LEGEND
WEST COUNTRY LEGENDS: HUMPTY DUMPTY
Contrary to the whimsical nursery rhyme, the original Humpty Dumpty was not an egg but a formidable cannon used by the Royalists to attack the city of Gloucester in the Civil War of 1643. Legends tells us this mighty weapon was placed atop a wall to bombard the city’s defenders, but during an attack, it tumbled into a beck below. It couldn’t be retrieved by the Kings’ soldiers, forcing them to abandon the siege - leaving Gloucester’s defenders undefeated.
These robust Double Gloucester Cheese Straws are made with genuine local Gloucestershire cheese… and hard to beat too!
Double Gloucester cheese plays a leading role in the legendary cheese rolling event at Cooper’s Hill in Gloucestershire. It’s an incredible sight, indeed - a great wheel of cheese rolling down a steep slope, pursued by eager competitors. The cheese itself can reach a staggering 70 miles per hour, making it nearly impossible to catch. But for the brave souls willing to risk a tumble and a bruise or two, the reward is grand indeed. The first to cross the finish line at the bottom wins not just the race, but the glorious wheel of cheese itself.
