Today is National Cheese Day - not to be confused with 'grilled cheese day' or 'cheesecake day' or indeed 'mac and cheese day' - this is the Queen of all diary, the big cheese !

>>> Cue Messrs John Cleese and Michael Palin for the Cheese Shop sketch.

It originally appeared in Monty Python's Flying Circus episode 33 "Salad Days" on 30th November 1972. I wont give too much away about the Forty-three cheeses mentioned in the original sketch but there is music to be enjoyed and as Mr. Mousebender (Cleese) initially expresses appreciation of the music, being "one who delights in all manifestations of the Terpsichorean Muse" the bouzouki playing away in the background adds to the craziness - 

Happy Cheese Day >
