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?

I asked at my local deli for their strongest/tastiest cheddar and after turning my nose up at several, the bloke behind the counter said furtively "...would you like to try this one, we don't display it..." and proceeded to get out what was known as the Under The Counter Cheddar. It absolutely honked.
It was lovely, even if you had to keep it in several layers of paper, and then in a sealed tupperware box. It was a particularly good diet cheese as you needed very little to get a lot of taste. Sadly it is no more, and other places look at me funny if I ask if they have any special cheddar...

Mild chedder is a waste, a WASTE of milk. Rubbery nothingness.

gordyslovesheep I completely agree. Fruit integral to the cheese is WRONG on all levels. Fruit AND cheese, not Fruit IN cheese. Wrong and sick and wrong again. Bad Bleughh.

Three months before xmas I gave up cheese, (and everything else) and lost a stone and a half. Had an amazing cheese board over christmas but have discovered that the persistant heartburn i've had for years is linked to cheese as I didn't get it when I wasn't eating it. Looks like my skin suffers too, so apart from special occaisions I'm giving it up again.

Cheese Hound goes Cold Turkey and is very sad about it.

I love mild cheddar, can't understand the point of strong - tis revolting. Prefer Red Leicester though.

I love melted cheese (I have been known to bung some cheese on a plate and whack it in the microwave while nobody is looking) and mild is much better for this. It also seems to melt at a lower temperature so is generally softer.

I like all cheese though. Not mad on cheddar as a rule though, unless melted or with some fabulous chutney or something. Give me a baked camembert any day of the week.

Baked camembert...

I have mild cheese. I detest the flavour of mature as it is far too strong. It also has to be White

YABU.
I don't like strong cheese ( although it's fine when it's melted).

I like mild cheese - it tastes of cheese .

YANBU mild cheese is satan's earwax.

What's with the fruit-in-cheese hating??? Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without a nice block of stilton crammed with apricots!

In fact I've got some wensleydale with plum pudding fruits in my fridge right now! Yum.

What I did once see in Asda was toffee flavoured cheese. Now that is wrong wrong WRONG!

Not just cheap... free!
