Of course you had to be Dutch. I swear, all my Dutch friends have like 3 of those an a couple of those electric grills with mini pans for melting cheese below
In all fairness, the slicer isn’t even useful for all cheeses. It’s convenient for Edam and similar ones though.
The cheese slicer is a great Norwegian invention and much used in all the Nordics. And The Netherlands. And Germany?
I think it mostly boils down to “what is cheese” to you. If you think you can even have an argument about whether you should cut “cheese” with a cheese slicer, then you come from a place where they make sense.
In my fridge I’ve got parmigiano, gorgonzola dolce and I just finished a rare piece of emmenthal. A slicer would have been useful only with the last one of those.
But my sandwiches! I hear all my fellow northerners cry. They’re great with brie or toma. No slicer needed.
