Go for it, not for me, don't like truffle
Bloody fussy you are. You do know Cheddar is a bit boring on it's own ! Wensleydale and Cranbury is a winner !
Recommend me a mature cheddar

Bleurgh Wensleydale...crumbly ...horrid.
I just want a plain cheddar, I'll add my own extras as required (but not pickle or chutney yuk)
No idea what a Cranbury is though

I'd just get Waitrose Medium bargain bucket 'essentials' cheese then ! 
Sort of run of the mill cheese with a tiny bit of taste - it will be fine.

That'll all I really need, I might go extra mature though
It was more to see if any of the supermarkets had anything better than any other. Tesco used to be decent but they've done something to it and now it's more crumbly 
I prefer a more rubbery texture

Just as no Londoner is more than 6 yards from a rat, no west Londoner is more than 20 minutes drive from a cheesemonger / artisan deli that will let you taste their wares.
I suspect this is an @Accy cyclist style Friday pm thread to amuse the recuperating young @vickster until Countdown comes on....

Unfortunately nothing within 20 mins of here that’s easily accessible. Not in posh West London me
I’m bored with work rather than waiting for Countdown (I watched some Tipping Point over lunch though
)but I really have run out of cheddar (I have only paneer, port salut and some elderly Parmesan in the fridge)

As a close second I do like a mature cheddar though.

It’s like a crumbly soap that barely tastes of anything, meh

I'd say Cathedral City would give most 'standard' cheeses a run - consistently good and you've got medium, mature and extra mature - extra mature isn't too strong, - just used up a block and a half for my lasagne !
Definitely look for a re-sealable packet though, stops it drying out.

It’s not a Cheddar, nor is it likely to be available (maybe in more exclusive shops) but the Swedish Västerbotten cheese is a delight for any cheese lover. It’s very mature with a lovely taste.

Every time I buy cheese from Aldi it’s already off (they’re rubbish at monitoring dates) or goes off really quickly!
A decent 300g+ lump is fine, I just don’t want a massive hunk (well maybe I do but not of cheese
Im here... That's so cheesy!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, or at least they sell it in IKEAs throughout Scandinavia.
