• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

What's Your Favorite Cheddar?

Me too - cheese is probably the main reason I could never be vegan. Last year on our wedding anniversary we treated ourselves to a selection of cheese from the cheese room at our local farm shop - they have about 100 different cheeses (only 5 of which are cheddars though!). I left hubby in charge of ordering so we ended up with 2 kilos of cheese :happy:

Below is a picture of the cheese room...it only shows a fraction of the space though. The general public aren't allowed inside any more - we have to look through the window and talk to the staff via a hatch in the wall. Luckily they also have a catalogue you can download from their website, or they are happy to advise you. My current favourite cheese is Lyburn Garlic & Nettle (though I'd like to try some of Lyburn's other cheeses too).

Looks beautiful!
 
I like it sharp, as sharp as possible. But I found something that is a world beyond;

Jim's smoke cheddar. It is from south of here and only available once in a while.

I tried a bunch of different brands and they all suck.

We use either sharp or extra sharp.

As far as other cheeses, Papillon bleu from France or Maytag blue from the U.S. Parm R from Italy of course. Gruyere. There's only 1 or 2 cheeses we've ever tried we didn't like.
