Do you serve cheese before or after desserts?

Indeed.Getting this wrong can result in a mini form of 'social death' leading to being struck off people's xmas card lists.:-)

I'll see your tapioca and raise you one semolina (lumpy & cold of course) with red stuff (described by the dinner ladies as "jam").
This is,of course, one of the burning questions of the day...

Cheese/ biscuits are often offered as an alternative to desert.. ... But. can also be given after desert ....

Tapioca pudding (with the occasional 'chewy' bit).I've just lost 50 years and gained 50 pounds!

Rice pudding.4 Oz short grain pudding rice3.5 Oz sugar (or to taste)2 pt full cream milksprinkle of nutmeg on the topInto the oven at gas mark 3 for "several hours" (again, to taste).Absolute heaven.
What about old fashioned bread 'n butter pudding with lots of raisons and currants! With oodles of cream! Yum yum!

Nothing's better than spotted dick! --- except maybe a steamed syrup pudding. :-)
if you're having port and cigars then they go better with cheese than spotted dick so I would say pud then cheese. But as I have to watch my figure - sadly both are interdit :o(

You appear to know precisely what I mean...try the Cheddar Deli on Northfields.They may have the gouda you want.

I'm not sure precisely what you mean, Keith, but the people I know at Ealing's soup kitchens certainly enjoy their cheese and biscuits just as much as the next person.Whether they always have cheese AND dessert at the end of the meal is another matter altogether.Is extra mature gouda avilable locally?

I wonder what opinion they have of this at Ealing's food bank?
Both?
