Sup /ck/, my mom bought a brick of this stuff (English coastal cheddar) but she tasted it and hated it and asked me if I can cook anything with it. I've never had this stuff before, so I have no clue what to do with it. What can I make with this stuff? What is it good on/goes well with? Recipes are appreciated.
It's fucking cheese, dude. Put in almost anything and fatties will drool.
Try cornbread with fennel, coriander, sea salt, and that gross ass cheese grated into it.
>English coastal cheddar
as an English person, what?
Microwave it with some rotel for an easy party dip!
it goes good with being inferior to america

I'd just make a cheese and meat plate for myself desu.
>>7423818
Eh? Whittle thin slices on top of burgers, in sandwiches, on omelets. Dice into salads.Grate and mix with bread crumbs for coating chicken, pork, fish or veal. Combine with other cheeses for cheese soup. Crumble or grate as part of croquettes. Top toast, broil, and dump into a soup as floater. Make quiche, make mac & cheese, make cheddar cookies. Eat with cured ham, jerky, biscuits and wine and strong beer on its own.
Shit's delicious and versatile.
Shove it up your moms arse and eat it from there.
Like, take a fucking hint.
>>7423832
It looks like a really boring mild cheddar with a 300% markup because it's from another country. Nothing new.
>>7423818
It's cheese, you can make literally any cheese dish with it, don't be purposefully retarded. Pizza, Lasagne, Pasta, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Kiev, Pork dishes, Egg dishes, Bread dishes, salads, dressings, etc
Fucking Americans.
>>7423818
>English coastal cheddar
I'm from bongland and have never heard of that
I assume from my experiences with North American cheese that it's just a mild as fuck cheddar that your mother paid too much for because it's white and imported
So just try a piece then use it in place of any hard cheese
It's perfect for macaroni cheese
http://www.fordfarm.com/default.aspx?p=cheesecoastal
That's pretty damn expensive cheese, so I wouldn't waste it on something where the cheese is just in the background.
>>7425688
$8/lb is expensive?
OP slice it thin and eat it alongside bean dishes, chili, etc.
>>7425658
This. Cheddar has never been associated with the coast. Ever. Cheddar itself is near the sea, but they focus on the plains and the valley the town lies in, not the sea. I've never heard of a 'Coastal Cheddar' in my life.
>>7425688
>Dorset
>Calcium crystals
What the fuck am I reading here? Right off the bat, it's the wrong county: proper cheddar's from Somerset, because that's where Cheddar is.
Anyway, do what you want with it. Why not try a ploughman's lunch; have it with some salad, crusty bread, some pickles, boiled egg or two and cured meat. And after that, why don't you get your mother a nice Oxford Blue or something to make up for that?
>>7425694
Really you'd be better off having some harder, stronger cheeses with a ploughman's. Something like a Red Leicester, Stilton and something else besides the Cheddar.
You could also have cheese on toast with some lea and perrins. That's all that cheese looks suitable for to be honest.
>>7425699
OP is American you idiot, how is he going to find red leicester? It's probably hard to find stilton there too.
>>7425703
I don't know what cheeses they sell over there, now do I? There might be a small shop that specialises in cheese or something.
>>7425736
So you think Red Leicester is popular enough to be exported to America? Even in England nobody ever buys it. It's just a gimmicky cheddar.
>>7425738
How does domestic UK popularity reflect on export markets?
You're not entirely wrong though about the Red Leicester. Probably best to go for a Double Gloucester.
>>7425738
I buy it a lot and its always on cheese boards when I eat out. It's a nice cheese, usually a bit harder and mature than most cheddars you get.
>>7425738
>Even in England nobody ever buys it
do you have a single fact to back that up?
I buy it whenever I'm having a selection of cheeses
>>7425699
wow...this cheese plate looks so boring...
>>7425748
I just googled "Red Leicester" and grabbed the first cheese board I could see.
>>7425752
OK, but where are the soft cheese? the goat cheese? the sheep cheese? the hard cheese in herbs? the red mold cheese? the white mold cheese? etc...
is this a typical English cheese plate?
I just remembered the first "Wallace and gromit" episode where they fly to the moon ...
>>7425756
Are you fucking retarded?
>>7425767
My mum says I'm special.
>>7425694
>Calcium crystals
>What the fuck am I reading here?
Any good aged cheddar should have formed calcium lactate crystals, framboise
>>7425703
Pro-tip: it's pronounced:
>Redd-Lie-chester
>>7425699
I'm sure it would be nice in a cauliflower cheese.
>>7425703
How was he supposed to know what they sell in yankland? He offered suggestions like the OP asked for and you're just acting like a cunt for no reason.
If they can get cheddar then surely they can get something in the same sort of range.
>>7425748
>looks
>boring
And the award for pretentious twat of the day goes to...I don't believe it, you won anon.
>>7425756
Here, pick and choose your cheeses.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_cheeses
Plenty of them there.
>>7425699
I like Red Leicester, (East Midlands represent!) but calling it strong compared to a good Cheddar? Come on now.
>>7425756
And now we see that you were just being a pretentious twat as a way to shitpost about England, so predictable.
Are people this moronic typical of your country?
>>7425811
yes. i am French.. we always shipost about our old ennemy England (like they do with us) an yes, French cheese is way superior to English cheese ( Americans cheese is it relevant)
>>7425829
>French cheese is way superior to English cheese
Only for soft cheeses. The French can't make a decent hard cheese if their surrender depended on it.
>>7425836
Have you actually tried some British soft cheeses? They're actually very nice. It's just hard getting ahold of them because they tend to be regional.
>>7425829
Oh old friend, your English is very bad. The correct way to type that sentence would be:
"French cheese is inferior to English cheese"
I'm glad I could help.
>>7425848
>Have you actually tried some British soft cheeses?
Oh absolutely, and some are very nice, but I have to concede that the French, on the whole, generally do soft cheese better.
>>7425836
ever tried
Comté? Beaufort? Cantal? ... don't think so
>>7425855
>Comté?
Yup
>Beaufort?
Once
>Cantal?
I admit I have not.
>don't think so
Ah yes, because if I don't immediately agree with you, I mustn't know what I'm talking about.
I'm amazed you didn't go straight for Mimolette. That's the usual French "No but honest we have hard cheeses too!" meme.
>>7425849
I know my English is bad.. but not that bad that I am confused about "inferior" and "superior"... what remembered me that the English language use a lot of french/latin words...
CHEEESE WARRRR!!!
>>7425858
mimolette is industrial cheese.. I only speak about cheese with A.O.C/D.O.C ... I just read that England had 14 cheeses with D.O.C... I am impressed
>>7425860
"I remembered that the English language uses a lot of French.Latin words" is a better way of saying that. Don't worry I wouldn't make fun of you for trying to learn our language, I have enough material to mock with your terrible taste in cheese, my French friend.
>>7425874
if i appreciate something in our "old friends" from England is their sence of humour... Monty python is the best thing ever came from there...
sadly the British gastronomy has not that level of quality...
>>7425891
Yes, we should take cue from the French whose cuisine revolves around turning over rocks and cooking what they find.
On a related note, what is the name of that French comedy set during the 100 years war? I saw a clip of it once and it seemed alright.
>>7425896
i heard about it too... sadly i quit France over 25 years ago.. I can't stand my arrogant French compatriots...
>>7425897
Oh but your arrogance is why we love you. You're the perfect enemy.
>>7425905
better a good enemmy that you know about that a bad friend who conspired behind your back
Rather than just read the label like idiots you could ask the OP if this cheese flakes or crumbles easily when cut. Or to describe the taste as it might give us some idea of what the actual quality of the cheese is.
>>7425896
Alizee exists, thus France can do no wrong. Sorry m8, but you're now out of an argument.
>>7425658
>>7423832
>>7425694
It is an english cheese from a big exporter of english cheese, Ford Farms. The cheese is notable because of it's sweet flavor which stands out from other English cheddars I have had. Also, cheddar is not only made in the vicinity of cheddar, please stop being obnoxious British people who don't even know what you are talking about. Calcium crystals are common in aged cheddar, and finally, Red Dorset is a smoked cheddar. http://www.fordfarm.com/default.aspx?p=cheesecoastal
Also I would like to point out some things
>Stilton is overrated
>Double Gloucester is overrated
>Red Leicester is overrated
>England produces a lot of pasteurized cheese, just like the US, so does France, or Spain, or literally anywhere else
>>7427190
One day soon we shall war with France again and on that day I will get a war bride just like her.
>>7427419
If you're a balding manlet you could have her right now
>>7427431
what happened to the skin on her back?
>>7427439
That appears to be a flesh-colored strap for her dress

