      Its always in the pork pies i get, but i mainly buy one from the butchers. Saying that, morrisons and icelands do a half decent pork pie wth jelly. Lidl suprisingly do a pack of pork pies with jelly and they are almost as good as any pork pie ive had from my local pork-specialist butchers. I think its mainly those supetmarket/petrol station pork pies that let the side down,and dont contain jelly (or pork or pie for that matter) they dont deserve the use of the name pork pie

    Cheddar cheese was first made in 1172. I have tried 'other' Cheddar cheese from across the pond but even my American friend who smuggled it over preferred the real thing. Some of our supermarket strong types are OK. The one thing I was appaled at was U.S. chocolate. It was on par with a runny white of egg and tripe and onions cooked in milk.

      @@WAYAWAYWithAsh Hello, Short Crust Pastry is the normal Pie Pastry. Pork Pies are always made with Hot Crust Pastry. Personally I like mine with a little Mustard. Supermarkets will sell Sandwich Pickle which is the same but the pieces of Vegetables are diced smaller for better spreading. Do not get confused by the wording all the Cheese is made in a factory, It is then stored in a cave and turned regularly because of the year round even temperature. My favourite is Mature or Extra Mature. I think the Cheese is made under contract in America and has the extra colour added because we would never do that.

    Pork pie pastry is a hot water crust pastry, the jelly is poured in hot while it is still liquid through a hole in the top of the pie. Its function is to fill the void created when the pie cools. The meat contracts more than the pastry and if this was not filled with the jelly it could develop a mould very quickly shortening the shelf life of the pie.

    Lancashire crumbly is my favourite! I grew up in Lancashire but now live in Devon and it’s almost impossible to find here. Some supermarkets do sell cheeses called ‘Lancashire cheese’ but they’re not even close to what I grew up eating. It’s the type of cheese you can’t really slice because as the name suggests it crumbles. As a child I’d have it on a cracker with lots of butter and you’d sprinkle it on like snow. My grandmother would make me sit in the kitchen and eat it over the sink because it was so messy! 😂

    I was told by the MD of a major cheese distributor that the 'Cheddar' name comes from the process as well as the area. The cheese was made in large shallow trays and very early on in this area they discovered that if they sliced the maturing but still very soft cheese to create V-shaped wedges in the trays it affected the taste and constituency and aided it to mature quicker. Locally they joked that the V cuts resembled Cheddar gorge. And went on to call the process 'Cheddaring'. Others copied that process and called the result 'Cheddar'. And over time the local area of Cheddar has made claim to be the owners of that name. In reality, anyone making cheese using the 'Cheddaring' process, or V cutting the maturing product, will end up with 'Cheddar' cheese.

    Cheddar is in the Mendip hills in Somerset. It's a limestone plateau with three main gorges to the top Cheddar, Burrington Combe and Ebbor gorge. It's a great place for caving, climbing, walking and cycling. I used to cycle up Cheddar gorge as a kid and then zoom down it (you can go faster than a car cos you don't need to break as much round the corners).
    You'll often see climders and wild goats on the Gorge walls. For walkers there's a steep set of steps leading to the top of the gorge called Jacobs Ladder, however you have to pay to go up them (but not down). However you can avoid this. There are routes up both sides where you don't have to pay, they're not obvious though so check a map first. Other nice places to walk are Crooks peak, Black down and Dolebury Warren which is the site of an ironage fort.
    Many tourists come to check out cheddar caves and Wookey hole. The plateau is full of caves, it's the site of the world's first caving club and there are three clubs based in nearby Priddy. Fun fact: The UK's first cave dive was at Wookey and also the deepest cave dive(over 90m) by my friend Rick Stanton. Rick was also one of the cave divers who found and rescued the 13 boys of the Wildboars football team in Thailand.
