Blessed are the Cheesemakers

Sorry, couldn't help quoting Monty Python when I saw this article.

More sh.t news I'm afraid.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'C')heddar hits £2,000 a tonne as global milk demand soars

Cheese sandwiches and pizzas may no longer be a cheap snack. A combination of freakish weather and runaway global demand for milk is sending the price of cheese soaring.
In the past three months the wholesale price of cheddar in Britain has increased by £350 a tonne, breaking the £2,000 mark. Similar rises over the next quarter look likely and cheesemakers are braced for hefty price hikes.

It is bad news for pizza chains and Britain's fromage lovers who have enjoyed four years of the price remaining stable. But no more.

Peak Milk heheh, I actually hardly drank the stuff for years, but over the last 6 months or so I've been on a true fresh milk binge.

Looks like your luck is out Bas :) you'll have to go cold turkey on the white gold soon. Maybe you can score some semi skimmed down at the drug rehab?

Can eat Cheddar, have books on how to make it. All I need is a Cow!
