Dorset Poacher

I meant to share this with you after my Dorset expedition a few weeks ago. Spotted on an ivy-clad stone wall in Worth Matravers, this is the little-known lichen Friedii Eggus.

  2. Far superior to Crappus birdii and Chewinggummus egregius.

  3. Dorset Poacher - sounds like a real ale brew!

  4. Oh, yes - or an extra-mature Cheddar!

  5. You're both right, VK and LD. There's a superb Badger Poacher's Choice ale brewed in Blandford Forum by Hall & Woodhouse, and nearer to me a very scrummy Lincolnshire Poacher cheese. Actually, they'd go really well together. Time for a picnic in Unmitigated England. More gingham table cloths!
