Subject: RE: What Good Is Mudcat?
We're working on it. Yeah, you bollocked me once for incorrectly locatiing Wookey Hole Cave-aged. I still think it's the finest of all Cheddars. But, and I hate to say it, there's a factory cheese that is almost (not quite, though) up there with it. It's Cathedral City Extra Mature. Not Vintage, not light, not ordinary mature. I was amazed and disgusted that I could like a factory cheese that much. I generally take against Cathedral City because they make it in Davidstow, just up from us, in a factory that looks like a nuclear reactor. The roads round here can be jammed up with huge great articulated milk tankers with Cathedral City emblazoned on the side. None of your local, carefully-selected high-welfare farms for them! They used a photo of Bedruthan Steps beach to make us think that they make their cheese by the romantic shores of the wild Atlantic. Bollocks. The ugly factory is miles inland and nowhere near Bedruthan Steps, and is surrounded by a scene of dereliction and a disused airfield!
