Cheese
 
This is probably old news but I thought I would share as I just found this out yesterday. Sam's Club carry some imported cheese, I bought a block of 'Dubliner' for just over $5 per pound. They also had some Stilton w/berries too.

The Dubliner went down a treat with some Branston Pickle.

Costco have it too, they also have Kerrygold Reserve Cheddar @ 5.79 a lb. The Dubliner is slightly sweeter thatn the Kerrygold. They are actually cheaper in Costco than they are in Ireland!

I like that bright orange stuff. You know, the a color that doesn't exist naturally on earth.


Just kidding.
I like a bit of goat cheese, myself.

I would like some karma please, and some PMs.

How about Haloumi?

I remember that being available in almost any supermarket in UK - now I can't see it anywhere (unless I want to shell out an arm and a leg on the t'internet)

Is that the same Irish Cheddar I get from Costco...I can't remember the name but it has a black plastic wrapper that's a bugger to get off? It's delish.

Stop & Shop here in Westchester NY also sells the Irish Butter along with the cheeses mentioned above.

Costco's own sharp sheddar isnt bad..and you got a humongous 2lb block for less than $5....

Meijer & DW carry quite a few English cheeses however they are EXPENSIVE, hubby and I like Apple Wood but it is something like $13 per pound! $5 for imported cheese is a good price.

Been trying to find it for nearly 5 years. I loved that I could have it on the bbq as I dont eat meat and it grills so well. even tried the Greek specialty shops no luck so far.

The Cheese Haus in Frankenmuth does some lovely cheese. Their 11 year old Chedder is great if your willing to pay $12.99 for 1/2 pound of it.

Someone once told me that the difference in Greek food is because in the US it's mainland Greece, whereas in the UK we get Greek Cypriot food.

I actually went to the library once and got a book on making cheese...and guess what...after much grinding of teeth, weeks of preperation and studying...eh voila...I found it to be way too much work, I returned the book and went to Costco and bought their cheese...:))

Cheese is ambrosia.

In fact, we're off for the holiday weekend to Carmel and one of the top reasons that we go there (as well as it being very dog friendly) is that they have a FABULOUS cheese shop. You go in and they offer you tastings of any of their hundreds of cheese. Keep tasting until you find what you like.
Not cheap but also has wine and picnic supplies and is a short stroll to the beach.

Mmmmm, i can taste it already.

Trader Joes have it for not to bad money.

That Irish butter, it's cheaper than the regular stuff there too which ain't bad.
