Not much call for cheddar around these parts
I prefer Vermont Sharp White.
New York Extra-Sharp in one of my faves.................
From Belloc’s “The Four Men”:
The Poet. “Besides this, what we need is
two large cottage loaves of new bread, and
butter, and some kind of cheese.”
Myself. “Poet, did you not tell me that
you were of this County and of this land?”
The Poet. “I did.”
Myself. “I think you lied. Who in
Sussex ever heard of ‘ some kind of cheese’ ?
You might as well talk in Hereford of
‘some kind of cider,’ or in Kent of ‘ some kind
of foreigner’ coming over by their boats from
the foreign lands. I think you must have been
out of Sussex, Poet, for many years of your
life, and at the wrong time. ”
The Poet. “Why, that is true. “
Myself. “And, undoubtedly, Poet, you
acquired in other counties a habit of eating
that Gorgonzola cheese, which is made of
soap in Connecticut ; and Stilton, which is
not made at Stilton ; and Camembert, and
other outlandish things. But in Sussex, let
me tell you, we have but one cheese, the
name of which is CHEESE. It is One; and
undivided, though divided into a thousand
fragments, and unchanging, though changing
in place and consumption. There is in Sussex
no Cheese but Cheese, and it is the same true
Cheese from the head of the Eastern Rother
to Harting Hill, and from the sea-beach to
that part of Surrey which we gat from the
Marches with sword and with bow. In
colour it is yellow, which is the right colour
of Cheese. It is neither young nor old. Its
taste is that of Cheese, and nothing more. A
man may live upon it all the days of his
life.”
I recommend the dark film “The Menu” Really
enjoyed it, and the fictional world class chef main character affirms that nothing is superior to American cheese in a cheeseburger

I just watched that movie about a week ago. Strange one.
Agreed.
"It's like you're dreaming about gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly brie time, baby!"
contest held in Switzerland, judged by Swiss people - was the outcome ever in doubt?
Next year in Spain...................
This was confirmed near the end of the movie “the hunt”. The grilled cheeses scene.
True, but loved how he handled the pretentious foodie suck up dork.
I’m not gonna argue.
Just bought a small 6oz block of cheese at our local Grocery Outlet store. Meister Cheese Co. Wisconsin. Jack cheese with bits of wild morel mushrooms and leeks in it. REALLY good, even Mikey the wife like it. “She doesn’t like anything”
</sarc>
Step into my office!!
Cheeses are so different, it would impossible to come up with a single best.
Isn’t that kind of like saying the bloodhound is declared the world’s best dog at Westminster?
