  - Most cheeseboards only have 3 / 4 cheeses though
    
    so I was loading up with other stuff
    
    I take your point though.

    a nice LBV, decanted and left out to breathe while you eat the main part of the meal.
    
    Also- cheese, before or after pudding?
    
    I like to do:
    Pudding
    Cheese
    Dessert (being a small plate of fruit)
    
    More cheese

best to have two? one mild, one strong

With respect, i think most of you have two many cheeses on your board

Les is more because your palate will get totally obverwhelmed if there are too many flavours. I think you need to make a few sacrifices and stick with your choices. You can always have a different selection next time.

But what do I know.

      My parents are ANNOYINGLY strict on what she has. They do make her steak for treats. WTF. i'm sure she'd love it but she eats her own poo so I don't think she has the best palate in the world.

Not going to include meat items here, that's for my charcuterie board.

Stichleton
Comte
Taleggio
Stinking Bishop
A very stong cheddar

Throw in some Jacob's Cream Crackers, some poppy seed crackers, a good pickle and some grapes and we are done.

And port. Lots of port.
