Best avoid Somerfield's Cheddar Mexicano - an ill-judged food idea on the same level as Ginsters attempt at appeasing vegetarians with their unpopular Pasti Italiano (apparently pasti is italian for pasty, although they might have just made it up to sound clever)

From what I can remember it was a tomato and herb pasta (the tiny shell one) inside a puff pastry slice. Pretty shit really, don't know if the guy who created that little gem's still working. Not going to look good on the cv I imagine.

The best thing to recommend Ginsters is that being the staple diet of the travelling sales manager, it does assist them in not reaching a ripe old age, so all good really.

Its all about Tescos Chilli Chedder.

Although brie, camenbert, edam and mozzerella rock particularly hard too.

Just don't watch the parmesan. EEEEUUUUWWWWW.

Spanish Queso Cabrales is necessary to try if you like blues at all. It hurts to eat, that's all you need to know, heh.

Point Reyes Blue from good ol' Cali is also superb - totally different than the Cabrales, its' the creamiest blue I know of.

its rather unsophisticated in relation to the ones previously mentioned, but i am really partial to good old Vermont Extra Sharp white cheddar with a slice of homemade apple pie.

im talking the kind of sharp that cuts the tongue. yummm
