Curious Thoughts - Spread It, Lad!

In Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, Wallace has four different types of spread for his toast: of course, there's strawberry jam like he always has, but there's also blackcurrant jam, marmalade and of course...CHEESYMITE?! Okay, it's a bit like Marmite but with cheese in it, and everyone loves it.

But how is it made exactly? Do they take giant slices of cheddar and Wensleydale and turn them into jelly-like, cheesy mush? GROSS! It's when you think about it, guys, it's when you think about it. However, there is cheese sauce, and Wallace can use cheese from a Feaster's cheeseburger to melt on his toast. I tell you, a cheeseburger is much better than what they eat in the animations featured on Aardman's Darkside, it's disgusting!

But when you look at Wallace & Gromit, Wallace's love of cheese makes you want to crave cheese, crackers and toast too. Wallace has quite the appetite...

...and YOU should, too!
