It's interesting you mention this cheese...
This is the cheese plate we had, prior to dessert at a small bistro in the 18th, called Bistrot du Maquis. I enjoyed the goat so much I actually asked the proprietress for its name, which she wrote down on the back of a business card for me!
Now that I think of it, maybe one of us had the cheese plate, while one of us enjoyed dessert?
