Food Tour of Fandom [Mon, Period 2]
When Bond's class entered the Danger Shop today, they would have found themselves at the top of steep, grassy hill. At the bottom of the hill and off to one side, there were a number of trestle tables set up with food. Bond stood at the top of the hill with them, holding what looked suspiciously like a large wheel of cheese.
"It may come as something of a surprise, but one of the staples of British cuisine is cheese," he began. "In fact their are somewhere in the region of seven hundred varieties of cheese produced in Britain, many of which are named after the counties they originated from, some of which have been produced there so long that they're covered by Protected Designation of Origins, which basically means that the cheese has to have been made in a certain area, in a certain way to be legally sold under that name. This tradition of cheese-making has also led to other traditions, like the Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake, which involves a number of men and women gathering on Cooper's Hill on the last Monday in May, then chasing a cheese down the very steep hill for glory and the cheese."
By now the class could probably guess where this was going.
"Now the cheese traditionally used in the race is a Double Gloucester, much like the one I'm holding, but there's also a wide selection of cheeses for you to try at the bottom of the hill."
With that, Bond smiled at them and tossed the cheese down the side of the hill.
