The Last Auction Hero
One and a half million people have logged on to watch a round of cheddar cheese slowly maturing online.The 20 kilogram handmade cheese - named Wedginald by its creators - will undergo its nine-month grading test live on web TV on Thursday, when an expert cheese taster will pierce it with a special device to remove a core. The cheddar core will then be sniffed and tested for "depth and maturity". The Shepton Mallett cheese will be auctioned for charity at year's end.

ok, maybe i don't know much about cheesemaking,but i wonder if a show on paint drying can't be far behind....hahaha
I will admit, I've watched that cheese, classy fellow that it is!
Cheese is amazing stuff, and it's sad I live on the country with 'dead cheese'. I watched this whole program on the politics of cheeses and found out that onlu (mainly?) in America is it pasteurized to kill off what makes cheese cheese- all those wonderful living bacterium and enzymes.
There goes that award winning head line writing brain of yours again! Love it!
In another context this could be called Art Povera! There once was a sculpture created by an artist associated with that art movement who placed a lettuce between two pieces of stone. As the lettuce perished the stones moved. So you see what I mean (hopefully!)
