What's this? A fricking frommelier you say?
Sommelier + fromage (cheese in French talk) = Well. You do the maths.
It's nice to see that, with unemployment nearing the two million mark and press reports suggesting one in five are nervous over their jobs, Le Bouchon Breton in Spitalfields is doing its own little bit for the economy by paying some dude to look after their cheese.
The guy in question is the fanstatically French named Jean Claude Ali Cherif, whose job, so the press release goes, is to look after the 40-plus cheeses on the Breton trolley: "making sure the cheese is served at its best and at the right temperature makes all the difference, good storage and regular checking ensures each cheese is brought to life ready for the customer".
Anyho, the guy must obviously know his cheese or he wouldn't have a full-time job dealing with the stuff, and if you'd like to bask in this reflected knowledge old Ali Cherif is putting on a monthly cheese masterclass. The hour long cheese-chat is priced at £50 and is being held on the following dates:
