Glastonbury Festival - The Great Glastonbury Celebrity Cheddar Challenge

The Great Glastonbury Celebrity Cheddar Challenge

28 Jun 2003

The surprise public debut at this year’s Glastonbury Festival was the truly scrumptious cheese made via Worthy Farm’s very own moo-cows. A light, crumbly, tangy cheddar with a surprisingly creamy finish, it’s perfect with the dry, rough cider that you’ll find at various places around the Festival; just follow the most intoxicated looking people.

Gruff Rhys from the Super Furry Animals has agreed to be our celebrity taster:

Hello Gruff! Want some cheese?

Erm…is it a challenge, like, er, Pepsi or summat?

Yeah, just like that. It’s Worthy Farm’s very own cheese in a fresh, floury bap and thinly sliced mild onion.

Gruff chomps, masticates slowly and swallows. “It’ll make me go easy on the Indian in future,” he says.

Er, right. Anything else?

Lovely, excellent texture. Er, and a great source of vitamins…

Marks out of 10?

We wanted to call this article Food tastes better after Supergrass but Gaz Coombes allegedly doesn’t like cheese and has dodgy guts; but seeing as we liked the phrase anyway we thought we’d tell you about it.

Some people however, either couldn’t or wouldn’t take the cheese taste test. Bobby Gillespie, sitting beside a Winnebago, flatly refused to acknowledge the very possibility of tantalising his taste buds with such delicacies and his companion Kate Moss was similarly disinterested in our wholesome farm fayre. We can’t possibly think why, when money from every kilo sold goes to Water Aid.

Mind you, at least the Welsh psychedelicists like Glastonbury cheese.
