Cheddar - Cathedral City or Pilgrims Choice?

I have to admit I was expecting a bit more flavour from the Cathedral City, but it's about on par with most 'medium' strength cheddars.

For the half-price offer it's pretty good. But there's no way I'd pay the regular price.
 
Mild Chedder for me, not even sure which brand it is, cathedral city is nice, don't think I've ever had Pilgrims

I usually get that massive block for about £3, I think it's tesco value lol
 
Between those two it's all much of a muchness really. I'd probably done what you did and got the cheapest if I was just after a milder cheddar.

Good cheddar hurts a bit and makes your tongue go bumpy :D. I tend to buy more locally produced extra mature cheddars though.

Same. I only tend to buy it when it's on buy-one-get-one-free.
 
Current fridge stock is Barber's 1833 Reserve which is quite nice. We tend to buy the big packs of whatever is on offer, Pilgrim's/Cathedral/Lake District.
 
For general purpose cooking or cheese on toast etc., either one would do. Like some have already said, I tend to get whichever one is on offer at the time (it's very rare at least one of them aren't).

If I want a nice tasting cheddar for a sandwich or on crackers, I'll go for a better quality farm made cheese. I recently had Isle of Mull cheddar which was so strong it hurt my mouth - as Muban rightly says, that's the sign of a good cheddar :D
 
Definitely Pilgrim's if the choice is only between that and Cathedral City but I'm another fan of the black packet of Collier's powerful Welsh cheddar. I'm more into smoked cheeses at the moment though.
 
I am eating some Cathedral City at the moment, but only because its currently £1.99 for the big pack at Tescos.
 
Neither as they are fast produced and not very nice. Both are guilty of producing cheeses with salt crystals in it, just nasty.
 
Currently have about half a kilo of Black Bomber in the fridge. Superb stuff.
Also have a small Stichelton * unpasteurised stilton, thats not allowed to be called stilton* and some Wooky Hole cave aged Cheddar.

Helps that we've got a fantastic cheese shop just around the corner from the flat.
