The large cheese Lord Portly-Rind buys, instead of a children's hospital, has "Hobson's Choice" written on it a few times. The phrase may have originated from Thomas Hobson (1544-1631) a livery stable owner in Cambridge England. Customers would only be offered the horse nearest the door, this ensured a good rotation of his horses and no quibbling from customers demanding better horses. It is also the title of Hobson il tiranno (1954).
