Unless you are into your cheese in a big way then you might not even realise there was a National Cheese Awards. If you are cheese savvy enough to be aware of the awards themselves, it might still be news to you that this year there is a competition to make cheese
fashion at The Royal Bath and West Showground.
Fear not though, here at Newsnibbleswe have our ear to the ground and will keep you informed about any developments, no matter how cheesy.
The competition has strict rules. Competitors must make their offerings out of “cheese, or associated items”. We presume these include cows, sheep, any dairy products (excluding eggs), the moon etc. In point of fact, the list is whey too extensive to continue here. If you are thinking of entering, then you would be better off contacting the organisers for a comprehensive list of rules.
Students from Bath Spa University have played with the idea of Jimmy Choo shoes, to produce “Jimmy Cheese”. These trendy, yet edible editions to your feet will be a good way of explaining away embarrassing foot odour.
Not to be outdone by students, Graham, our man on the ground has provided us with a picture of his design (see image). The latest in Canine head wear, entitled Camembert-Wear was actually designed for Milly to wear to “The Wedding”.
“I hand Krafted it and it turned out to be very popular.” He tells us. “She was dogged by the press all day.” Graham was going to enter his creation in this year’s Cheese Awards but unfortunately Milly was made nervous by all the press attention and stress-ate her hat. Nonetheless, we are pleased to have a picture of it to display his talents to the full.
Potential entrants will be relieved not to be up against such professional Kraftsmenship. Milly offered this by way of a comment:
“Woof.”
So, if cheese is your thing, or you think that it may conceal your cheesy odour, check out the latest in edible fashion at this year’s National Cheese Awards. The fashion show runs from the 1st to the 6th of June at the Bath and West Showground near Shepton Mallet.
