I use the large hole option after I have nailed my bollocks to the table.
The frisson is much improved and the sensation far more powerful and immediate. |

How can it be more economical to buy cheese pre grated?
I love that this thread has generated three pages. If anyone who likes James Acaster hasn't seen the Xmas special of Mock the Week, I recommend it. There's an hilarious bit between him and Rob Beckett.

![]() ![]() Fractal cheese........"Fractal Käse" (German translation) with Mandel Brot - A clearly made up type of German "bread" to go with said cheese, but Mandlebrot is the most famous of the mathematical non convergent complex functions or "fractal" sets (I guess along with the Julia set). |

Oh okay it's a maths joke - that explains why I don't get it. I tried googling 'fractal cheese' but nothing came up. So you have to understand the word fractal as relating to maths to even have a chance of getting anywhere near this joke. I guess you have to be there.
That made me laugh more than the original joke.

The first and last options for me. Big holes for cheese, three curvy slices used to slice carrots or cucumber. Probably cut myself about 50% of the time with the latter so don't always use it.
Saw this vid a while back as someone using one as a stove - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g4ZvQSzUCM |

I use one of these, which has a non-slip rubber rim around the base. You could almost grate one-handed.
![]() I've never thought of grating cheese as erotic. I do hope you wash your other hand afterward. |

That one handed broom thread was funny. The bloke was totally convinced that one handed is fine.
