The Old Cheese Board

When does that old cheese board come out? Does it come out before dessert or after dessert? Or spanish style, neither before nor after dessert. It's more common to have it before the meal which i prefer because i can really appreciate the taste of the cheese on an empty stomach. If you do a british style, the last taste in your mouth is a salty taste - not sweet at all. And sorty things does go well with after dinner drinks like port reza. Was it drummed into you as a kid to take something with you as a gift? No.
