I absolutely have that gene
I’ve just ’needed’ a snack and all I could find was a Babybel (bought for my little grandsons). Supper was only a couple of hours ago.
Somehow I’ve managed to eat it on the sofa, watching Crufts, but Tuppy hasn’t noticed! I was really careful opening the noisy cellophane wrapping, but i thought she would have smelt the cheese. She’s definitely got the gene too, though.
