Lidl cheddar is vile. Stephen Send a noteboard - 10/09/2011 10:28:19 PM
Hardly. Good cheddar is nice enough, but the cheaper kinds are somewhat hit and miss in my experience - and in any case I think there are tons of cheeses that are a lot better. In the US you almost need a specialized shop to encounter anything other than cheddar and "Swiss cheese", though, in my experience at least. No wonder people start thinking cheddar is the best cheese, if it's essentially the only cheese...


Tastes like salted vinegar. Otherwise I think cheddar is a good all-rounder.

Ireland is much better than the US on the cheese front, it appears. My local supermarket has a good twenty varieties, and this is in a small town barely deserving of the title 'town'.

Fromage? Good stuff. Though you can't really get it too much here. LordPerrin - 10/09/2011 10:08:01 PM 631 Views
Interesting... you have a kind of cheese that is referred to as fromage? Legolas - 10/09/2011 10:11:38 PM 649 Views
I have never in my life seen such a thing. Ghavrel - 11/09/2011 07:37:50 AM 684 Views
Cheddar is okay. What isn't okay is the US doesn't seem to have much of anything else. Legolas - 10/09/2011 10:10:34 PM 808 Views

I am picky about how I have my American Cheese... LadyLorraine - 11/09/2011 03:09:40 AM 634 Views
That's just because American is processed to the point of total consistency. Ghavrel - 11/09/2011 07:36:48 AM 658 Views
if they use the right kind of cheddar properly, I do prefer it LadyLorraine - 11/09/2011 02:48:44 PM 645 Views

When I was in the US, I tried some of that spray on cheese Colonel Logain - 12/09/2011 12:55:29 AM 633 Views
Those are processed, yes. As is "American" cheese. As is most cheese you find in supermarkets. Ghavrel - 12/09/2011 02:21:36 AM 675 Views
