Cheese!
I recently got some Welsh Cheddar from Trader Joes ... scoffed the lot within a couple of days! :)
Trader Joes is a long drive, whereas Stater Bros is just around the corner ... and today I discovered that they sell Irish Cheddar (two types - medium & vintage), so for dinner today I stuffed myself silly with french bread, yummy cheese, salad with Heinz salad cream and salt & vinegar crisps, totally disgusting but very nice at the same time! :D So, if any of you don't live near Trader Joes, but do live near Stater Bros and fancy a bit of Irish Cheddar you know where to go! |

I did get some Canadian Cheddar from Trader Joes (seem to remember you were the poster that tipped me off about TJ's and cheese?) and also got the Welsh Cheddar at the same time ... the Welsh was lovely, but the Canadian was so strong that I couldn't eat it, I swear it must have been a bad batch cus I always had Canadian Cheddar in the UK and it was never that strong. |

We're so desperate living up in the sticks, we drive 3 hrs every few weeks to Trader Joes. It's a life saver :cool:

first time I had REAL cheese in 18months was YESTERDAY when work received a moving in present... a cheese n fruit plate for 120 people... hmmm.... pretty much ALL the cheese around here is made from rubber. |
Re: Cheese!
There are a lot of local shops around me that have some decent cheese. Can even get some Double Gloucester made a few miles away from where I used to live! But nowhere has a nice 7 year aged cheddar. It always makes me laugh how the American cheddars have "Aged 9 months!" on the packaging. Am I meant to swoon and buy the whole lot?

I haven't bought any yet though just in case it's that VERY strong variety. I wonder if anyone else here has bought it from there ?
Have you tried Canterbury's on Classen Blvd.? Last time I was there they had some pretty good Caerphilly cheese. |
Re: Cheese!
We buy Yancy's Fancy Extra Sharp New York State Cheddar Cheese.
It's just as good as some of the mature Cheddar's I bought back home. Don't know if it's sold nationally. It's delicious. Sue |
Re: Cheese!
Maybe you lot should try Tillamook Vintage White Extra Sharp. OK, so it's only aged two years, but it's strong enough that most Americans won't eat it.

Thanks for that tip, AP. I looked for that cheese on Google and it appears it is available at several stores in Okie land. We shall hunt some down. :) |
