ED'S WORLD

France is known for its 300 sorts of cheese, and I must admit that every time I travel in the country I like tasting a new type of cheese. This time I have discovered the "Banon", a medium-sized goat cheese, wrapped in chestnut-tree's leaves. It's delicious, and I've been told it would taste even better with fig-bread and walnuts. Not to mention a glass of red wine. That's the kind of cheese I always feel lucky to eat, as I know that globalisation and its drastic standards of so-called modernization and hygiene are dangerous enemies for these regional products. Let's hope we'll be allowed to eat Banon for many years still !
