Forget that, I'd like WMUK to fly me to Scotland so that I can, uh, "research" and write about various types of whisky. Cheers, Craig On 25 November 2014 at 18:59, Jon Davies &lt;jon.davies(a)wikimedia.org.uk&gt; wrote:

I vote for Brussels & beer, I tasted them the past weeks and it asks for more. The day before yesterday I heard that some beers from Brussels are typical Brussels as the region has a special local micro climate. But I must say, I think it is good to document cheese, as well as other food/drinks, we should have more photos with better quality. I really hope this contributes to this.

British cheese is better than its reputation suggests, if you know where to look. However British cheeses are difficult to distinguish from British breeds of pig. Gloucester Old Spot, Lincolnshire Poacher, Oxford Sandy and Black, Balcombe Brown Ring, Yarg, Mangalitsa - can you tell which is a pig and which is a cheese without looking it up in a popular online encyclopedia? I think not. :) On Sat, Nov 29, 2014 at 2:30 PM, Andrea Zanni &lt;zanni.andrea84(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:

Hi everyone, A quick update 7 days after launch (pun intended). We have reached 92% of our first goal. We're receiving huge supports and an amazing coverage from medias. This is just awesome. In the latest news, we just received a 1 200€ pledge from the CNIEL https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_national_interprofessionnel_de_l%27%C3… the organisation promoting dairy products in France. Just so you know, we did not asked them to. We're really happy from this unexpected support :) Thanks also to everyone here who helped spread the word and allowed us to go this far. Now, we have to reach the 9 000€ goal so we can produce a documentary about how cheese is made.
