Kittie - The battersea link is creepy isn't it? which is why I want to go in there so much...I would love to see a Glasgow, Brighton or a Far East version! (still jealous!)

But tasty cheese is just so expensive I don't go there often. Because it has to be shipped so far (the regulations aren't against selling it, just against making it, I think), that definitely adds to the price. Cheddar is everywhere. On sandwiches, as snacks, I'd say that cheddar, swiss, and american cheese are the go-to cheeses for sandwiches in this country.

I had no idea the Americans were so big on Cheddar and I definitely didn't know that there was a Dairy State! I know you can buy stinky cheeses online but I don't know about the cost? I guess they have to travel so much.. p.s. I've been working in psychology for a fair few years now and I think you could be right about the last part ;) Oh I see!

Especially cheddar, we're big on cheddar. Especially in Vermont and Wisconsin (the Dairy State). And there are plenty of farmer's markets that sell yummy mozzarella. It's just the stinky yummy cheeses (like brie, camembert, all those soft ones) that we don't have (or we do, they just taste like melty plastic). I won't even go into American cheese. That stuff just isn't natural, I tell you. I think they just tell us it's cheese as a psychology experiment to figure out how much BS we'll buy.

I would love to see a cheese post if you can find the energy one day. I think the more people that start demanding decent cheese the better. I can understand people not eating unpasteurised cheese if they are pregnant or have compromised immunity or something but it is just ridiculous to consider it a health hazard in general. Maybe there just isn't anyone who wants to make cheese out there? Perhaps as there isn't any history of cheesemaking? Oh dear, that is indeed a tragedy!

Regardless of the fact that the French (and Europeans) have been eating this kind of cheese for years and years without any dire effects. But apparently if Americans eat non-pasteurized cheese it will be a big health problem. I could do some research to give a more precise answer (and in fact, maybe I should do a cheese post some day on my blog...), but don't have the wherewithall today :) Alls I know is that I LOVED all the cheese when I lived in France. You can sometimes find tasty cheese here, but have to pay about $10-$20 for a small wheel of it.
