten freshly made rather than ripe.' This is AMAZING - using proper black truffles rather than the sometimes artificial tasting truffle oil, this cheese is a super indulgent treat. Earthy and delicious, it is a walk through a leaf-strewn park in October in a mouthful. I can't wait to go back for more.
2. I am devastated to say that Finborough Wine Cafe (West Brompton / Earls Crt)has now closed. Its wine tasting deal was clearly too good to be true. The Las Orcas 'Decenio' Rioja Reserva 1999 I tasted there is available at butlers wine cellar online for £12.95 a bottle. This is full bodied red with a nice warm spice to it. Perfect for a fire side drink, and pretty good at balancing the earthy cheese.
3. Fortnum and Mason's (Picadilly) Salted Caramels, around £1 each. They do a few salted caramels but this one is by far the best in my eyes. The bitter dark chocolate melts in your mouth until it can no longer hold the salty caramel liquid in. Mmmmm. I am getting withdrawal symptoms already.
