I must say that I was extremely impressed with the quality of the cheese available in the UK in the supermarket as opposed to the waxy junk we get here. I fell in love with some Scotish cheddar I bought at Morrison's that made me want to weep, it was so good. I also bought several other cheeses there as well. For one thing, the Scotish cheddar was white not bright, day-glo orange like ours is. Why do our cheese producers feel the need to dye our cheddar cheese orange? I brought several pounds of cheese back to the US in my luggage and the nice man at customs in the Las Vegas airport let me keep it.
Since then I have found a few stores where I can buy European cheese; Trader Joe's for one and a local store called Village Meat and Wine. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny. Do any of the other Americans here have any idea why our cheese is so inferior?
