An epochal decision that could have a massive impact on the human race.

I'm still not altogether clear on how grating the bigger flakes on the front equates to more wastage, compared with grating the cheese to a finer pulp from the rear resulting in less wastage. Half a pound of grated cheese is half a pound of grated cheese, regardless of the dimension of the shreddage.

I'm not dismissing the concept, but before I go changing my cheesegrating technique at the drop of a hat, a technique honed over many years to take into account courseness, age, size of cheese, not to mention crumble-factor, I need to see some clearly defined advantages and long term benefits.

I will be publishing my doctorate on the subject, but I'll try and explain it for the layman.

Big heavy strips of grater expectorant require more cheese to provide an obvious cheese filling.
The LEFT HAND SIDE (it's very important we get this correct people) expectorant is finer cheese threads so provides bulkier cheeseness without the weight.

Oh you're one of 'them'.

You have failed to understand the wastage from cavalier grating, as opposed to the more controlled environment, of leftism.
Your assertions of 'fluff' only derails your argument further, as that has been outlawed as cheeseaphoic abuse.

You can take your old fashioned graters, and your front side or left side graters and shove them where the sun don't shine. All you need is this. Different lids for different grating, and absolutely NO wastage as it all goes into the box.

I think I can just detect the Ikea logo on the side, we have a white version of this which has a lid so may be used for cheese storage as well. Just thought I would share that with you all.

You know you will burn in hell for you conversion to smaller gratation??

MArk 45:7:c (small print) .....and Jesus said Low only the devil himselg would use anything but the corsest gratation setting. He who tries to make his cheese go further by making it smaller is a tight arse who will be cast into the firey pits of hell.

On the other hand there is much evidence to suggest that Jesus' loaves and fishes trick was mainly down to finer grating.

Either way you are messing with a dangerous illusion Stat Brother.

I often pine after the cheese graters of yesteryear.

We used to have a grater such as this one. Grating cheese has never been the same since it's demise.

I'm glad I am not alone, my grater has the little holes that are prominent on the back, they seem to snare the cheese.

I am either doing something wrong or my cheese grater isn't great?
