"royale with cheese" news and stories

We love a bit of cheese here at Slashfood and can appreciate a cheesy on-screen moment. By “cheesy” we don't mean B-movies with low production value. We're talking about the real thing: creamy, tangy, smelly and - most importantly - edible cheese. Here is a rundown of some of our favorite cheesy movie moments and facts.

• The cheese-loving (albeit clay) star of Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit has brought notoriety to several British cheeses, including Wensleydale and Stinking Bishop. Production of Wensleydale more than quadrupled after it was featured in one of their animated short films.
• The voice of Wallace, Mr. Peter Sallis, does not like cheese. He doesn't mind pretending that he likes it, however, so fans of the claymation duo don't have to worry about Wallace swearing off cheese just yet.
• Monty Python's Cheese Shop Sketch is not exactly a movie, but it is still available on DVD. This sketch is one of the most popular Python sketches of all time, featuring a rather unusual cheese shop that is notable for its cleanliness and rather odd proprietor, but not for much of anything else.
