Browsing the menu for our local Michelin-starred eaterie (L'Ortolan) I noticed a starter -
Wigmore £14-50
Wigmore, Pear , Celery
What the heck is a 'wigmore' ? I have heard of the Wigmore hall, and also the abbey/village - but never a food

If you don't know, you're not posh enough to eat there. Away with you peasant!
(Google suggests cheese, which would fit with pear and celery)

It's a cheese.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Fine-Chees ... B006ON0QFGThese whole baby pears are ideal for soft cheeses like Wigmore, Brie, and Camembert.
https://www.cheese.com/wigmore/Wigmore cheese is produced by Village Maid Cheese at the village of Risley in Berkshire and made by Anna and Andy Wigmore from ewe milk

Re: Wigmore, as a menu item
Ah, thanks both. Makes sense - a local artisanal cheese (it's Riseley not Risley - so a few miles south of l'ortolan)
And yes, I'm not posh enough to eat there, I know my place
