The message
from Bruce contains these words:

Cotherstone (or is it Cotherston, I can never remember) made in
Durham, is an interesting cheese, although it's not always easy to get.


Is that another blue? Can't say I have ever come across it.

White, reasonably firm, not crumbly. Made with unpasteurised milk on a
farm in, surprise, Cotherstone (with an "e"). If your local
cheese-monger has heard of it, keep supporting him/her, because they
know about cheese - but if they offer to get it for you, ask them if
they know how far it is to Barnard Castle... Alternatively, divert from
your usual route back from Lancashire and call at the Cheese Shop in
Northgate Street in Chester - they often have it in stock(and they drive
over to Cotherstone to get it).

One so advanced they've lost the need to make decent cheese, apparently.

No, as it happens. You just need to buy the Real Thing(TM), not
something invented in ASDATescoburys. I have some rather tasty Cheshire
Blue on my plate right now...

Is Cheshire Blue really "the Real Thing?"?

Without any AOC regulations such as those that apply to. for example,
Champagne wines and Melton Mowbray pork pies, no Cheshire cheese can
be truly said to be "the Real Thing?".

No, that means that no Cheshire cheese can be *officially* the Real Thing,
but that has nothing to do with whether it can be *truly* the Real Thing.
The distinction between laws and truth is one that seems to have been
consistently overlooked in this whole thread!

But surely blue was not one of the traditional cheeses associated with
the Cheshire "brand"?

It's certainly not what people associate with 'Cheshire cheese' today. Not
that i'm saying it's not good - Cheshire strikes me as a cheese which
would make a very good blue.

As for Cheddar, any cheese that can be made in locations as far away
from Cheddar Gorge as Canada and Israel cannot expect to be taken
seriously. ;-)

tediousOf course, 'cheddar' nowadays refers to the use of the cheddaring
process in manufacturing. It's perfectly correct to describe Canadian or
Zambian cheddar as cheddar if it's made the right way (although plenty of
people refer to cheese made the wrong way as cheddar, notably Americans).
This may or may not be a good thing for consumers and/or the people of
West Somerset, but that's the way it is. See also brie, which is no longer
restricted to the Brie region of the Ile de France, champagne, a name
which is applied to non-Champenoise wines by some people (notably
Americans again), and London Dry Gin.

Thanks!

I buy cheeses from cheesemongers in Oxford, Stilton, Biggleswade
(Bedfordshire) and on occasional trips to Lancaster, plus some mail
order. I doubt that the southerners would be willing to drive all
that way, but the one in Lancaster might, or possibly he already does.
I will call him tomorrow and see if he can get some for me. Failing
that I could make a detour on my trip back from Scotland.

I supply cheese (and coffee) to a couple of restaurateurs I know who
are always willing to try something new.

Milton Keynes is a lot nicer than people who don't know the place
claim it is. It is by far the most pleasant and most successful of
the postwar "New Towns", and is characterised by a combination of
excellent landscaping and some very good modern architecture.

My only significant criticism of the town (it is a city in all but
name) is that it was designed around the car, so public transport
provision could be better. I don't live in MK but would be happy to.

I'm not sure why it sounds "horrid" - it's based around a seriously
ancient village (Middleton) that was granted to the Cahaines family
after the Norman conquest (whose property included Horsted Keynes in
Sussex as well as well as Milto Keynes).

Since the late 1960s it became a large new town, with mainly pleasant
domestic suburban architecture, but with a dismal centre and (typical of
the period) a poorly thought-out emphasis on car travel that includes a
totally unnecessary number of roundabouts

:-) Los Angeles was actually built around a transit system, The
Pacific Electric and its poorer cousin, The LA Ry. The Freeways came
later. Uncontrolled expansion of the built up area has meant that the
road infrastructure, at the core, can never keep up.

And not just Americans - "Brie" made in Alsace is equally misleading.

Anyway, obviously the concept of "correct road capacity" depends
strongly on lifestyle, and when designing a new town, one has a lot of
leeway to influence that.

Given that MK was built in the '60s heyday of "cars are our future!"
attitudes, the phrase ends up sounding like a nice way of saying "a vast
sprawling wasteland of concrete"; kind of like an american
