Submerged cheese vanishes in fjord
LE BAIE, Quebec, Oct. 11 (UPI) --
A Quebec cheese company has lost 1 ton of Cheddar it sank in a fjord as an experiment, and not even divers have been able to find it.
Last year, cheesemaker Luc Boivin of La Fromagerie Boivin in Le Baie lowered the enormous Cheddar 150 feet into the Saguenay fjord, north of Quebec City to experiment with the pressure, cold and moisture.
But the cheese has disappeared.
Neither high-tech locating equipment not divers have been able to find it, and Boivin told the Globe & Mail he's written it off as a $50,000 loss.
However, Boivin said he still believes in the project, and within the next few weeks, will drop another load of cheese in a stainless steel, submarine-type vessel into the bay.
But this time, he's taking no chances -- the Cheddar will be outfitted with a tracking device.

Experiment? Sounds like a way to funnel cheese to the Iraquis to me...

I found it... Check it out man: http://www.el-burrito.com/about.html. So, it's in Utah. That's probably why his son moved out to Seal Beach...
Happy Cheese Friday!
Did you get your kitchen cleaned Mr. DNA? I didn't.
