I used to be really allergic to cheese as a youngster - was OK to eat it but if it got on skin used to raise big red swellings -very odd
I'm sure this has always happened in primary schools around Christmas time - I believe it may have something to do with something called 'the lickle baby cheeses'.
Has anyone mentioned the Our Lord the Baby Cheeses yet?
Oops.Yes.
I haven't quite processed the fact that no-one on this forum nominated Dairylea. After all, what could be more Fortean than a flying triangle?Babybel cheese would work well. Mild and aerodynamic.
Cromer's Morrisons used to get a tramp coming in, he'd walk to the back of the store, undo the over wrap section cheeses (when he thought no one was watching), lick the cheese then wrap it back up again and put it back .. my mates were too busy laughing to tell security.It actually started in Cromer as a marketing ploy by the Cromer Cheese Council.

Do you remember two staff members a bit like Beavis and Butthead laughing at you? .. about ten years ago?That might have been me. I've licked the odd cheese in my time.
Does such a thing exist? 'Cheese' and 'good stuff' in the same sentence - whatever next!Most of the cheese I eat is the good stuff...
More to the point, does this mean that Escargot goes around disguised as a tramp?Do you remember two staff members a bit like Beavis and Butthead laughing at you? .. about ten years ago?
She licks cheese as well mate ..More to the point, does this mean that Escargot goes around disguised as a tramp?

One thing the US does not do well is cheese (other than the creamy stuff in cannoli). I'd certainly not hesitate to throw it away, because I like cheese, and what you get in the US is more akin to soap. I think it's because you have to use pasteurised milk in the US.
You might as well throw it at the baby - you'll probably both get more enjoyment out of that than eating it. Mind you, even in the UK most supermarket cheese is now a shadow of it's former aggressive self. You need to go to specialists to get a really genuine British cheese these days.

Edit - the sort of goopy cheese one might have on one's pizza or Philly cheese steak is ok. But I'm talking real eatin' cheese - that which you tuck in to with a crusty roll - also now difficult to come by - and some pickled onions after an evening on the lash.
And to be fair things might have improved in the nearly 25 years since I lived thereNew York or Vermont cheddar
Vermont goat brie
New York City fresh mozzarella
California goat cheese
you have to know what to look for by region.
Perhaps you weren't shopping in the right places to find quality cheeses? Supermarkets aren't much use for local or artisan foods.And to be fair things might have improved in the nearly 25 years since I lived there
The cheese stall at our local market sells cheese made just up t'road. The manufacturers sometimes get bored and chuck in extra ingredients like dried fruit, herbs and great lumps of chilli. It's sold for the same price as regular cheese. We are so lucky!

Couple of years back the fad was to give a baby or toddler a slice of lemon and film their reaction. I'm pretty sure I'd slap anyone I saw doing that.
