Bryn, maybe I worded that wrongly and I should have said 'the majority' not 'all' but certainly until recently raw milk was on sale locally so I did know it was still available  I've never tried it so don't know what difference in flavour there is. Also, just looking on the Net, it says the UK now produces more mozzarella than Italy including Welsh mozzarella  |

Anty, friends who used to farm near Rhandirmwyn had a small herd of Brucellosis Accredited Welsh Blacks. The unpasteurised milk from them was something rather special, and they used to sell some of it locally. There again, I am not familiar with the flavour of pasteurised Welsh Black cow's milk,  |

Ron, I love cheese but unfortunately I have a slight dairy allergy so have to limit my intake. Personally I have both unpasteurised and pasteurised and, although the risk is low (about 1%) in theory I could contract TB by walking through a herd of cattle and having them sneeze on me  Bryn, Welsh Blacks, now you're talking, the best beef ever, after Welsh Aberdeen Angus' of course |

How about goats' cheese, Anty? Many people who have problems with bovine dairy products are fine with those from goats.

Hi Ron, goats cheese seems fine, I love to grill it and serve with grilled cherry tomatoes and mixed leaves, drizzled with some balsamic vinegar and a rather playful rose wine to accompany. A Foodie? Moi? I do find that French chevre is the best however much as I try the West Country or Welsh varities. I do love goats though, it's their horizonatal pupils that are fascinating, Anglo-Nubians are my favourite, although Billies do whiff a bit. |

I have fond memories of helping to milk a goat when I was about 7 or 8. It belonged to the people next door, and they had lots of hens as well. I've had great affection for goats and hens ever since.

Many years ago I borrowed a neighbour's goat (called Anna! ) to munch on my overgrown garden, after I'd just moved in. Anna had a long chain which was attached to a long rope running the length of the garden so she could access everything that grew in it - not only did she eat the grass but also all the rose bushes! She greeted me one day by playfully running round and round me - until she'd bound my legs together tightly with her chain! It was quite a game making her do it in the opposite direction to release myself. My shins were quite badly bruised. Poor Anna was lonely living by herself in a back garden so soon after that, her owner gave her to someone who owned other goats. |

Many years ago I borrowed a neighbour's goat (called Anna! ) All the best goats are called Anna! I just had a strange experience. I am cooking dinner. I went to check up on progress and opened the oven door. There was nothing there! Empty. De Nada. Zilch. I got down on my knees and peered intently, totally empty but enticing smells in the kitchen, I then got my Superdrug cheapy specs and gazed at it confusedly thinking "Who's nicked me grub? Surely those mice haven't had it away?" for about 2 minutes before realising it was in the other oven!!  I blame llstening to music on my cordless headphones cos I couldn't hear the hum of the right oven. |

Anna, I'm just about to pay you back for your jealousy over my clean hob the other day I wish I had two ovens! My cousin lives in a huge shared house with a tiny little galley kitchen, but it still manages to have a quadruple oven and eight-ring hob - I get kitchen envy every time I visit. Tonight I'm making cream of red pepper soup - the recipe calls for tomato juice, but Tesco was all out and my local shops don't sell it, so I'll be improvising with a combination of passata and water and hoping for the best! |

I blame llstening to music on my cordless headphones cos I couldn't hear the hum of the right oven. I've got a top oven and a main oven and have sometimes put one on then put the food in the other...gone in when the beeper beeped and wondered why the food's not cooked.  It was something frozen straight from the freezer the other day and, having seen it was still frozen, I turned up the oven - the WRONG oven!  |
