Thanks, Liz! The rabbit explanation is even more interesting than the Welsh explanation. I’m still not sure why mock-turtle soup has nothing to do with turtles or why a cheese sandwich has or has not anything to do with rabbits but I enjoyed the read.

Yesterday, at the best food/garden market in NJ, I saw the most beautiful cheese I’ve ever seen: Shropshire blue cheese. It was a gorgeous shade of orange (like the iconic NY state license plate) run through with deep blue veins. I couldn’t take my eyes off it. It didn’t fit into either my diet or wallet!

I'm a devotee of blue/bleu cheese and have tasted it in all its variations....but Shropshire Blue I have not had.

Looks delicious....will check it out at my cheesemonger.
