New cheese knife

[Bob Buzzard]

I got a great new cheese knife from the smelly French cheese stall in Borough Market - it?s a diamond cut Japanese steel cheese knife with a double serrated edge that obliquely cuts the cheese to bring out the flavour. And it?s cunningly made to look like a normal dinner knife so you don?t feel pretentious when using it. And it was reduced from ?99 to ?75! And it came in a recycled cardboard presentation box.

You're taking this one to the wire Bob

But I have to ask, only French cheese or can you cut Edam for adding to the pineapple sticks ?

[Bob Buzzard]

I really vintage Edam - very flavoursome. I?ve been using it for cutting Shropshire Blue.

Get a grip Bob

It?s only cheese. And imagine this. You get your super cheese knife out at a dinner party or lunch, you wang on about it.

Guests leave.

Them:

?What the fk was all that b0110x about a cheese knife, do the Japanese even eat cheese ?!?

You:

?I think they were impressed with my cheese knife?

[Spartacus]

I suspect, Seabag, that if Bob could do cheese carvings like some do with chainsaws in wood or ice, then his guests would be more impressed 🤔

Maybe his knife obsession is why Mrs Buzzard is obsessed with building work 😅

You can get really nice knife sets from bargain shops for about a tenner. They are a bit bendy and don't cut that well but look impressive.

I find it best to buy cheap mild cheddar of unknown country of production from the supermarkets. It cuts with a blunt table knife, and you don't have to worry about the taste as there isn't any. It goes well with any booze, particularly Concorde wine.

Sorry Concorde is out of stock, Babycham is a good alternative:

I can only eat and drink craft-based food and drink like Northern Monk pale ale or a artisan loaves - I get terrible dyspepsia with mass produced food.

Malumbu, this is the best post in a long time, I?m laughing out loud!

So no builders tea or bacon butties for you Bob, maybe that's Mrs Buzzards secret vice, a quick one in a greasy spoon🤔

Why is a greasy spoon called a greasy spoon? Surely a greasy knife and fork is more appropriate?
