Had to do a search. Never tried that particular type.

Stropshire Blue is pretty tough to find in the US but worth the effort. It's like a strong cheddar with blue cheese veins.

Sorry 😂. The cheese is Red Leicester, the human is Lester. They are pronounced the same.

I had some Red Leicester once, but haven’t found it again. It had a flavor similar to strong sharp cheddar, and a soft/creamy texture between fresh cheddar and American cheese, but not as rubbery; more… Friable? Crumbly? It was good.

I’ll keep an eye out for Stropshire Blue.

I'll have to try it.

Works great as a last name until someone has triplets and names them after the three stooges.

I have a friend who named his kids Brie and Colby. He never had a 3rd kid, so I always wondered what other cheese names were out there.

Don't think about cheese names. It's nacho problem.

[–] CareHare@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I don't know who started to down vote this; Nacho is a name in south America as far as I am aware.

Getting downvotes for a cheese pun is the most interwebs thing a person can do!

Ignacio = Nacho

My name's Coby. Close enough. People call me Colby all the time.
