CHEDDAR!!! The unique taste of cheddar is created by maturing the cheese in the extensive network of caves adjacent to the village of Cheddar.
Cheddar Gorge is breathtaking.

You can't beat a nice aged Gouda from the Netherlands. Then again, I am a sucker for strong Irish Cheddar.

I like the packaging. How on earth can you get Irish Cheddar? Surely its not Cheddar if it doesn't originate in Cheddar.
I call for a law prohibiting any cheese not made exclusively in Cheddar to be banned from using the name Cheddar. Much like the law which prevents any sparking wine not produced in the Champagne region of France from using the name Champagne.

Non-Champagne champagne is "sparkling wine." What shall we call not-Cheddar cheddar? I love goat cheese, and voted for that, though I only have it very occasionally. Mostly I eat cheddar (not the real kind, the Wisconsin or Vermont kind) because it's cheap but is actually, unlike American, real cheese.

I like some cheese that my parents always get called Flagship Cheese, but that's all I really know about it, the name.

I love Havarti and cheddar. I'm more a fan of mellow tastes, though, and English cheeses usually suit me fine.

I like Cheddar the best (at least as a cheese on its own). Of course not all cheddar. I like mild to medium sharpness, color doesn't matter, and its great plain but smoked cheddar is amazing too.

I don't like eating cheese by itself, but I'd say my favorite is mozzarella.

Thats quite a difficult one, and a question that I don't have an answer for. Perhaps I should leave that up to the cheese producers once this plan is put into action..?

Red Leicester - more consistant than cheddar - melts beautifully on toast, makes excellent rarebit and finishes a cottage pie perfectly.
White Stilton - 'the Queen of Cheeses' - if you've never tried this - do so - it's great.
Caerphilly - next best thing to White Stilton - but don't buy the supermarket stuff - it's foul - it has to be eaten fresh from the cheesery (blessed are the cheese makers)
La Brie - finest soft cheese known to man, just don't keep it too long or it starts to sing.
Camembert - instant fondue, just pop it whole into the microwave - which of course everyone knows is Camembert Electrique 
Parmigiano-Reggiano - buy this by the kilo in Itally when on holiday, empty out all the unimportant things from your suitcase to make room if you can (things like camera's, clothes, wife's makeup, kids medication, etc.). Shaved parmesan over roasted onions sprinkled with virgin olive oil & balsamic vinegar - heavenly.
The only forms of American Cheese I know are polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polymethyl methacrylate - but these do come in the full range of pantone colours
Except Monterey Jack, which is great for burgers and chill dogs.

Im a cheese lover, I cant just pick one... some days a good cheddar can make a great sandwich, others parmesano can complement the best of Ceasar salads and of course there´s the good old mozzarella...
