The Big Cheese...

The big cheese actually means the most important person. How did this phrase come about? In earlier times the cheese didn't have to be big - 'the cheese' alone was a synonym for quality.

So it was fitting that this Cheese cake was made for my boss, on behalf of my team, to celebrate Boss's Day. My boss, the big cheese aka the most important person (he who writes our appraisal which determines our bonus...heehehehehe).  Six little mice = the six of us in our team :)
