Atomic Shrimp Advent Calendar - 3rd December 2024 - Cheese Tasting

This is part of a series of simple, sometimes-festive but always-cosy videos to take us all the way through December, up to Christmas Day.

(*Except this advent calendar series, which is not on Early Access, because advent calendars need to be a surprise!)

Jenny deserves a medal. She deals with the whims of Mr Shrimp...

'Shrimp everyday' might I hope become an annual thing. Also thank you Jenny for appearing in this too.

[Moewenfels]

I hope Wayne sees this and can enjoy the delight his products bring to people :)

I enjoyed the Monty Python reference at the start. Thankfully the cheesemonger's shop wasn't uncontaminated by cheese, so you didn't have to shoot him. That would have been a senseless waste of a human life.
Also: Good that the cat hadn't eaten the very runny camembert.

Thank you Jenny for being in the video even though you’re not keen. ❤

I spy with my little eye Jenny wearing matching duvet blouse to Shrimp's duvet shirt. A very cosy luncheon for the duet.

Thank you for supporting small local businesses ❤

This one made me kind of emotional. Life hasn't been the best lately and seems to only get worse, but you really show how a small thing like going to a cheese shop can brighten a day.

Of course, I've never seen a cheese shop, and my mental health would keep me from even leaving the house but it was nice to see.

Thank you for these advent videos. It's something to look forward to each day.

Some things just shouldn’t be cheap. How very true. It may limit the amount you can have but that makes the treat all the better.

The videos always make me feel like I'm visiting a dear uncle. Not the weird kind, but the kind that always explains things about the world and you just soak it up because it's told in such an interesting way.
I wish I could be an uncle like that to all my nephews.

I love the word comestibles. We had a very haughty English teacher who, to be fair, played up to his cartoonish character. Mr Stoney, claimed to be ex SAS, pronounced everyone's surname phonetically to wind us up, but most importantly he called sweets, crisps & biscuits "Sub-cultural comestibles", as do I 42 years later.

Christmas is not Christmas without a lavish cheese board accompanied by a little fruit and, in my case, a glass of Port.

Watching an Atomic Shrimp video after work on friday is one of my favorite little rituals ive done for a while now. Now i get that joy every morning before heading off to work which really just brightens my day. Thank you for the videos they have helped me through a fairly tough few months and have always brought me great joy!

[flakeysnakey]

Such a treat to have a new Atomic Shrimp video to watch each morning!

[kylajedi]

These advent videos have brought so much joy into my life! My roommate and I have recently gotten very into cheese tasting. I was so excited to share this video with him, and after it was over we of course had to get out our own little cheese selection and do a tasting. Thank you for inspiring us!!!

Love cheese and lovely to see that shop you went to and hats off for giving the small business a plug.

[lisabarnes]

Thanks for inviting us to lunch :-)) really enjoyed the company

I have a cheese advent calendar this year, which, apart from the fact it has to be kept in the fridge, knocks the ol' chocolate ones into a cocked hat. The Blue Goat's cheese...I will have to track some down...two of my favourite cheese types in one!
