2m kilos of cheese!

[topcat2014]

Apparently 2 million kilos of cheese will be thrown away over Christmas?

How is that even possible? I am fairly sure I have never thrown any cheese away - I didn't know you could?

Now, sprouts I can understand :)

What the what now? Struggling to think why you would...it keeps for ages, surely you'd get through it in sandwiches, toasties, crackers, grated on pasta aaaaaaand I've made myself hungry

Maybe, maybe, people are given it as gifts but are too polite to admit they're allergic???

Well I'm not going to help anyone eat it or else it'd be 2m kilos of puke.

I volunteer to eat all the leftover brie

What? Why don’t peopel freeze cheese

how can anyone throw away cheese?

You can freeze chesse, no need to throw it.
I don't think I've ever throw it away, we eat it too fast.

I reckon at least half of it is Wensleydale with cranberries. People just buy it in Christmas packs because it looks pretty, but I don’t believe anyone actually eats that stuff.

Ours end bits and uneaten ones get thrown into a fondue pot at New year, delicious!

I'll be eating it.
Then eating it.
I might eat some.
Then more cheese eating.

Oh I love cheese so much.

Not true at all fish legs my dd would eat a pack of wensleydale and cranberry every week if she could. She adores it! It's that awful blue stuff that gets thrown out cos it's manky

Blue cheese is the best.

Soft cheese can go mouldy (like green mould not good mould on Brie etc) if left too long. Not that it happens in our house

I agree with @Fishlegs yuck! Just why?

Cheese does not go to waste in our house. It mainly ends up in our bellies 😋
Who did they ask anyway?

They can send it to me. Where I live the cheese is crap and I haven't had anything other than "white cheese" since May with no chance of anything decent until next May!

I reckon at least half of it is Wensleydale with cranberries.

true, its definelty the worst ranked cheese in this house.

I would never willingly choose to eat cheese. I just don't like it.

Ooh I love Wensleydale with cheese!!

I don't think I've ever thrown cheese away. Ever. Wensleydale & cranberries mixed with cheedar as cheese on toast is dc 1 & 3's favourite Christmas holiday lunch! They've already asked for it on Saturday.

Tbh, between me, dh, 5dc, 2 dogs & 2 guinea pigs it's very very rare food goes in the bin.

We have just had a lively discussion about our cheese shelf in the fridge. I want to move house and have cheese drawer so I don’t have to wait to for it to come to room temp.
Chese it the most versitile of foods.
Maybe we should start a cheese amnesty. You can stick a sign on your door and unwanted cheese can be posted through.

If cheese ended up in my fridge I would throw it away can’t stand the stuff!

I think that's a brilliant idea Flashing.

Cheese is the food of the gods and clearly the UK is a nation of heathens

Ok OP me and BernardsarenotalwaysSaints agree so you can to respond to whoever did that research that you’ve solved the problem. I assume you were looking for solutions? This way there’s more cheese for cheese lovers.
Are fondues making a come back? How good would that be on Boxing Day?!

Probably the cheese with fudge, rum and raisin that someone recommended on another thread, what an abomination. Unadulterated cheese is never wasted in our house. I don’t think I’ve ever thrown any out. It doesn’t really go off does it?
