So, I'm watching a show where they go around the world checking out cheese (
www.cheeseslices.com). Very interesting - Austin has great cheese stores.
The host goes to look at farmhouse cheeses in England and the producer tells him that every once in awhile they get a big round one that is 'funky'. So how do they get rid of it?
Well, they take it out in the field and the farmers shoot it with a high power bolt gun. They discuss the best Winchester ballistic tip ammo for such. Then they shoot the cheese with a slo-mo explosion. Neat!
Quite the substitute for ballistic gel.
Interesting point - the rifle had a suppressor on it. That's the UK with tight gun controls.
Also, the cheese show host took a shot but had his eye too close to the end of the scope and took a whack.
Strange thing to see on a food show. Maybe I can get the local TX cheese folks to donate a bad cheese for the next match? There is quite a set of artisanal cheese farms here now.
