You are most welcome!:)

I am glad that you can get the Food Channel, at times they do have a few good things on!

That is interesting that there is a place called Worstershire and also Cheddar; and here is one silly American who would have never known this had you not shared it here with us!

We have a few places with some "Foodie" names...for one there is Hershey, Pennsylvania. Yes it is home to the Hreshey's Chocolate Factory.

All the traditional famous british cheeses like Cheddar, Wensleydale Cheshire, Stilton, Red Leicester (pronounced Lester) etc. Are all named after the towns where they were originally created.

Hey Guys,
Cable/satellite tv did not make it into my new household budget again this year… so no Food Network! But thankfully PBS still continues to impress! Have seen their new travel/cooking series "Culinary Adventures w/ Ruth Reichl"? It's billed as "a tour of the world's exotic cooking schools". I am LOVING it, so far!
Last week the former editor of now defunct "Gourmet" magazine traveled to the Pacific Northwest and feasted on clams, salmon, halibut and crab...
This week she traveled to Venice w/ her friend actress Dianne Weist and they took cooking lessons and roamed the beautiful city on foot and by gondola... they prepared lots of seafood and pasta, grilled cuttlefish, pork and herb-stuffed duckling roasted directly on an oven-rack, and tiramisu... a feast for the tummy and the eyes!

We have very good domestic cheddar cheeses made here in the states. Just as we have Swiss cheese, provolone cheese, mozzarella cheese and so on. Of course I must say that some imported cheeses are much better. My favorite cheddars are domestic though.

And also bleus. Here in Illinois, out in the Amish Country the Amish and Mennonites are known for their Swiss-Style Cheeses and Maytag Bleu- a copy of Roquefort from France...
