This thread has taught me a great deal.
I am a regular purchaser of the Mini Cheddar. Usually when they are on offer - a quid for 6 pack - straight in the trolley they go.
(My kids are the Pringles fans. Not me. There is something about the texture I'm not too keen on).
And like a previous poster I do like to sandwich the two mini cheddars with a chunk of real cheddar in between. That's a meal in itself. Trust me.
I was also introduced to the Red Leicester Mini Cheddar, by my aforementioned Pringle loving daughter and I fell in love with it. It has a singularly pungent cheesy tang that the regular Mini Cheddar lacks.
But on this thread there are several references to a 'Branston Pickle Mini Cheddar'. What is this? This is not something I even knew about.
So a googling I went and it seems there are also Stilton Mini Cheddars, and Applewood Smoked Mini Cheddars and someone even posted about a BBQ Mini Cheddar (I was convinced they were wrong and had got their MCs muddled up with their Ps) and they were right!
Thank you Mumsnet, thank you fellow posters, I am now going to seek out all these new and exciting flavours and if a thread such as this re-occurs I shall be far better informed.
