You're probably right, Dimitri. It's been a long time since I've made it,
but I know that I never tried ale. I did, however, include some cayenne
and mustard powder. I could swear, however, that my memory of eating it
included a taste of sherry. Could it have been both, I wonder? The
cheddar flavor was definitely extra sharp and, knowing Halle's reputation,
probably imported.

The store itself carried many imported goods, had one of the best wine
shops in the city, and the restaurant featured many dishes not commonly
found on American menus. At the change of each season they had a food
festival which featured the cuisine of a European or UK country.
