I don't know if you have ever heard a phrase that says, don't play with food. Well in the UK apparently they don't, they have cheese competitions. I have seen several, one where they literally kill each other for a big circle of cheese and another where they are labeled as cheese runner, a competition where two people in corrugated tubes carry cheese, I guess it is a competition to get it from point A to point B as fast as possible and without falling, with prizes and even numbers.

But not only in the UK they do it, in London apparently they do it too. I don't criticize them because it is probably a tradition and they don't see it as bad as one would see it from here, but certainly it is food or a product almost consumed enough and that people in need would give anything to have a little piece and those people playing with them. I suppose that those rolls of cheese are not wasted, although playing with them and walking around I don't think they would give them away destroyed and contaminated, but that is up to the organizers.

No sé si han escuchado alguna vez una frase que dice, con la comida no se juega. Pues en Reino Unido aparentemente no la conocen, hacen competencias con queso. He visto varios, una donde se matan literalmente por un círculo de queso grande y otra donde se les catalogan como corredor de queso, una competencia donde dos personas en unos tubos ondulados transportan queso, supongo que es una competencia de llevarlo de un punto A a un punto B lo más rápido posible y sin caerse, con premios y hasta números tienen.

Pero no solo en Reino Unido lo hacen, en Londres aparentemente también lo hacen. No los critico porque seguramente sea una tradición y allá no lo ven tan mal como lo vería uno desde aquí, pero ciertamente es comida o un producto casi bastante consumido y que gente con necesidades daría algo por tener un pedacito y esa gente jugando con ellos. Yo supongo que esos rollos de queso no se desperdician, aunque jugando con ellos y paseando no creo que lo regalen así todo destruido y contaminado, pero eso ya queda en parte de los organizadores.
