Say Cheese

The 'go to' hostess plate is a selection of cheeses and crackers.  But which to choose? Traditionally, there are usually three:  a combo of a hard , a soft and a blue or a combo of a cow's milk , a sheep's milk and  goat cheese. I tend to serve a sliced cheddar, cubes of a herbed havarti and a dish of Boursin with a decorative spreader. 

  At this party I offered an international plate  -

 Italian, French and Irish
