[@Hitstirrer]

I was told by the MD of a major cheese distributor that the 'Cheddar' name comes from the process as well as the area. The cheese was made in large shallow trays and very early on in this area they discovered that if they sliced the maturing but still very soft cheese to create V-shaped wedges in the trays it affected the taste and constituency and aided it to mature quicker. Locally they joked that the V cuts resembled Cheddar gorge. And went on to call the process 'Cheddaring'. Others copied that process and called the result 'Cheddar'. And over time the local area of Cheddar has made claim to be the owners of that name. In reality, anyone making cheese using the 'Cheddaring' process, or V cutting the maturing product, will end up with 'Cheddar' cheese.

CHEDDAR CHEESE - WHAT MOST HAVE FORGOTTEN. Cheddar Cheese is a simple and ancient recipe from Cheddar, made by the peasants for the peasants as a cheap dairy product with a resistance to going mouldy, in the days before refrigeration. But its MAIN ability has always been that it's a COOKING cheese NOT an eating cheese in the normal sense !! So its admirably suitable for grilling on toast or even turning into a cheese sauce. As it will MELT as it is heated. As a sauce its often used to make "Macaroni Cheese" (an Italian pasta covered in cheese sauce). But many other cooking possibilities exist with this cheese. Further as the original "Cheddar Cheese company" is still producing this Cheese in Cheddar Gorge, and maturing the cheese in the famous Wookey Hole caves under the Gorge. All possible because the Gorge is part of the Mendip Hills, which are formed of Limestone (hence all the underground streams, caves & tunnels). Maturing in these underground caves gives "real" Cheddar Cheese a very slight Limestone odour, not found in the many "Cheddar" copies all over the World.

[@carolynjanesutton4932]

I've only just discovered this video, but a few of points that you seem to have missed with Cheddar cheese. Cheddar is not only the name of the town but actually a verb. Cheddaring is a process that cheese makers use to further acidify the curds and draw more whey out. This process is what allows Cheddar cheese to to last a long time. You can also buy red Cheddar, it's coloured with annatto - a natural food colouring. Perhaps Cheddar cheese that does not come from Cheddar should be more correctly called "Cheddared" cheese?

Having recently discovered your videos, which I like very much, I've decided to subscribe to follow your adventures. I must say that you're the most cheerful couple to watch and I like your positive attitude, good luck.

Cider is alcoholic. End of. You should have visited Mudgely nearby. You would not have walked out under your own steam.

I used to love Cracker Barrel. It's a strong orange in color mature cheese it used to come in a orange foil wrapper. Not seen or had it in ages.

Pork pies have a hot water crust pastry on the outside. Lard, flour and hot water.

Ploughman's lunch is a city invention after WWII to sell cheap cheese lunches.

Pork pie pastry is a hot water crust pastry, the jelly is poured in hot while it is still liquid through a hole in the top of the pie. Its function is to fill the void created when the pie cools. The meat contracts more than the pastry and if this was not filled with the jelly it could develop a mould very quickly shortening the shelf life of the pie.

If you're in America most of what you think is cheese would probably not even be considered a food in the rest of the world the FDA does not have the interest of the consumer at heart
