Nope, don't believe in the religious Easter crap, but I will have my Easter egg on Sunday though.

As I'm an atheist you won't be surprised to hear that I've not given up anything for Lent. However the one thing which I doubt that I could ever give up would be cheese. I can't think of any meal I've eaten within the past few weeks which didn't include cheese. I eat cheese sandwiches, toasted cheese and ham sandwiches, chilli con carne (topped with lashings of cheese), pasta dishes (smothered in Parmesan), cheesecake, cottage pie (with a thick cheese topping). . . etc, etc. No cheese, no food!

Bacon butties are nice, Bez, but they're twice as nice with cheese!

I hate all English cheeses but love continental cheeses. J'adore queso de cabra (goat's cheese), manchego, gruyere and little cheese "pates" from France. Gorgeous with pan de pasas (little raisin crispbreads) and a good hearty red wine.
