Where is chedder cheese from?

Answer 1

The Lighter Side of History: Bologna History;(Which means some historical fact and a whole lot of bologna) It was Lord Prince Duke Jacques St. Chedder who first made chedder cheese in 980 AD. Prior to the invention of chedder cheese there was only two forms of cheese which were goats cheese and American cheese, although some historians, particularly the Swiss historians, will claim that Swiss cheese was made before Cheddar but it is just not true...at least not in this bogus historical account where truth only gets in the way of perfectly good nonsense. Lord Prince Duke Jacques St. Chedder came to invent Chedder cheese because of his great hunger for a sharp and cheesey like food that was thick and creamy in texture and would clog the arteries in no time flat. After years of experimentation he finally discovered the coveted recipe when he began to knead the curds with salt and then drain the whey. Editors note: All right Mr. that's enough. The Society of Uptight and Really Really Serious Historians, (S.U.R.R.S.H.), has no historical records or accounts of any Lord Prince Duke Jacques St. Chedder and would like you to at least make an effort to tell some historical truth. Oh come on! Historical truth? What the heck is that? Is that anything like mathematical fiction? Illiterate literature? Historical truth...Pffffffftttt! Your opinions are out of policy. Answer the question directly and as truthfully as possible...do you think you can do that? Oh all right. I will try. The name chedder cheese is used internationally for any form of cheese marketed as "chedder cheese" and does not have a PDO. A PDO is a protected designation of origin which means any Tom, Dick or Harry can make a cheese that imitates Chedder cheese and market it as "chedder cheese" and get away with it. Unless, of course, someone tries to market their imitation "chedder cheese" as West Country Farmhouse Chedder as the European Union recognizes West Country Farmhouse Chedder as having a PDO. Chedder cheese has been made since at least 1170 AD and it is guessed that Romans brought Chedder to the world from England. Prior to this chedder cheese just wasn't chedder if it wasn't made within thirty miles, or more appropriately 48 Km of Wells Cathedral. S.U.R.R.S.H. accepts this account as an honest attempt at historical accuracy. Yeah? Well we all know how cheesey S.U.R.R.S.H. can be.
