.........A Cheese wire? You need a long hard word with yourself caller.

Why?

Am I missing something here?

Well, I've managed without one for my whole life and never resorted to buying pre-sliced.

Is there an app for that then?

[Terry]

Give me a cheese wire anytime.

Much better and easier than a knife - especially for soft cheeses - and it will do your slices for you rather than having to resort to pre sliced.

Probably for the i-scouse hand held machete.............

For getting thin slices of cheese for cooking or whatever, these cheese slicer things that you drag over the cheese are good:

I like cheese but as I try to eat a reasonably healthy diet, I'll use thin slices of something stronger like an aged Dutch cheese. (That's what is readily available where I am working in Luxembourg.)

Remember those from my time in Germany - very useful! But never see them here. Has anyone else spotted them?

got mine from Makro Pran. Aro brand

I've just had a look at the one I have in my apartment here and it came from Ikea but I'm not suggesting that you drive 230 km to Bangkok on the off chance that they have a cheese slicer!

Funny short story. When my daughter was still crawling she would crawl over to the sofa where I sat watching TV and snacking on blue cheese with smoked salmon and/or German smoked sardines in olive oil. She attacked it all and to this day at the ripe age of 7 is still a lover of blue cheese, smoked salmon and smoked German sardines in olive oil. Can't get her to eat non-smoked sardines though. I personally didn't touch blue cheese or sardines until I was in my 20s. Goes to show that early habits hang on forever I guess. Pete

Thanks a lot lads - Obviously will try Makro Pran first but, otherwise, we were planning to go take a look at Ikea some time in the near future anyway.

Don't forget to get some peas too

[caller]

many would disagree Caller! OK - I'm on a level with York - but surely Harrogate has Waitrose?

Ah, that is north, never mind!

Right, lets put the Waitrose thing to bed, as I said they are mainly southern based, just check their branch finder, with a few t'up north where the money is. I have three near to me, in Newbury, Marlebrough and Wantage and Mags, you must know their sliced cheese isn't just for export?

When I was a kid, I worked in an old style grocers, a dying breed at the time, even got to ride the delivery bike, with the big frame on the front. But my favourite job was slicing and then wrapping cheese when I was finally allowed to serve, don't ask me why? A knife just can't do it in the same way - I must get a cheese wire now! Glad to see others agree!

I've got 2 Aldis, M&S, a Tesco and a Morrisons in 5 mins drive.

I have never ever seen a Lidl though, are they a southern thing?
