To not understand the point of 'Mild Cheddar'

[SnotandBothered]

Or medium for that matter.

What is it for? Why would you buy it? It tastes of rubber. Even DCs 5 and 3 who are definitely not food snobs, far prefer Extra Mature crumbly cheddar.

And don't say for cooking because then the recipe tast bland. So what is the point?

YANBU. Yuk.

i loved it as a child, hated strong tastes, like mature(ish) cheese now

it's just people's tastes innit

I like it :)

I like all sorts of cheese but I do not like mature cheddar due to the horrid gritty bits - mild cheddar has none of that nonsense

yep, its rubber yanbu

i like cheese singles and i like babybel (but only with prawn cocktail flavour crisps)

mild cheese lover here.

I detest strong smells and flavours and tend to leave the room if a cheese board comes out! Medium/mild Cheddar/Double Gloucester all the way for me!

I don't understand it either. It tastes of nothing, and is like eating creamy rubber

oh yes low fat none melty cheese is just wrong on every level

YANBU.

Cheese should be strong enough to briefly make your tastebuds cramp and I love the salty little gritty bits!

Thing is, medium cheddar still tastes very cheesey to me. Mature cheddar would tang my face off!

it tastes like cheese to some of us

yanbu.

I bought the DC's one of the packs of sticks of kids cheddar as a snack when we were in town. They both went 'yuck'. If I had given them proper mature cheese they would have scoffed it in seconds.

My DDS like mild cheddar! Not all DC are hardened foodies yer know! Mine even go "YUK" at olives.

FANTASTIC THREAD!!

Cameltoe if you love the shock to the tastebuds and the cruchy salty bits you need to try <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.collierscheese.com/images/image/Colliersonslate2.jpg&imgrefurl=www.collierscheese.com/News/Colliers-Powerful-Welsh-Cheddar-Takes-Gold-At-International-Cheese-Awards/&usg=__pjjVcyX8PpNFsaSAbvqzEm4TXeI=&h=356&w=509&sz=58&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=0ZhuAAuzelDPeM:&tbnh=139&tbnw=185&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcolliers%2Bmature%2Bcheddar%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG%26biw%3D1276%26bih%3D587%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=316&vpy=81&dur=920&hovh=188&hovw=269&tx=193&ty=127&ei=lzQmTcHVHMPChAfKlIm5Dg&oei=lzQmTcHVHMPChAfKlIm5Dg&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this yummy stuff

lol... I think it is bland and pointless.. but husband hates strong cheeses, smelly cheeses, runny cheeses.. in fact anything apart from mild cheddar, edam, and babybel.. ))wimp((

YANBU - it's pointless. Actually I think it's cheese for people who don't like cheese!

ew runny cheese

thenightsky that link has made me want to get out the cheese and nibble!

I can hadle stilton the like - strong but no gritty

Grit has no place in cheese imho - along with FRUIT - what is with the whole cheese with added cherries and marmalade crap - fruit next to cheese - fine - in it - no no no

YANBU - strong cheese rules. My DCs have voted with their taste buds since babyhood and will now not eat anything rated less than a strength 5. DD1 even likes blue cheese and some seriously stinky French ones...

I also hate fruit in cheese. A bit of herbage - fine! But no fruit please!
