Armageddon for Cheese Lovers!
June 19, 2008
I stopped by Neal's Yard for the usual tasting of cheeses during a trip to Borough Market this afternoon and the cheese monger behind the counter fed me a taste of Cheshire cheese. "This is the oldest cheese in England. It's in the good book, you know, Cheshire is," the man said as he held out a small sliver of slightly crumbly orange cheese balanced on the end of his knife. "Oh?" I murmed, greedily eating the slice. "That's right," he responds. "In the book of revelations it says that after Cheshire cheese disappears from this Earth, God will come and deliver His Final Judgment."
"Really?" I asked. "In that case I'll have some of that!"
