The cheese we use all the time is Cracker Barrel extra old and I find the flavour disappears with cooking and it's nothing like English Cheddar anyway. I know this sounds as if it has to be English or nothing but it's not like that at all. I'd be so happy to find something that was as good. ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380296569508243613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-56340539203898905442014-02-11T06:27:15.200+00:002014-02-11T06:27:15.200+00:00Amelia, my friend Elly sent me this message.

I will copy and paste it here as I feel you would find it very helpful!!<br /><br />I am going to make your macaroni and cheese.. your follower Amelia was asking you what strong cheddar you would use in Canada I used Cracker Barrel or Black Diamond... the extra old is strong... and I really like the Balderson 12 year old aged cheddar.. I don't know where she lives, but all the cheeses you mentioned including the Red Leichester ..sp.... is available in fine cheese shops as well as many English cheeses. Saturday I was shopping at a store here and a friend said there is nothing we cannot find in Toronto now!! There are lots of great cheese shops too! Hope that helps..Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-49162910790556192932014-02-11T06:23:49.055+00:002014-02-11T06:23:49.055+00:00Amelia, Canadian Cheddar tends to be a lot smoothe...Amelia, Canadian Cheddar tends to be a lot smoother and creamier with a somewhat milder flavour. Ours is more crumbly. Ours is also not dyed, so it is white. You could try subbing an extra sharp cheddar and using a bit more of it to get that same flavour. Also, I used the Leicester cheese here to give it some colour, so sub that with an equal amount of sharp cheddar as well. I hope this helps!<br /><br />Thanks Monique and Mary!Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-78961489217621321082014-02-11T00:54:56.434+00:002014-02-11T00:54:56.434+00:00I'm with you Marie, mac and cheese is the ulti...I'm with you Marie, mac and cheese is the ultimate in comfort food - yours looks decedent and delicious:)<br />Mary xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-3501868216907584422014-02-10T19:21:05.380+00:002014-02-10T19:21:05.380+00:00You may remember that living in Canada it's al...You may remember that living in Canada it's almost impossible to get a good sharp cheddar such as can be had in England. It doesn't matter how expensive, and we've tried them all, nothing compares to English Cheddar. <br />Do you have any recommendations for a good sharp cheese I can buy here?ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380296569508243613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-43226260059616384102014-02-10T14:10:53.515+00:002014-02-10T14:10:53.515+00:00Such a great comfort meal:)Such a great comfort meal:)La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-73439423932854443532014-02-10T06:07:41.896+00:002014-02-10T06:07:41.896+00:00April all work and no play is just no fun!
