Now that you’ve had one of your family days out this year at the recent cheese festival in Cardiff, what famous cartoon characters would you expect to see there if of course they were real people?

Not Gromit but Wallace

Everyone must have heard of this British toon.  This inventor from Lancashire has big ears to go along with his huge love for cheese. His personal cheese of choice, well it has to be Wensleydale.Of course the first time we laid eyes on the pair was way back in 1989 in the film A Grand Day Out in which the pair actually travel to the moon as they realise they have run out of the best food ever- cheese. Gromit, being the smarter of the two would have found it easier to go to the shops but of course he cannot talk at all being a dog.

The laughing cow (yes really)

Simply here because it has become a huge world wide sensation and is actually the oldest on the list as the original drawing for the product was drawn by the creator of the product in 1924 and was the first cheese product to actually be branded in France.

Jerry the mouse

This one is easily the most famous and the love of cheese comes simple as he is a mouse. Surely everyone knows what this one is about. The tense hatred that a cat and mouse have for eachother is really shown here via Tom and Jerry's never ending battle. Back in the days these cartoons used to contain comic violence but with the way the world is now have since been toned down in recent years.

So if you fancy yourself a bit of cheese why not go to a cheese festival and try a variety of cheeses. UK family holidays can be catered around all kinds of festivals from cheese all the way up to music.
