Cheese is pretty popular in Britain -- and one of the few foodstuffs that the UK is known for producing (along, possibly, with certain types of beer, cider, whisky, gin, biscuits/cakes, various meats and fish -- have I missed anything?).

My favourite cheeses are:

- a nice piece of cheddar -- though I'm not quite sure what it is that makes a nice piece of cheddar (some types are awfully bland). It being real Cheddar from West Country of England (the vicinity of Cheddar, Somerset), and not just generic "cheddar", helps

- some really nice, moldy Stilton (the rottener the better)

- also nice are Emmental (Swiss), Brie (French) and Camembert (French), but as they're foreign they obviously aren't quite as good (obviously)

However, I haven't been especially adventurous with my cheese consumption and I'm sure there must be some great ones that I've missed out on tasting. Are there any cheese connoisseurs in the house who could recommend some?
