4 pages on cheese graters
I think there was more time spent on whether people take their shoes off in the cinema.

Instead of praising graters why not admit they're dangerous, just a weird part of life which which can, sometimes, be circumvented.

By slicing cheese thinly with a very sharp knife?
that would be one solution, it's all about changing the way we eat

If you say cheese strings then we are going to fall out.

Reminds me of that wince-inducing documentary about a dominatrix in New York who had an inventive use for a cheese grater on her clients' anatomy. Not to mention loo roll tubes lined with sandpaper.

....why not get one of these and then leverage the purchase through cross-functional use for cheese preparation....?

"Best cheese grater you've never had?" thread is over there>>>>
I've got a boring rectangular one but now I want one of these:
Wasn't there a metaller in the 80's who had a cheese grater on the back of his guitar and would flip it over on stage and grate his fingers to pulp? Probably had to retire.

Pics!
My grandma had one that was basically a rusty old piece of tin. I'm surprised we didn't all get blood poisoning from it.

I don't think that would work. It would need some serious down force to stop it moving about. And also, the cheese just drops onto your work top so you'd have to scrape it off, which would mean you'd end up with cheese smeared on there.

The last time I saw one of those was when I was working for the Home Office....why not get one of these and then leverage the purchase through cross-functional use for cheese preparation....?

Grated cheese is better in almost every instance. The only exception I can think of is cheese and biscuits.

Cool people die horrible, preventable deaths.
I'm putting in another vote for this kind, which I think means it wins
I grew up with it. My parents still have it, I think, although to be fair it's only good if you want really finely grated cheese. Also, my parents one looks a lot more manky than that, as it's probably more than 50 years old and they are getting on a bit now, so to be perfectly honest the place isn't as clean as it could be. The joys of failing eyesight.
I tend to have a little clean up of certain areas when we visit - the sinks mostly, as they leave a bit to be desired. Plates and cutlery seem to be ok though and no-one's gone down with any food poisoning after many an epic family buffet or roast, so it's not like the place is a dump. It's just the little things you notice and them rattling around in a three bed house that only fills up if we all pile round, which we seem to do less these days, what with us all living so far apart now.
It's got me thinking recently though, this is what I have to look forward to with my kids isn't it? The great separation as they go out there and forge their own lives, get to stand on their own two feet and we, the people who tidied up after them, cleared up all the messes, dried all the tears, we just get less and less relevant to them.
I'll be calling my parents this weekend.

That is a nice looking grater. Would make a good lamp. I bet it was a great grater once upon a time.

This is the kind of post I started this thread for. Even though you're completely wrong about your grater.
