Cheese

[ladyofastolat]

The Co-Op is offering "2 for £3 on territorial cheese." However, when I picked up some Double Gloucester and put it in with the Red Leicester, there was absolutely no bloodshed or even mild snarling. The Red Leicester just sat there, apparently totally undisturbed by the intruder. I was bitterly disappointed.

Wrong sort of cheese. You need Lancre Blue.

[philmophlegm.livejournal.com]

I don't know that one.

I need to do a cheese post sometime soon with thoughts on my favourite cheeses.

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

I shall look forward to it.

And, adaese wonders if you read Pratchett ... ?

[philmophlegm.livejournal.com]

Aahh.

[torkell]

It's from Pratchett's Discworld series. Real Lancre Blue cheese has personality, and is known to eat lesser cheeses...

Closest equivalent here would probably be Stilton.

Oh no, the closest equivalent would be something I ate at Tavistock Cheese fair, only I've forgotten its name. It was *pungent* and I swear if you looked at it again after a minute, it had moved...

Little Stinky it was called. Whalesborough farm. Most evil cheese I have ever met.

And are territorial cheeses anything like the territorial army, fulfilling the role of part-time backup cheeses? And are there also volunteer reserve cheeses?

[ladyofastolat.livejournal.com]

I very much hope that there are volunteer reserve cheeses. Also that there's a sitcom called Dad's Cheeses, that dramatises the comical misadventures of a batch of very minor cheeses in their earnest desire to protect the people of England from the ravages of the Healthy Eating Army.
