It's made in the caves of Cheddar Gorge and dates back a millennia to this exact spot. We also try some traditional British food (the ploughman's lunch) and explore with our friends Travel Beans

      Its always in the pork pies i get, but i mainly buy one from the butchers. Saying that, morrisons and icelands do a half decent pork pie wth jelly. Lidl suprisingly do a pack of pork pies with jelly and they are almost as good as any pork pie ive had from my local pork-specialist butchers. I think its mainly those supetmarket/petrol station pork pies that let the side down,and dont contain jelly (or pork or pie for that matter) they dont deserve the use of the name pork pie

      @@WAYAWAYWithAsh Hello, Short Crust Pastry is the normal Pie Pastry. Pork Pies are always made with Hot Crust Pastry. Personally I like mine with a little Mustard. Supermarkets will sell Sandwich Pickle which is the same but the pieces of Vegetables are diced smaller for better spreading. Do not get confused by the wording all the Cheese is made in a factory, It is then stored in a cave and turned regularly because of the year round even temperature. My favourite is Mature or Extra Mature. I think the Cheese is made under contract in America and has the extra colour added because we would never do that.

    Cheddar cheese was first made in 1172. I have tried 'other' Cheddar cheese from across the pond but even my American friend who smuggled it over preferred the real thing. Some of our supermarket strong types are OK. The one thing I was appaled at was U.S. chocolate. It was on par with a runny white of egg and tripe and onions cooked in milk.

      And France now spends more money on importing and consuming British cheese than they do their own. They literally cant get enough of it, despite buying up any surplus stocks the UK manufacturers have, they still cant get enough to fill the demand in France, and a lot of traditional French cheese manufacturers have started to make similar style cheeses to the British ones to keep up with this demand.

    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.

      You can buy just about every cheese possible in the UK, all sourced from their proper country of origin. Also, in recent years Britain has started to prroduce so much of their own specialist local cheeses, that they produce almost more volume and varieties than any other country! Also France now spends more on the British cheese's that they buy in, than they do on their own home produced cheese's, as in recent years the country as a whole has developed a liking and a taste for British cheese and associated dairy products.
