| Giant goat-cheese fire closes Norwegian roadway for six days |
| 2013-01-23 |
| Chuck Simmins posted this elsewhere, but it's a 'must see' item! 27 metric tons of flaming goat cheese burned inside a Norwegian road tunnel, closing nearly two miles of the road for six days. Brunost, a Norwegian cheese considered a delicacy, was being shipped in a truck that caught fire. "This high concentration of fat and sugar is almost like petrol if it gets hot enough," |

| #14 The website describes Brunost as having a "slightly salty and surprisingly sweet flavor with a hint of goat about it." Now we know why some middle-eastern folks think Norway is a great place to live. |

| #8 I might have to be neutral, wholly Swiss, in such a flame war to avoid a melt down. |
