Ah that maybe, but cheddar is to cheese as hoover is to vacuuming.

If you consider stealing the word cheddar as being an oxymoronic crime of which the Scots are guilty, that is not the worst thing we do to cheese.

My London born partner was horrified when on her first visit to a Scots supermarket she saw Scots Cheddar on the shelf that was coloured orange. I think this idiosyncrasy only manifests itself for Northern Irish and Scottish consumption.

Bear in mind that the land of the deep-fried-mars-bar also brought you cheese on chips.
