A Site For Sore Eyes

| Sausages vs Cheese |
Anyone who's visited the Future Gamer Forum over the last couple of weeks will know that as well as the usual banter and argument about games, there's also been one of the most pressing debates to date, namely, "Which do you prefer - sausages or cheese?"
The Future Gamer team are actually quite split on the subject, with the qualities of a fine, mature, crumbly cheddar pitched against the temptation of a ketchup-smothered sausage butty on a cold morning. There's only one way to solve this dilemma (and no, we've already tried cheesy sausages and they're grim) - the Internet.
In the red corner, we have cheese. A fine place to start is The Cheese Site, a pretty comprehensive resource for all things cheese-related. You can search the database, which contains over 650 cheeses, for fine specimens by name, country, texture or milk, or look at veggie cheeses. There are fascinating facts ("Tall truckles are easier to serve if sliced horizontally"), a cheese bookstore, great cheese links and all the latest news. You can even get your own email address of you@cheese.com! A recipe section is also promised in the future.
So where do you buy these fine cheeses? We'd recommend Paxton and Whitfield (cheesemongers to the Queen, don'tcha know?), not least because they have a shop just round the corner from our office in Bath, but they also serve the King of Cheeses, Stinking Bishop. Their great-looking site has an online order form, which also includes a good selection of wines and ports, details on the Cheese Society and much more.
In the blue corner, we present the humble sausage. Again, we're blessed with a fine sausage shop just round the corner, but the Sausage Shop website means their Mongolian Fire Pot, Wild Mushrooms and Madeira, Pork, Prune and Cognac and many other speciality sausages are available for everyone. There's also good advice on cooking and storing, as well as mouth-watering recipes.
Finally, the US National Hot Dog and Sausage Council website offers a variety of sausage-related recipes, news, facts, trivia and links.
So, which is best? Sausages or cheese? Have your say on the Forum now!
