I am duly impressed. Those are gorgeous.
The smelt I spoke of earlier, you just cut the heads off, clean them, frying them up, and eat them bones and all. Of course you can purchase them already dressed and ready for frying, smoking, or baking.
Stuffed, baked potato skins are also always a big hit, especially with ham and cheese.
For something a little off the neaten path, fried chicken skins, golden brown and crispy, and lightly salted are wonderful. You can use them with a soft dip on top. These would go well with a dry, white wine.
I've posted chicken liver pate' and it is great on toast points, or you favorite crackers.
I know I don't use alcohol, but many of you do. I posted a recipe for creamiest fudge earlier tonight. Make the white fudge version, but replace the cream with a suitable wine to flavor it. Make little balls of the fudge and freeze. Cover in tempered dark chocolate. Let warm to room temperature.

I have purchased some excellent cheese from them. Another great cheese shop is located in Fankenuth, Mi. I visited the store one lucky time. They had amazing cheeses. Of course I had to try some 5 year old cheddar, and some 7 year old cheddar that they had at the store. They don't usually have cheese quite that old. It was amazing with the depth of flavor. But for most folks, I wouldn't go beyond the ten or eleven year aged cheddar, if you're going for cheddar. Their other cheeses are fo the very finest quality as well. Here's the site -

The first site also offer charcuterie as well as hams and cheese.
