Right with you there! But although I can't take cow's milk, and hate anything made of goat's milk, I find that I can cope quite well with ewe's milk. An occasional treat of ewe's milk cheese can really save my sanity when the cravings get overwhelming. It will substitute in cookery too, once you allow for the fact that it needs much less heating time. There are lots of lovely French cheeses, and Spanish and Italian, made with ewe's milk, and some English ones now - including a scrummy Wensleydale. You can choose from soft and hard, and even blue ones. But be careful of Feta - some of it is made from a mixture of cow's and ewe's milk: once had a very embarrassing reaction, at a dinner at an Oxford college, after enthusiastically opting for the Greek salad starter. My only problem is that my favourite cheesemonger has retired, so I've no-one to suggest new ones and advise me about the content of the various cheeses. He was a great expert, and as he knew that I couldn't even risk tasting a small sample, he would take the trouble to find out the ingredients for me. However it's just occurred to me that I can ask the advice of lace makers in other countries. Any information will be welcomed by Linda Walton, (in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, U.K.).
