Cheddar - Cathedral City or Pilgrims Choice?

[Van Hellseek]

They're both half price at Tesco atm (350g). At least at my local Tesco - Though I assume it's a nationwide thing.

I went for Cathedral City, since it was 20p cheaper But I've never had Pilgrims Choice.

Which would be your preference?

 

[robfosters]

Cathedral City for me.

 

[Azza]

I've always found Pilgrims Choice to be stronger than Cathedral City, so if you were not after something that was strong then out of the two I would say Cathedral City,

 

[Danthus]

Cathedral City is mass produced rubbish in my opinion.

I like Cheddar from the Lake District Cheese company or from Wookey Hole.

Ummm, which melts better and doesn't crumble when you slice? Whichever of those matches that description then that one.

I rate Asdas coloured medium cheddar higher than them 2! It tastes much better than their mature. It has to be the coloured one though.

I quite like Asdas white mature when I last tried it. Usually I get whatever's on £2 for 400g or similar.

neither, Davidstow from waitrose for me

I tend to grab whatever (as long as it's not low fat etc.) is on offer as mostly it is grated and melted over meals or toasted in a sandwich so either for me. If I fancy something to nibble on then favourite of the moment is M&S Cornish Cruncher

 

[panyan]

whatever is strongest

I love them both but Pilgrims Choice does tend to taste more mature to me, therefore it's my favourite. Grate it on top of some mashed potato = nom.

 

[BunnyKillBot]

Pilgrims > Cathedral

The Tickler is really nice but never reduced

 

[Skeeter]

Pilgrims.

Does Tesco still do the Colliers stuff in black packets? That was always a good strong solid cheddar.

Totally agree. It is definitely stronger and is also more crumbly.

Cathedral City can't be classed as cheese IMO. It's foul cheap crap. Pilgrims Choice Extra Mature is lovely.

Goes exceedingly well with some sliced strong pickled onions between two slices of whole meal. Wowzers!

 

[Edward01]

Collier's. Without a doubt. Try it,

 

[robfosters]

A lot of the time it comes down to what you want to use it for.

I am still searching for the perfect cheese on toast cheese.

 

[Rob_J]

Collier's. Without a doubt. Try it,

+1, great cheese to have hot or cold, nice flavour without the nasty after taste of Cathedral City or Pilgrims Choice.

 

[mysticsniper]

Cathedral City is a lot smoother than Pilgrims. I am not keen on the taste of Pilgrims, but each to their own.

Yep, no low fat stuff. It doesnt melt as well. Royal canadian mature cheddar is good as well, or some coleraine.
