Now, I've never been a huge sports fan, so maybe it shouldn't be a surprise that I just learned about cheese racing today. If you don't think that what you see here looks like a sport, well, I'm right there with you. As explained on the official Cheese Racing Association (CRASS) website, this game of British origin basically consists of throwing individually wrapped slices of cheese on a moderately hot barbecue grill and seeing which one inflates fastest. Full inflation means that all for corners of the plastic sleeve are off the grill. According to CRASS, the bags don't melt, they just puff up like balloons. I never knew that, and I don't feel the least bit bad about it. As can be expected, alcohol is definitely a factor.
I'm sure it's exciting, but for outdoor drinking fun that skirts the line between game and sport, I think I'll just stick to bocce.
Oh, and lets not confuse this with cheese rolling.
