    A cheese grater will make cheese go twice as far and also make it look prettier.
    That's all I know - oh, other than grated cheese can hide the burnt bits on any food that's been burnt.

      MISS SCARLET: Hiding burnt bits? In that case, everything I cook can be made better by cheese.

    I usually tried to avoid the uncircumcised.

    Cheese in a can has many uses.

    In a pinch.

    A wedge of Cheddar makes for a handy door stop. And a whole Edam is great for bowling over Jehovahs Witnesses and carol singers.

      MR. DeVICE: To which the Jehovah’s Witnesses would exclaim, “Oh Cheezus!”

    A slab of Gorgonzola duct-taped under a desk makes a great treat for all your ex-colleagues after you leave the building when you've been made redundant. Jx

      JON: An interesting and effective alternative to the fish-in-the-air-vent trick.

    In the U.S everyday is a celebration of cheese. It's downright un-American not to like cheese! We put it on or beside everything.

    Also, 'Wallace & Gromit' saved Wensleydale cheese and now I can buy it at most grocery stores. It almost always has cranberries in it here, which I love! It's great for a cheese and cracker spread during the holidays!

    And finally, I'd probably be 20lbs lighter if I didn't love cheese so much.

      MELANIE: I don’t know how many types of cheese you have in the USA but France’s General de Gaulle once asked, "How can you govern a country which has 246 varieties of cheese?"

      I like to think it's our diversity is our greatest strength (certainly isn't politics! Boo!) I love that diversity shines through all of the different types of restaurants and cuisine a person can find relatively close to home. This was one of my first posts when I came back to blogging. https://nature-led.org/2020/09/24/at-home-in-an-indian-restaurant-in-japan/

      MELANIE: I read your blog post and saw your mention of poutine.

      Ahhh, poutine: the Canadian holy trinity of fries, gravy and cheese curds.

    The Sardinians have a very interesting cheese called casu marzu, you could make your own version of it by leaving a block of cheese outside, exposed to the elements, preferably next to your dustbin and hope bluebottles will lay their eggs on it, then when they've hatched, serve to your dinner guests, they'll be thrilled.

    Failing that, you can try any of the recipes featured in the "Delicious Cheese Hacks" Youtube. It's not letting me link the video which is a shame, there is a really good treat waiting for you at 0:26.

      MITZI: I Googled “Delicious Cheese Hacks” videos on YouTube but there are so many to choose from!

      I’ve been watching Stanley Tucci’s Searching for Italy series and if I wasn’t imagining it, casu marzu was featured. The fact that I had to look away from the maggots may be why I’m not clear on this memory.

    In rather a coincidence, just after I commented yesterday, I came across a conversation about cheese in the book I'm reading ("The Galaxy, and the Ground Within" by Becky Chambers). Three or four different species of alien find themselves disgusted and repulsed when they discover what this 'cheese' is that humans eat. And then, the alien telling them about cheese realises that she hasn't told them the worst part: that humans make it not from their own milk, but from the milk of animals!

      MR. DeVICE: It gives you pause to think when you place yourself in the shoes of aliens. Assuming that aliens wear shoes.
