Um and Cheddar, surely?
Each to their own. I rate Cheddar just above dairy lea triangles. Good for Sarnies/pasta but not a good cheese in its own right. But yes, they do do the best Cheddar in Somerset  |

Various rules about hygiene, commercial production, packaging etc, have tended to remove the tastes from foods. Try getting a decent mushroom these days.... |

You may be right Reg.

My vote for worst cheese is some smelly stuff my nan used to bring back from Germany. A quick google suggests it could be Limburger, but the though of getting some to find out makes my stomach retch. And I haven't smelt it in 20 odd years.
Casu marzu had to be up the too. But I dont class anything with live maggots in as food.

The food industry does a great job in producing relatively cheap and available commodities to keep massive numbers in our society fed, not something to be sniffed at. |

The best cheddar i've ever had was Snowdonia Black Bomber.
I haven't found it in Swindon, but bought some in a cheese shop in Bath.
Ooh me too, it's lovely stuff. Some of their flavoured ones are rather lovely too (the Red Devil is brilliant, got a proper kick without masking the flavour). I order mine on t'internet but I see there's a place in Malmesbury that is supposed to have it. Re: stinking bishop, I think there's a deli on Malmesbury high street that sells it. Or it certainly used to last year. |

Both Dobbies and Butts Farm shop on the a419 have black bomber and red devil. However, for a really incredible cheddar - get yourselves a truckle of this: http://www.worthycheddar.co.uk/website/ |

Cheese....yuk yuk!!
but if you come up to the Highlands, have a taste of the various cheeses produced at Highland Fine Cheeses, here in Tain. They are excellent - including Morangie Brie (no it is not infiltrated with glen morangie), Strathdon Blue, and a goodly cheddar - and the one and only cheese i do eat, which is called Caboc, and is like a creamy butter, rolled in oatmeal....put it on a Cromarty oatcake, yum!

That reminds me - Isle of Mull cheddar is utterly fantastic |

For those that mentioned smoked cheese, you can't go far wrong with a bit of smoked applewood. Beautiful creamy and smokey taste to it and very versatile.
