I'm from Bristol originally, so an 'incomer'. Don't know when you last visited but I'm sure you'd find that the Beachcomber hasn't changed one little bit - furniture, view, menu, same tin of hot chocolate. They have just converted the old paddling pool in front of it into a skate park that everyone is quite excited about. And of course Muse played here last September. Apart from that, nothing much else goes on!<br /><br />Northern Snippet - I have heard that the only place you can get it in UK is Harrods - makes sense! We attempted to make our own at Xmas - my husband bought me a jar of Carluccio's Truffle Butter and we halved a large wedge of Brie and spread it with a thick shmear of the butter. It was a half decent attempt, but nowhere near the real thing. So Harrods or Holland. Unfair!Grazing Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564844831141016441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548083804110806782.post-29228107000633484102010-07-07T15:37:46.922+01:002010-07-07T15:37:46.922+01:00That cheese looks fantastic,lovely and ripe.Wonder...That cheese looks fantastic,lovely and ripe.Wonder if you can get it anywhere in the UK?Northern Snippethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07207173438875166390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548083804110806782.post-64468521635297499092010-07-07T12:44:05.548+01:002010-07-07T12:44:05.548+01:00Thanks for the comment - brie with truffles is the...Thanks for the comment - brie with truffles is the best! <br /><br />Teignmouth - how nice. Grandparents lived in Dawlish for 25 years so half grew up there. Hot chocolate and toasted teacakes in the Beachcomber in Teignmouth seemed like the height of luxury after the walking the seawall from smugglers cove. Such a nice place.....Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11774745116214686192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548083804110806782.post-1601377950084164992010-07-07T11:13:46.024+01:002010-07-07T11:13:46.024+01:00Hooray for Holland - they won! ....and into the f...Hooray for Holland - they won! ....and into the finalGrazing Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564844831141016441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548083804110806782.post-14788013256022326372010-07-07T11:04:47.797+01:002010-07-07T11:04:47.797+01:00Lolb - James is obviously a cheese monster - under...Lolb - James is obviously a cheese monster - understandable. Problem with brie plus mascarpone is that it's lard on lard - both full extra artery-blocking fat. But so good.<br /><br />Angie - hmm, depends on your point of view - I seem to remember that a slice that size was about 20 euros (so about £17) so I guess just over twice the price of regular brie. It's difficult to tell the scale, but the photo shows the cheese on a dinner plate rather than a side plate, so it's probably 500g or so. The thing is that it's so good that it is actually worth the price. Plus it's Brie de Meaux, so it's top quality cheese before the luxury additions. Fab as a treat, but maybe not for your every day lunch sandwiches!Grazing Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564844831141016441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548083804110806782.post-76750144636891994352010-07-07T10:57:00.649+01:002010-07-07T10:57:00.649+01:00How expensive is the truffle cheese?

You must try truffles (of the non-chocolate variety) - perhaps start with truffle oil as they're not in season but that gives you an idea of the weird 'umami' flavour before you progress to the seriously expensive stuff!<br /><br />By the way, are you still coming to that food bloggers meet up at the beginning of August in Totnes? - it would be great to meet you in person - there are about four of us so far.Grazing Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564844831141016441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548083804110806782.post-11055388402721358122010-07-06T20:30:42.697+01:002010-07-06T20:30:42.697+01:00Sounds wonderful and isn't it great to get pre...Sounds wonderful and isn't it great to get presents from other parts, even if we do have some great cheeses of our own. I've still not tried black truffles and I most certainly haven't tried this cheese - yum!Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.com
