Yes, I quote Wallace often when I cut off a slab of Polly-O Part-Skim Mozzarella to munch on - “CHEEEEESE!!!”
Milk is for baby cows...........enough said.
and you MUST hold your hands up, with fingers folded down, thumbs in, waving them back and forth while saying it! :)
My youngest daughter LOVES cheese and Wallace and Gromit, so I do it to her when she’s on a cheese kick :) :) :)
As opposed to the government cheese. :)
Dittos. I make butter. I butter my cheese. Bread is only a vehicle for getting the butter to my mouth without licking the knife.
That’s one of those that makes your screen get all misty.
LOL. Indeed! Classic cheese poetry will do that to you.
The cheese James McIntyre (1827-1906) is referring to in the poem weighed over 7,000 pounds. McIntyre wrote his poem after being impressed with the cheese when appeared at The Great World Show in Toronto in 1884.
Incidentally, it was that same show for which the Effel Tower was erected when it went later to Paris in 1889.
Holy moly — 7000 pounds? That. is a big cheese. It’s no wonder he was moved to write something so reverential and poignant.
