Double Gloucester: an unexpected friend
Right, so on a whim I bought a block of Double Gloucester, a type of cheese, to further my progress towards experiencing all that Britain has to offer. It is yellow. The taste was familiar--I would have compared it to cheddar except that I had a bit of cheddar in the fridge, too, and it was different. I would describe the gloucester as drier and nuttier than cheddar. I'm not sure where or how it's used by the natives, but it struck me as a perfect cheese for mac and cheese, which I think I will attempt on the weekend, or for accompanying onions somehow.

Still ahead (when I work up the courage and money): The elusive Wensleydale.
