mini cheese warmer!

[nid_dabeille]

Oh my goodness, I was only just today reading about Jack's new silver cheese warmer, and then I looked at today's new items on my favorite SP Miniatures, and they have a new silver cheese warmer!!!

For only $345!  Buy it for me right now.



It looks similar to the one in the movie (Master and Commander, I mean), but actually the one in the book is heated with a spirit lamp, and this one is heated with hot water in the space below the little trays and then held over a fire.  Actually, come to think of it, Jack's cheese pan sounds kind of like a raclette - the cooking apparatus, I mean, not the cheese.

Maybe you can find a separate spirit stove some time? Or contact them and have a unique piece made? :D I liked the short description of how to do Toasted Cheese Bread pieces soaked in wine were placed in the little pans. Slices of cheese were placed on top It would be nice to know if Killick did the wine soaking too. He would have liked it.

Have a unique piece made? When the standard one is already $345? Erk... well if I'm doing that, I might as well ask them to make me some plates with a hawser-laid border too. :D

I was intrigued by the bread and wine part too. Interesting taste combination.

Be careful to order the border the right way round then. *g*

Interesting taste combination
Though fresh baguette, cheese (pref camembert) and a dry red is always a welcome threesome.

But one doesn't usually dip the cheesy bread in wine, though. It sounds like it would be soggy.

True, but if there is only hard tack and some hard grated cheese left, soaking in wine may be the only chance to get everything edible...

That makes sense.
