"Announcing Women's Wine and Cheese Pairing Class!!"

I got this as the subject of an email from a wine store that I quite
like. My initial (probably sexist) thought was who should I match with
Gorgonzola!

Maybe someone who isn't a grammar Nazi and doesn't care that you used
"who" instead of "whom"?

I can see your interpretation, but for the life of me I can't see the
intended meaning. Is this something about cheese-paring?

Perhaps I'm dense, but "Women's" has to be a possessive(*) there,
does it not? In that case, it most modify either "wine" or "class".
The intent, as we both know, is for it to modify "class". But if it
modifies "wine", then you would not ask which woman to pair with
Gorgonzola, but which woman's wine or perhaps which women's wine.

I can't see any way to parse that phrase to pair women with cheeses.
Can you elucidate?


(*) WIWAL, it would be a possessive adjective. God knows these days,
but I'm guessing a determiner. In any case, not a noun.

That puzzled me for a while too, but I think it means a class (for
women) on how to choose a cheese that complements a particular wine (or
vice versa).

Like it or not, some food journalists or purported experts
offer to tell us which cheeses go best with which wines,
viz. how to pair food and drink just as appropriately as
a hostess might pair men and women, all having nothing
to do with cheese-paring economy.

Not just journalists.

The back label of the wines sold here often carry suggestions.

These are sometimes quite specific e.g. "Serve with Beef Wellington or
Lamb Casserole".

It could be about pairing women with other women while consuming wine
and cheese.

You drink wine with grated cheese?!! That is disgusting. Lumps or smears
are the only way - one assumes some kind of biscuit, cracker or bread
will be available.

I'd almost forgotten about pompous twits.

Any good wine will go with any good cheese. Heck, if you're in the right
mood then even cheap cask wine and mouse cheese are OK. I will concede
that it can be important to have the right kind of biscuits to
complement the cheese.

And I'll have a light dry white wine with my steak, please, because it's
a sin to overpower the flavour of a blue fillet steak. Anyone who's
shocked by that can go to the other end of the table where the people
are feeling terribly fashionable because the bubbles are going up their
nose.

"Mouse cheese"? A new term to me. When I was a child, my mother always
had "rat trap cheese" in the house, although we never trapped rats with
it. It was a cheap orange cheddar. Or cheddar-type. I haven't seen it in
ages.

A small bit of raw bacon actually works better
than cheese in a mouse/rat trap. Seriously.

Hi Cheryl. How are you?

It's pretty obvious that your rat-trap cheese is the same as my mouse
cheese. Not identical, perhaps, but carrying the same meaning of the
cheapest cheese you can lay your hands on.

(Not counting that artificial sliced cheese. Rats and mice won't touch
that.)

As a child I believed that the holes in Gruyère and the like were
nibbled out by mice.

I've learnt something else since growing up. There's no point in putting
cheese in mouse traps and rat traps. They prefer a piece of bread.

I've heard that peanut butter is highly recommended for luring mice and

With all due respect to the person who discovered that, I'm not going to

Nutella seems particularly attractive to them.

Cheese works but raw bacon works better. Bread and even cookies work.
If a mouse is hungry, it will eat anything. I found a bag of dry
barley once that had been opened and invaded by a mouse.

Yep. That works too. I think any food works for a trap, the smellier
food the better to attract them.

I like to offer them choices. I use some cheddar, some Swiss cheese,
peanut butter, dried fruit and keilbosa.

In the absence of pets and small children you can use poison.
Incidentally, the effectiveness of poison shows that mice are little
cannibals.

One is correct and one isn't.

Pumpkin pips work well with some breeds.

Peanut butter is numero uno.

We had a drought and resulting mouse plague, back in the 80s. This at
a govt weapons lab. So, a contest was held for all the depts, to see
which index heads could come up with the most deadly of all mouse
traps. The winner was a teeter-totter kinda rig, that lured mice onto
a stick which had PB smeared on it at one end and was balanced in the
middle to dump the unsuspecting mice off the PB smeared stick and into
a tub of water, below. This trap caught 98 mice in one 24 hr period.
All the traps in the top 5 used PB. If for no other reason, than,
hard to get PB off anything. I've had mice steal cheese from a trap.
Not gonna happen with PB.

Welcome to a.u.e.! Which do you think is correct?

I like the one with "out" at the end, but I wouldn't say the other is wrong.
