And while we're on the subject of Stilton , if a cheese is to be legally called "Stilton" , it must be made in one of the three counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire,

Interestingly enough , the actual village of Stilton is not within one of those counties , so true Stilton cannot be made in the village it is named after.

The first known written reference to Stilton cheese is from 1722: "We pass'd Stilton, a town famous for cheese, which is call'd our English Parmesan, and is brought to table with the mites, or maggots round it, so thick, that they bring a spoon with them for you to eat the mites with, as you do the cheese."

I'll forgo the mites during my "Stilton" make this weekend.
