Comments on: William Oglethorpe, Cheese Maker https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/11/02/william-oglethorpe-cheese-maker/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sat, 14 Nov 2015 00:18:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Jan Kees van Donge https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/11/02/william-oglethorpe-cheese-maker/#comment-1051591 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 00:18:22 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=140072#comment-1051591 We know William Oglethorpe since the 1970s and were always impressed by the way he shaped his life. This is another example of great creativity on a modest scale. To dedicate your working life to good food going against the universal spread of bland taste is a great thing.

It is inspiring in this world of huge corporations, ultra-new technologies, and an economic system that rides roughshod over Nature, to see William doing something totally different, drawing on old traditions of making wholesome and delicious food, and in ways respectful of the natural world. I can imagine how proud his parents, James and Ann, would be if they could look on this ‘Blue Planet’ and see what he is creating.

Thank you.

The only thing missing from the last picture is a large glass of red wine in William’s other hand…

Did you know that the great book-collector John Ratcliffe (1707–76) was inspired by the ‘waste’ paper – ancient manuscripts – he bought by the bundle to wrap the cheeses in his Bermondsey shop? http://bit.ly/1FVYfIG

Now to go in search of the cheese….
