Again, in my area bevmo seems to be the goto place for such cheese research. Although I should probably check out Trader Joe's or a frighteningly overpriced market like Whole Foods are Mollie Stone to be sure. Ordinarily my wallet drags me forcibly away from such places.

Red Leicester is the best cheese for toasting IMO, and very underrated. Aged Gouda is a fancier alternative.

I'm very fond of Manchego and ewe's milk cheeses.

Red Leicester! Toasted, of course, but try it on a pizza. A little sprinkled just as it comes from the oven gives a nice extra bit of flavour.

ETA: Because Heaven is the place for cheesy humour...

My all-time favourite Cheddar is Barber's Cruncher. Fantastic flavour. I assume it got its name because it tends to develop little crunchy calcium deposits on the outside over time.

Lancashire toasted suits my taste buds better.

Each to her/his own.

Alternatives are good. A ewe's milk Swaledale can be substituted from Wensleydale as an interesting twist. Or Sage Derby melted on chicken.

And, if you look in the right places, you can find UK exports.

Actually, Tillamook makes some aged cheeses that are better than decent. Their Vintage Extra Sharp White Cheddar (aged 2-3 years), while not as complex and well-rounded as a true English Farmhouse Cheddar, is much better than most of the ersatz stuff that gets imported to the US under that name.

Here is someone pointing out that in some classic novels all problems are solved with cheese.

I'm not sure about that - I always think Sage Derby looks lovely on a cheese-board, but I imagine that if you melted it, it would look like a sneeze ... [Eek!]

I always wondered what kind of cheese it was that Grandfather toasted over on open fire and smeared on bread.

You can say that about a variety of cheeses, really...
