Hog Blog, Say Cheese!

Introducing the worlds most expensive cheeseboard!

Inspired by Sam & Pippen’s post ‘The shocking truth about cheese’, Here! we thought we would sniff out something cheesy for them to try. Curd your enthusiasm folks, how about the worlds’ most expensive cheeseboard? This can be yours for the eye watering price of £840 smackeroonies. No whey I hear you say! The recession busting platter was unveiled last week at the Frome Cheese and Agricultural show over in Somerset. The cheeses include a gold flaked truffle infused cheddar and a made to order Siberian donkey cheese. However the real cost of this curdling culinary extravaganza is £2,000 once the price of the board it is served on and all the accompaniments including jellies and preserves is added. Enough to drive you Em-mental! That breaks down to a mere £50 a mouthful. That really grates!  Let’s hope it is only the price that is hard to swallow Sam & Pippen!
