If you are sitting around with nothing, and I do mean nothing to do today, you may just be bored enough to watch some cheese ripen. A website showing nothing but a large block of English cheddar has garnered enough attention that over 1 million viewers have checked in to watch it slowly ripen. No, sadly, I'm not joking.
The cheddar, from West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers, has been in front of a webcam and displayed on cheddarvision.tv since December, and has apparently attracted viewers from more than 100 countries.
In case you missed it, there is now a You Tube time-lapse video, so you can catch up on the ripening process to date in under a minute. And if that weren't quite enough excitement for you, you can also suggest a name for the cheese, if you feel so inclined.
