This Florida boy has been to the Mars Cheese Castle in Kenosha, and it was awesome, but I didn’t try any aged cheddar. Still, everything I got was probably the best cheese I ever had.
Accuracy fanatic, perhaps; liquor aficionado, not really. I wonder if your friend is aware that a scotch labeled ten years old is labeled such because it spent ten years aging in a cask, and not in a bottle. The time a scotch spends in a bottle is rather irrelevant to its age.
If you bought a “ten year old” scotch and left it in your liquor cabinet for fifty years, it’s still a ten year old scotch.
I have a six year old, unopened brick of Velvetta in my fridge, left by some visiting relative who bought it on sale.
Maybe I’ll auction it on E-Bay.
Tillamook makes some pretty good cheese. The co-op has a Web page here.
Y’all can all envy me. I’ve been to the town of Cheddar in England.
The cheese castle’s way too tacky for words, though.
So was Cheddar.
You could almost call it … cheesy. 
And here I was celebrating that I found a local shop that carries Caerphilly, Champignon and other tasty cheeses. That kinda takes the wind outta my sail.
Ooooh…lefsa 
That reminds me to get that recipre from my Gramma nxt time I call her. One of the things I miss the most about living out there.
I’m relieved to see this thread is not about someone who has just checked under their foreskin for the first time in 9 years.
UHHHH… CHEEEESE! Oh how I miss Cabot Vermont!
I must admit that I’ve been much more of a fan of New York or Vermont (mmm, Cabot) sharp cheddar than of Wisconsin, but I’m thinkin’ now I just haven’t had the good stuff! The New York seems to have a tang that the Vermont doesn’t, but isn’t as smooth. I like the Tillamook, too, but it’s not sharp enough.
Hell, living where I do, I have to survive on Cracker Barrell New York Extra Sharp. Not terrible, but nothing like the “counter cheddar” (lives on the countertop) at the smokehouse near my parents’ place in upstate NY.
Still, that “aged Velveeta” might be a new taste sensation. 
Only chocolate might be harder to give up than (good) cheese… My sympathies to those who can’t have it.
Interestingly enough, both are disrecommended for those taking MAOIs (a family of antidepressives) because they contain tyramine (an amino acid that causes dangerous reactions when combined with the medications).
