I think I've had some cheese that was 7500 years old. At least, that's what it tasted like

Nice article.

Are you sure that wasn't fruitcake?

What about the crackers?

I quite believe it about cheese being made 7,500 years ago.

In fact, I'm sure they tinned it and issued it to us as cheese possessed.

Oh boy I remember that stuff
It'd squeak on your teeth as you bit into it.

I know lads that loved it for some reason - awful stuff.

Mice used to throw themselves on traps to avoid it.

Over here, fruitcake doesn't have the same reputation as it seems to have in the US.

Don't blame them! I remember the squeak (of the cheese, not the mouse )

I know. And believe it or not some of us over here like it (including me) I think the reputation might com from the fact that fruitcake takes a while to age properly and that even then it will still keep quite a while before spoiling.

There've been a couple of good documentaries on the History Channel about it (Shows how boring my life can be at times if I watch docs on fruitcake. LOL)
