Challenge: July 12 - cheese

The return of the famous masterpiece Mousa Lisa to France was cause for an exquisite banquet in Basil’s - and to a lesser extent, my - honor. And what a banquet it was! There was Cheddar and Stilton from England; mozzarella and parmesan from Italy; gruyere from Switzerland; manchengo and mahon from Spain; Edelpilzkäse from Germany; brie and blue cheese from France; and even Monterey Jack from America and queso fresco from Mexico.

I attempted to exhibit some self-control but inevitably a nibble or two became three or four. And that evening, I had never wished so desperately that mice could vomit.
