Leaving Stilton out of the fridge

[farmerbarleymow]

I would just like to completely dissociate myself from any comment High Voltage makes about cheese.

What sort of nefarious opinions does High Voltage have on cheese? Obviously he's a wrong 'un, but curious what his views are.

Huh, as it happens I was just talking about this in the pub last night, I had one of those horrible ploughman's-in-a-bag things with cream crackers, cheese and pickled onions, and we were discussing whether they'd need to be stored in the fridge or could just be kept in a cupboard. I think as a result of the conversation, my little sister has now decided to stop keeping Laughing Cow in the fridge.

Cheese flies ftw

You're confusing cheese with fruit flies.

He hates it. All cheese. Obviously this is just more for me though

I was nearly at the end of my Président Brie the other day when in addition to the usual gnat-sized insects I quite often find and have to blow away, there was a larger one the size of a small ant - I left that bit of cheese.

It turns out it may well have been a cheese fly - as deliberately introduced to cheese in Sardinia to make "Casu marzu"

Cheese Fans! How far do you dare go?

I'll let you know if I detect any intestinal changes ...

Just as well my ill-fated detour from veganism is long over.
I resisted commenting on a certain US politician's enthusiasm for raw milk.
I imagine in the future I will be exploring plant-based ferments like natto...

Clearly a fucking weirdo - but all good as that means you have all the cheese.

I can confirm that babybel tastes best at body temp, straight out of the trouser pocket.

Just noticed that with a bit of editing you could sing the title of this thread to the tune of Squeeze's "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)"

I worked on a project with a French National company and they employed a local teenager who’s singular task was

“remove the cheese from the fridge at an appropriate time before meals”

Merdè oú est le garcon du fromage

I don’t think you should even put it in the fridge at all if it’s really good cheese.

If it's really good cheese then it may not even make it as far as the fridge.

I have on occasions finished the cheese I just bought before even getting to the car...

When I smoke cheese it could be in the smoker for up to 8 hours, it's best to keep it kind of wine cellar temp but I've been up to 28 C and it just got a bit sweaty.

Was briefly confused by the first few words of that sentence, thinking "but how does he get it to light?"
Apparently my brain has turned to Xmas sludge

Hahaha, yeah I've had that before.
