Cheddar isn’t orange. You might be thinking of Red Leicester in the UK.
Having lived in the US, the cheddar there isn’t the same. I’d offer that I never had good cheese in the US outside of imported stuff.
- bookofjoe 3y agoI stumbled onto Red Leicester recently and was gobsmacked by how good it is.
- ompogUe 3y agoMe too! It was at it's "best before" date, with 50% off the price, so, why not? Wow!
- deadlydose 3y agoSounds like you didn't get out much. Sometimes I wonder if it's a joke that I haven't been let in on, or just willful ignorance. I hear it not just with cheese, but also bread, beer, chocolate, etc. High quality versions of every single one of those can be found with _minimal_ effort. You have to deliberately choose not to notice all the breweries, bakeries, dairies, and chocolatiers. "You can't get good ____ in the US!" Which might be true if you only ever shop at a supermarket or your only exposure to food in the US is a meme, Hollywood production, or the crappy nonsensical 'American' aisles you have in your respective countries.
- OnlyMortal 3y agoI lived in Delray Beach in Florida. The only choices at the time (2001) were Publix, which was poor, and Crown Liquor, which was where I bought bread. Wholefoods wasn’t good. As a beer drinker, Heineken was the only beer I’d buy (note I lived in NL) though there was a microbrewery by the Boca mall that was ok. I also lived in BE so I’ve experience with chocolate. I am English though. At the time, Godiva was considered good in the US.
- Turing_Machine 3y agoRed Leicester is also artificially colored. > Having lived in the US, the cheddar there isn’t the same. Which "cheddar"? The budget Kraft stuff? Higher-end stuff like Tillamook? Artisanal cheddars, of which there are many?
