Crumbly Lancashire cheese is indistinguishable from the Turkish "bag cheese" (tulum peyniri) used to make pide (baked split baguettes). The Turkish comes in a calfskin bag with the hair still on. The word "tulum" also means "bagpipe". Ethnically one group Turkey and Lancashire have in common is the Alans, an Iranian people from South Ossetia and nearby. The Romans used them to garrison Lancashire and they had to pass through Anatolia on the way. The Caucasus is nearly the world's epicentre for cheese so maybe Lancashire/tulum cheese is an Alan thing?
