Extreme Chedder!

I bought this cheese in Superquinn earlier called Extreme Chedder. It comes from Mitchelstown Cork and it is wrapped in black plastic with a big red X on the front with the words 'For Adults Only' blazing across it. Naturally I said 'nah nah ni nah nah' to the nearest kid and then plonked it into my basket.
I have just had a chunk of it in the kitchen with a glass of Astrolabe and it is VELLY delicious. Chedder can be as dull as dishwater sometimes but this has real bite to it.
Try it, buy it, put it on toast with brown sauce or with garlic salami, grate it over pasta or onto a baked potato or just eat it on its own, it's yummy!

Sounds fantastic - though I haven't met a cheese yet that wasn't.

We've been eating this champagne cheddar lately. Amazing on a wheat cracker, and grated as the 'extra mystery cheese' in a macaroni & cheese bake.

It POPS!

Popping cheddar indeed.

I do like a bit of Gorgonzola...

I was trying to make a pun about champagne corks, but I guess it was too obtuse.

Champagne Cheddar - I don't know how else to describe the flavor. It's light, crisp, has a bubbly, tickle-your-nose finish, just like champagne. It's WEIRD.

Not sure where in your part of the world you can get it. It's available over here in our most ridiculously plebian grocery stores.

I should mention that commenting here earlier led me actually to MAKE macaroni & cheese for dinner.

I am so happy.

Also, just almost singlehandedly polished off a magnum of a huge bottle of plonk, so there you have it.

Andraste you young fool.
Do you realise that I have been round three delis and an Italian Warehouse asking for this 'popping' cheddar?
No wonder they looked at me funny.

I think it's Roy Keane. He makes all the cheese in Ireland you know.

Ah, that clears it all up for me. Football and cheese, the link is obvious.

I thought Stephen Roche made all the cheese in Ireland. At least he used to.

Cycling and cheese makes a lot more sense.

Ugh! Cheese and brown sauce! Almost as disgusting as the time I ate a bowl of Coco Pops smothered in Magners instead of milk.

I've had a variant called Rat Trap Cheddar. It's so tongue-shriveling I think it's aged in the shoes of the cheese factory workers. Vile to smell, but angelically tasty!

mmmmmmmm Nanuk, sounds delish. I like this cheese from Wexford too, a camembert so strong my eyes water as I unwrap it. Stinks but golly, it's heavenly!
VOT I"m going to ignore what you said as the ramblings of a lunatic. Toast, butter, lashing of brown sauce (HP) thich strips of chedder and white pepper. If that doesn't tickle the fanny clean of you I don't what could.

I like my cheese like I like my men, aged and erm stinky? That doesn't really work does it.

Aged and runny?, Nope, aged and...robust! Yes that's probably the one.

Does anyone know where to get that eXtreme Cheddar in the U.S.? (more specifically, Atlanta, GA?) I had it Ireland, & it was the best, most flavorful cheddar ever! but I can't find it in the States.

Instead of sending your scanned invitation, it would be great if you
create your own wedding website and invite your friends
and relatives. So even though it's been annoying at times that I've had to
do most of the planning of this wedding myself, it's been good for the same person to have an understanding of everything that's going on.

I am full of confidence that the majority was concerned with this question.

They even offer a $10 discount sometimes, which is a hefty sum, from the regular price, via coupon
codes. When you buy Twitter followers, the package specifies whether following others is included or not.

Those that are not familiar with the area will treasure this information above all else, and it will help them enjoy your wedding more thoroughly.
Fortunately, our minister has neither, and he's asked very little of us as well. With the advantages that technology is affording for us now planning that special day is a lot easier and simpler.

By dividing up the party at several peoples houses you make it easy on yourself.

I won't spoil your surprises and give away any more details. Now, one of my co-workers was applying to the Secret Service and I knew that I was down as a reference for her.

Admiring the time and effort you put into your site and in depth information you present.
It's nice to come across a blog every once in a while that isn't the same
out of date rehashed material. Excellent read! I've saved your site and I'm adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.
