It was only to be expected really, even though she claimed to be an experienced cheese-driver, rallying a Stilton around the country lanes of Gloucestershire is a bit different to taking a Brie out for a drive down your local High Street.
Not only that the speed that some of the high-end Double Gloucester can come off the cheese board from a standing start will do little more than leave a stain on your cracker, especially if you try to take the corner of a water biscuit without changing down your cheese knife.
Of course, some of those continental super-cheeses with their powerful acceleration and speedy assaults on the taste buds may look the part when you seem them spread out on the cheese board, not one of them would be suitable for an English country lane, especially at high speed, and as for using any of them as an off-road cheese, forget it. There you need the traditional English Cheddar, or at least a Red Leicester, unless you want to end upside down in a muddy ditch with butter stains across what is left of your face and a small heap of crumbs where your cheese biscuits used to be.
