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'm guessing if you don't use that much of it. I end up throwing away a lot of food when I try to buy fresh stuff and cook as none of it is made/packaged for one person.

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.

We have some of the Microplane Gourmet Series and they are brilliant. Much better than the "traditional" four-sided graters, especially for things like nutmeg and orange and lemon zest..

Sigh, when you have to explain........

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.

If people cannot process basic puns based on undergraduate level mathematics and the German laguage then I weep for the world; I really do.

you`d probably get it if you`d played around with fractal software, i`m ignorant in mathematics but they do make pretty patterns

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

Happy to oblige. No one can accuse me of not trying to find out the answer for myself.

I'm guessing Brexit and Trump came as a surprise to you.

Really?
I've never thought of grating cheese as erotic.
I do hope you wash your other hand afterward.

Erotic? No, I operate a broom with the other hand. I sweep the floor with it.

Yep. Just check price per kilo - ridiculous difference.

Obviously the non-grated is cheaper, but you've got to factor in the time it takes to grate the cheese yourself, and if Peg ODwyer turns out to be one of the UK's top earners then it would be more economical for her to pay someone else to grate it.

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

I have read this thread and have decided to use my cheese grater more often.

Turned out he was using his other hand to operate his phone. He wasn't playing with it though.
