Just had a nice crumbly hard caerphilly cheese sarnie.
Got to thinking "Hard Cheese" or, more recently "Hard Chedder" is a term for tough luck.

But I enjoyed my cheesy comestible :confused:

Anyone know how or when the term Hard Cheese became synonymous with tough luck?

There is no prize for this competition.

Probably started out when the outside of cheese had a rind on it, so the hard cheese was the worst part...........also more than likely a mile of the real reason, but it sounds good :P

Very Wet Cheese (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4729971.stm)

Cheese-maker Luc Boivin threw 800kg (1,700lb) of cheese in the Baie des Ha! Ha! in Quebec late last year, believing it would improve the taste.

I bet the French would eat it, CGK! They'll eat owt :gag:

Having used cheese for fishing I wonder if the fish in the Lake have been feasting on his sunken Cheddar :P
