UK hands down.
Cheese is the one food Brits do really well
(+ xmas pudding)

RustyBear · 30/10/2008 16:14

Oh, sorry lizzielou, missed that - I'm a crumbly fan myself.

SpookyButNice · 30/10/2008 16:16

Wensleydale on toast with marmite - possibly the best comfort food there is.

Definitely England for me - after 3 years in the US I've had enough bad cheese experiences to last me a lifetime!

Lizzylou · 30/10/2008 16:20

Are you in the NW, Rusty?
I'd never had Lancashire cheese before meeting DH, now we live up here. My family love coming up and having "crumbly cheese".
Dirt cheap as well

I'm going to be a lone voice, I would choose Ireland. I also love cottage cheese, so I may be a little weird.

RustyBear · 30/10/2008 16:30

No, I live in the south east, but my MIL is from Cheadle Hulme & one of the few good things she ever did was to introduce me to Lancashire cheese

Lizzylou · 30/10/2008 16:32

Ooh, Cheadle Hulme, sweetie!

Isn't that Cheshire?

Anna8888 · 30/10/2008 16:34

Italy, without a doubt.

I hate most cheese but cannot contemplate life without Parmesan and mozzarella...

RustyBear · 30/10/2008 16:40

Probably - I'm a southerner I tell you!
The family originally came from a place called Irlam somewhere near Manchester - they moved to Cheadle when they 'went up in the world' to quote MIL.....

Habbibu · 30/10/2008 16:41

Oh, Anna - you live in France and hate cheese? That's a shame!

purplemonkeydishwasher · 30/10/2008 16:41

i want cheese now. lots of cheese.

Lizzylou · 30/10/2008 16:42

IL's are from Irlam, they moved to Lancashire. (Hence why I live in the rainsoaked Northwest, but am surrounded by good cheese!)

Cheadle Hulme is in Cheshire, tis a bit posh, I think, least likes to think it is

Kathyis6incheshigh · 30/10/2008 16:45

I was talking to a bunch of overseas students a few months ago about what they were going to miss most when they go home and they all chorused 'The cheese!'

They didn't just mean British cheese of course but the fact that you can get the French and Italian stuff here so easily.

Funny, I'd never thought 'Come to Britain and eat cheese!' before.

RustyBear · 30/10/2008 16:46

So is Irlam not Lancashire then? DH's grandma always used to describe herself as 'a Lancashire lass' so I assumed it was.

Simplysally · 30/10/2008 16:47

I vote for English cheese.... Wedsleydale, Cheddar, Lancs, Cheshire. Although I love Parmesan as well.

I do like a spot of Caerphilly as well if I could smuggle some over the Welsh border .

snigger · 30/10/2008 16:50

Italy - mountain gorgonzola, num.

Lizzylou · 30/10/2008 17:17

Rusty, think it was, but it is Manchester these days.

Cadbury · 30/10/2008 17:20

uk definitely

I had to go and ask dh - thankfully, he said UK as well or I'd have had to start divorce procedings.

JuxBackFromTheDead · 30/10/2008 17:40

France makes my favourite cheese in the whole world.

fangdom · 30/10/2008 17:44

Uk
mature chedder ... and best of all stilton

drunkerhunker · 30/10/2008 17:46

Italian...couldn't live without parmesan.

drunkerhunker · 30/10/2008 17:48

Whoops...am still appreciating hunker.

cocoleBOO · 30/10/2008 17:49

USA - my favourite cheese is Philadelpia.

mrsmaidamess · 30/10/2008 17:58

Kathyis6incheshigh · 30/10/2008 18:04