holy shit hhnnggg

she was 16. when she startend with "moi Lolita.."
>>7427403
Your whole post is just complete pants, why did you bother typing it?
>>7425651
exactly my point
"coastal cheddar" topkek
>>7427403
I'm sorry for making you spill your spaghetti everywhere you dumb amerilard.
I wasn't even implying anything about whether it was actually from cheddar or not, cheddar is our most popular cheese and is the most highly available. it was probably the same mashed produced shit you can get at every supermarket here with a name to attract fedora tippers like yourself.
>>7428666
>complete pants
also check em
>>7427431
O shit that ass shot
>>7428854
Nice try, but we know what kind of palid, pale, boring ass food you actually eat on a daily basis. I'm quite sure that more than half of the population of England can't find their own assholes, much less know what THEIR OWN COUNTRY'S good cheeses are.
Op, English man here, can you open the packet and show us a slice, is it crumbly?
>>7423832
It's cheddar that washed up on the English coast. They dust it off, shrink wrap it, and sell it to yuppies who will pay exorbitant prices for 'exotic' cheeses. It's more authentic if it's shrink wrapped in a block, you know.
>>7423835
You assume it can melt.
>>7432866
Not him, but there is cheese that can't melt?
>>7431585
I'm actually half Jamaican and live in a city known for its great food culture.
but I get it, you're incredibly euphoric, etc.
>>7427403
Cheddar should come from the cheddar valley, however it has become a larger style. There is unfortunately no geographic protection on it.
Stilton is great, red Leicester is fine if mild and pasteurisation doesn't mean a cheese is bad or good
Relax man it wasn't an attack on you, just to stress coastal with regards to cheddar is alien
Plus I'm right aren't I? It's a mild cheddar that you should taste and see but no doubt overpaid for
Look at me, everybody, I'm contributing.
