iadoremika Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Haha! Yeah, if you see people with stuff in their siggys saying things like 'Honourary Aussie' or 'Honourary Brit' then that means that they post in those country threads, but aren't actually from that country. I guess I could be one anyways...hehe...my mom is from England. This is random but it reminds me of something... I wanted a Bodies Without Organs CD but couldn't find one here in Canada. So I emailed my grandparents in England to see if they could get it there. So they emailed me back saying that my aunt knows someone who might be able to get one for me. So I got this email from them today and they said that my aunt knows someone from Sweeden who is going to send them the CD. How crazy is that?!? A CD sent from Sweeden to England to Canada...

I'm British and German. uhmm, my great uncle invented cheddar cheese in somerset lmao. seriously, look it up on wikipedia :roftl: My last name is British, same as his. woot cheese. :naughty:He must be extremely old or you must be...... We know of a local cheese named Cheddar as far back as the late 12th century, a much older provenance than any of the other renowned cheeses of England. Court account books show Henry II ordering over 10,000lb of Cheddar at a rather favourable one farthing (one-quarter of an old penny) per pound in 1170, as did his son Prince John in the following decade. In these days, cheese was a bespoke affair, being made to order by dairy farmers, rather than being a matter of routine production.

babspanky Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 You can read this if you'd like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_HardingI honestly don't know all that much about it, my granny knows most. According to that site, your gg did the following. The cheese mill was invented by Joseph Harding, and established an easy way of draining the curds of as much of their moisture as possible. This resulted in a semi-hard, close-textured, non-crumbly cheese, the style universally associated with Cheddar. Harding, born into a cheesemaking family in 1805, was more than any other individual responsible for the international spread of Cheddar as a popular cheese, helping to introduce Cheddar-making into Scotland, and also training American cheesemakers on their visits to Somerset. Reading more, I think he standardized the recipe rather than invented it, as you can see Cheddar is much older than 150 years old! And wiki can be written by anyone, you know.
