Once, again, Mr. Punch, with my help, is offering up a true Victorian riddle. The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations.
So, here's this week's riddle. We ask that you don't Google the answer. Mr. Punch would not find that sporting at all. Give it a shot and see what you can come up with. Here we go... No cheating...
What did the cheese say to the toasting fork?
UPDATE:
And the answer is...
"You are too pointed."
Thanks to all those who answered, and to those who hijacked the thread with talk of foodstuffs. Come back for more wacky fun next Friday with another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles.

You are so Gouda to me.
Ha! But, no.
I'm going to toast you.
Scary, Barb.
Wanna poke?
I trust you're answering the riddle, Kathy. And, no.
Fork you!
We've taken a very Unvictorian turn, guys. ; )
Just looking at you makes me melt.
Ah! Very clever! Good guess, Darcy.
I propose a toast.
Also clever, Carolyn. Nice try.
I think I'll be stuck on you.
Very close, Mark.
I like toasted cheese.
Well, how nice for you, Angelo. I think it's safe to say a good many of us do. I'm not sure what that has to do with the riddle, but I'm pleased to join you in the camaraderie of cheese.
I didn't know we could just share random thngs here. I like pickles. I really do.
We can't and we shouldn't, April. But I'll keep that in mind for Channukah.
Don't be sharp with me?
Very close!
Joseph, pickles are not a good Hannukah present. Eight nights of pickles......come on! No, pickles are a Passover gift...Why on this night do we eat cucumbers soaked in brine....for the delis we enjoy before Chinese on Christmas Eve. If you want to get me a good Hannukah gift, get me a nice pound cake. Now that's something even Esther's husband would appreciate.
I stand corrected, April. Shari Lewis didn't explain that part. By the way, is anyone else going to try to answer this riddle or are we going to talk about preserves now? Maybe watermelon rinds.
