Reading through the thread, the moment I saw Countess Emily Jane Mercer Elphinstone de Flahault pop up in RM's post #25127, I thought to myself "vindepays is going to be on that quicker than a Red Admiral on a buddleia"

It's gone a bit quiet. I'm off to Scotland this afternoon so will not be able to give clues or serve up the coleslaw when the time comes.

Would you like to do your D instead, mercia?

Let's have a C from an Old New Zealand cheese (3 clues here)

No takers? Start with a NZ cheese...

Come on boys and girls. I need this solving in the next hour before Mrs Flay gets in - I haven't packed my things or the car yet. If it's not done...

... some of our question-posers have assumed that we might have a knowledge of modern popular music. Or of nineteen-fifties music-theatre. Or of Hollywood blockbusters.

And now we are expected to have a knowledge of New Zealand cheeses...


I'm impressed!!!

Oh gosh vinny, so many cheeses, and the correct colour too. But mine is more royal sounding. Keep tasting.

I fancy a nice glass of deep red wine just now. (That's not a clue, just a desire)
