Slog - Comments on The Rolling of the Truckles http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/05/the_rolling_of_the_truckles More (sorry) about the Cheese Festival: To launch the Third Annual Seattle Cheese Festival off on the right wheel, a “Rolling of the Truckles” will pit men against cheese on Saturday, May 19 beginning at 10:00 a.m. A truckle is an 18-pound barrel-shaped cheese that’s taller than it is wide. Rolling one of these cylinders requires a special cheese spatula and, perhaps, a sense of humor. Competitors include: * Seattle’s Granite Curling Club * Chef/Ower Thierry Rautureau, of Rover’s restaurant * Kurt Beecher Dammeier, of Beecher ’s Handmade Cheese "Truckle": best word ever....

And who wants to get up at the crack o' ten to watch cheese log rolling?

Unless booze and melted cheese eating is involved, that is...

Cheers!
