While you may think that your friendly Gear Diary team subsists on gadgets and electricity, we in fact consume tasty comestibles just like anyone else.  In fact, you might be surprised at how much of our private chatter is taken up by food-related topics.  (Two weeks ago:  Texas bar-b-qu places.)

So while it is not in our usual line, we bring you news from Find Me a Gift, a “unique gift” site in the U.K.:  the Gangster (cheese) Grater.  The Gangster Grater is in the shape of a classic 30s-era car, complete with bullet holes for that authentic, Al Capone, bootlegger feel.  Available from Find Me a Gift for about 7 bucks.

Full information below.

The Gangster Grater is a fun novelty cheese grater in the shape of a classic 30’s gangster car.  This super stainless steel Grater is dishwasher safe and comes complete with bullet holes so you can grate your cheese up in true gangster style!

Is your current cheese grater rather lacklustre or a worn out old wreck?  Instead of grating your cheese with a boring old rust bucket, why not drive your cheddar through a sparkling 1930’s styled car with the fantastic Gangster Grater?  Ok, so it’s riddled with bullets but that’s what makes this car ‘grate’, quite literally in fact! This fun novelty grater allows you to rasp red Leicester with roguish charm, pulverise mild to mature cheddars  and criminalise basically any cheese you care to grate through it!
