What cheddar...The Poll!

[Biddlybee]

Mature or extra mature please

 

[fishfinger]

Usually mature, sometimes extra mature.

Can't see the point of mild - it's just like milk, with a hint of rigor mortis.

 

[beeboo]

Montgomery from Neal's Yard

 

[bodach]

Gorge.

 

[Mallard]

Extra Mature grated on baked beans for me. I'm not a fan of the rubbery Mild Cheddar from the EU Value Mild Cheddar Mountain.

The stronger the better. We get stuff that has XXXX Mature on the pack. People who like Mild Cheddar should be shot.

Fuckinell!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Extra mature, preferably from Canada.

How can Cheddar be Canadian (quips about Carbon aside)?

 

[Stig]

Extra mature vintage, with the white crystals in it. Anything else is just like eating coloured lard.

Dunno, but the best stuff I know comes from Canada.

 

[rennie]

Red Leicester.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Cheddar so strong that eating a chilli gherkin with it seems like bliss in comparison!

Cheddar is cheese for people who don't like cheese imo, it's bland and boring.

You're not eating the right cheddar. The stuff you get in Neil's Yard is lush (Applebys or something). And what better to melt on toast? different cheeses for different occasions innit (which is why my fridge is full of the stuff ).

You haven't eaten good cheddar then.

What cheese do you like?

Red Leicester but other stuff like Roquefort, I'd go for jarlsberg if I want something easy. I don't think I like the taste of cheddar.

 

[lynne8]

yeah it sucks.

I look at porn and turn my screen upside down so the fanny loads first

oh, and the cheese thing, the older the better!

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

As mature as possible.

My local chinese supermarket is the one place I can get cheese. They stopped getting half decent cheddar for a while and started getting this american crap which is so bland you can barely taste it, and that's with the strong stuff.

Then they've got the half decent stuff again but it's nearly 3 quid for a 250 g block!

In America, the cheddar they mark as 'super strong, extra-sharp, watch out it's going to blow your head off' is about as powerful as Cheshire cheese.

 

[ajk]

Their chocolate's shit as well.

I'll have my cheddar scrotum-tinglingly aged please. Bus-pass worthy, if possible.

Agreed, that very much matches up to the crap I bought. It was meant to be strong and tasted like red bloody leicester.
