That "cheddar" isn't cheddar. It's probably not even cheese. It's a yellow melting slab. Not a lot of people actually eat real cheddar.

True, the cheddar I'd use to get in Ireland was very different than the yellow plastic-wrapped slices you get in the supermarket, or the gooey slabs at McDonald's.

It was more crumbly and a darker orange colour. Also much stronger taste.

They had it in the supermarket but it was not the wrapped-slice stuff but sold in bricks.

I'm surprised they're allowed call that stuff Cheddar actually.

If I recall correctly, the MSG content in both is not inconsiderable, so this isn't really a counterpoint.
