IT isn’t long until Christmas and, if you need ideas for your beloved, my advice is to buy them a cheese dome. They’re made of clear glass, with a knob on the top, and come in sizes to suit every purse and appetite. Not madly romantic, but they look twinkly and they are very good for keeping cheese.
I was in Turkey, freshly raised on the hot plate. Then we noticed sacks of olives and had a bag or two of those, plus some white cheese, similar to feta, and we were about to go and buy a knife and some tomatoes when my attention was caught by a glass counter full of small, furry gnomes.
