The Norwegian Goat Cheese Tunnel Inferno

[ludwig]

I thought you could all do with an update on this story ..

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-21141244

// Kjell Bjoern Vinje, of the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, said it was the first time he could remember cheese catching fire on Norwegian roads.//

Indeed.

wouldn't want to make your cheese on toast with that stuff.

i would have put money on that title not appearing on ab

I'm convinced there are still people out there who have no idea how many calories there are in cheese. Too tasty to be treated as fuel though ;-)

Whoever dreamt up getting us all to drink skimmed milk was a genius… and is probably very rich, by now.

People are fatter than a decade or so ago, too. I'm not saying there's a link or anything but it's a curious coincidence, nevertheless.

It's definitely a rare bit of news.

looks like this story was conveyed from Norway by post-snail......

[bibblebub]

not a headline you'd normally see, indeed it's a rare bit of news

I think brunost is really a form of fudge. Some friends who saw it being made said that it was just milk boiled up with brown sugar, so not really a cheese at all.

I've never really understood why the BBC news site keeps displaying links to stories. It gives the false impression they're current.
I'm not aware of any subsequent cheese related tunnel fires in that region, so I should think the Norwegian transport authorities have put measures in place to prevent them.

[Ellipsis]

I'm very fondu of this story ...

[ludwig]

links to stories ....should read links to OLD stories

[bibblebub]

apologies - i must have been crackers for not spotting that the rarebit pun had already been made

[ludwig]

I did think to myself 'How dairy use that one again'?

[bibblebub]

i did look quite caerphilly at the other posts but missed it

[Hypognosis]

Gouda, would'a', should!a'… put a pun in the oven.

I really thought this was about a new Monty Python sketch...
