...unless it's with some over processed orange rubber cheese! :P

See now I imagine that must be illegal!

As an avid cheese lover, I am so glad I can get real cheddar cheese in England.  It's just like the american stuff (only much much better).  I have my milk air freighted in from California.  The slogan in CA is true....Happy Cows come from California.  And I was afraid of mad cow disease  ;D  DON'T EAT THE BEEF!!!!

Ridiculous as all this cheese talk may be, Tillamook from the good old USofA is still my favorite cheddar!

Not being nasty or anything, but is this thread a joke? 

Indeed, it is. ;) See here where it all started: http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=549685

I'm wondering how many threads can be transformed into cheese threads today!? All cheese, all the time!  ;D

I like that idea! ;D

And I thought Brits were supposed to be good at sarcasm?! ??? ;) ;D

(probably been living too long in America... :P)

Saying 'tomato ketchup' vs simply 'ketchup' was a good clue to the author's native identity, IMO. ;)  -- especially if it's 'to-mah-to ketchup'

Ah so this all stems from "cheese" in another form! 
Or cheesy is more like it! :D

Ooh, I love that stuff! I love that you can buy massive bricks of it.
Also, when I lived in Oregon the Tillamook factory was popular with schools as a field trip destination so of course we all went multiple times. :P

You know, I've actually been craving American cheddar cheese!  I like mild cheese.

I'd really love a good grilled cheese sandwich, but Sainsbury's mild cheddar is not mild enough for what I want and Tesco's mild cheese melt all greasy.  Yuck.

Anyone know of a type of cheese that doesn't melt greasy and is mild?

Try the Morrison's value mild cheese. The 'coloured' stuff is nice because it reminds me of Californian mild cheddars. I think it does best on the melt factor.
Another shameless promotion for www.mclevey.com, the best place on the internet to buy art.

Or go to the deli counter instead of just looking at the prepackaged stuff.  Or go to a proper cheese shop!

This is the best!  There's a great little shop in Tavistock, Devon that carries all local cheeses.  It is amazing and you can taste everything, plus you go in and say what flavour and what use the cheese is for and they can come to a close approximation!

Sorry can't resist the plug as I love these people.
