Is there really any point to mild cheddar?My experience with cheddar cheese has always been: the sharper, the better.That sharp cheddar isn't even necessarily more expensive makes mild cheddar seem like the most useless cheese.
>>20974249part of me wants to say "haha le american can't handle it" but, it exists because it's popular. it's a different taste
>>20974266>"haha le american can't handle it"That wouldn't even make sense in this context. He's telling us that he enjoys the stronger flavour.
>>20974249I like milder cheeses for grilled cheese and things like that. For most other things sharper is better though.
>>20974249Strangely I also prefer a sharp cheddar, but like other anon, found milder ones serve certain food types better..nachos and hotdogs don't benefit from sharp cheddars
>>20974249Your taste buds sound fried
>>20974249Mild works better as an ingredient in a larger dish. As a topping for chili, for example, you want some cheese taste and texture in the background without overpowering the chili itself.
>>20974270>>20974309I can understand you enjoying milder cheeses in some circumstances, but is that mild cheese really going to be cheddar then? Mild cheddar has too stiff of competition, whereas sharp cheddar, to me, is the primary purpose of cheddar as a cheese. If it's not sharp, it's nothing. There's a billion other cheeses to choose from then.
isn't mild cheese better if you want it to melt?
>>20974327Not mild cheese, mild cheddar. If I want a melting cheese, I'm going for swiss, gouda, provalone, havarta, muenster, colby jack, etc
>>20974249Ytboi don't sharpen they Cheddar I'm dead
>>20974327Yeah. Mild or medium for melting.
>sharp cheddar isn't even necessarily more expensivelolBuy some other cheese from time to time besides bullshit blocks of "cheddar" for $1.49/ea lmaongl, I fucks with the cheap shit occasionally myself but real cheddar absolutely costs more the longer it's aged/the sharper it is. If it's dyed unnaturally orange or it's some unnaturally white shade, it's not real cheddar. Properly, the stuff is the same vague yellow as parmigiano, gouda and other real cheeses
>>20974249>Is there really any point to mild cheddar?mac and cheese.
>>20974839Even that's better with sharp cheddar
>>20974249Mild is for when I don't want to eat such a rich dish.
>>20974249Old cheddar is too spicy for the American palate.
>>20975361>>20974266The average American is a spic (especially on 4chan), so this jibe don't really jive no more.
>>20975378>The average American is a spicis this something that yuros actually believe? Whites are still the largest demographic in this country.
>>20974249has anyone else noticed the rapid degradation of cheddar cheese in the USA? It seems like every single brand of brick cheddar has become extremely soft and lacking in the signature cheddar flavor that they use to have. I'm running out of options when it comes to cheddar because I need a lot of it. It's basically a staple of my diet.Whenever I go shopping I squeeze the brick a little to see how soft it is. This shit is genuinely american cheese levels of soft. It's getting bad, and it tastes like shit. Even worse, it doesn't melt properly and becomes grainy really fast, and clumps up after melting.It's basically inedible. idk how I'm the only person who's noticed this. I talk to people IRL and it's like the cheese has never changed.what the fuck is going on with cheddar cheese in america? Are they just not aging it for as long anymore? Are they using different, cheaper ingredients to make it? What the fuck is happening?
>>20975395I've noticed, yeah. Where I live I use to buy Lucerne cheddar cheese from the store. It had a good flavor and was nice and firm. Now the same block of cheese is really soft and mushy, and tastes more like cheddar "flavored" cheese.Pretty sure it's just inflation, but the cheese manufacturers don't want to raise prices and piss people off, so they drop the quality, probably ship their cheese out faster so it loses out on aging, resulting in a softer cheese that has a less developed flavor profile.
Mild is better if you are making authentic crab cakes. Sharp will easily overpower the delicate lump crab taste.
>>20974249let people enjoy things chud
>>20974327This. Sharper cheddars have much stronger flavors so I like them on charcuterie or sandwiches, but they're too crumbly to melt.
>>20975413No.
>>20974249>Is there really any point to mild cheddar?It's cheap.
how is red leicester?
>>20974356gouda is a mediocre melting cheese, I will take cheddar any day. It just tastes American and no I will not elaborate.t. Dutchfag
>>20974249Mild cheddar tends to be less greasy when melted so it's better for scrambled eggs.
>>20975740Back before I started boycotting America for not building a northern border fast enough, I used to enjoy cheddar cheese.I still do, because it's named after a place in England... Get your shit together Murikka.
>>20974270I prefer a sharp grilled cheese personally.
>>20974249>My experience with cheddar cheese has always been: the sharper, the better.I thought that too but only decided to test out the theory recently. I bought this brand and it was slightly too sharp to enjoy eating by itself. It's still good paired with something else, but I won't be buying it again.
>>20975792>coming from a leafOh boy. You got enough problems you gotta fix.
>>20975864Apparently we're on our fucking own to build a wall before the MAKE CANADA AMERICA AGAIN crowd gets voted in. Thank god we make our own cheese.
>>20975645Sharper than Red Leicest, not as sharp as Red Leicestest.
>>20975395>Even worse, it doesn't melt properly and becomes grainy really fast, and clumps up after melting. Sounds like they fucked up making it, maybe they switched from one coagulant (usually synthetic rennet) to a cheaper, worse one, maybe they've been skipping steps in the production process to reduce time/energy required etc.
>>20975918I hope you build a wall leaf anon.
>>20976975I'll do it myself if I can charge $50/h plus expenses. Definitely billing it forward to the Trump administration.
>>20977001So that's what, like 25 cents in USD?
>>20974266Mindbroke rent free, have some self respect
