Talk:Cheshire cheese

message: I think a project or a sub-project (within the UK geography project) dealing with the whole of Cheshire would be a good idea.
I have taken as a precedent the project about Cornwall, which any project dealing with Cheshire could hope to aspire to, since this project has constructed Featured Articles about Cornwall-related things. So, I've listed a proposed project concerning Cheshire on Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals. I think it can easily co-exist with Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography. I would not want to diminish or withdraw from this other project. If you are interested in contributing to this proposed project, please add your name to list at the appropriate place. If you think it might be better placed as a sub-project of the existing UK Geography Project, please say so on that project's talk page, here, and let us discuss it. Many thanks.  DDStretch  (talk) 01:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  A Possible project (or sub-project) for Cheshire 

message: I am told often the wheels of cheese are formed in the shape of a cat's head, in homage to the Cheshire cat. Can this be documented, and if so, should be added into the article. Chris 03:32, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

text: If we go by names and written texts, then "of all cheeses available for sale in British supermarkets today" the oldest are Parmesan (mentioned by Boccaccio, about 1350) and Brie (several 14th-century sources). The oldest such cheese that's British is indeed Cheshire, first mentioned, along with Shropshire, about 1580. The Domesday Book story has no basis in fact. Andrew Dalby 21:53, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've corrected the early history paragraph. I've cited my book, because I don't know that any historian before me has said, in so many words, that this claim about Domesday Book is false. Works that I've seen, written before the Domesday Book legend spread so widely, don't mention it. The claim isn't mentioned at all in the Victoria County History, so far as I can find. But I'm prepared to bet that I'm not really the first, and the citation of my book needs to be replaced with whoever turns out to have said it before me! Andrew Dalby 22:11, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: cat-shaped wheels

message: The sentence "cheshire cheese is made up of cow's milk which feed mainly on wild radish", besides being grammatically nonsense (presumably meant to be "the milk of cows which..."), sounds highly improbable to me - are there really cows which feed mainly on wild radish, rather than grass? The history tab shows this as being added by an anonymous contributor. I did a quick google search and, apart from sites which seem to have copied this from Wikipedia (including the dodgy grammar and lack of capitalisation) the only possible source I could find was a site which describes itself as "a humorous take on British food and lifestyle" (http://www.britsfood.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=72&Itemid=83) - perhaps this is part of their idea of humour? Even if it is meant seriously, it is only referring to the blue variety, not all Cheshire cheese. 
Does anyone have confirmation from a reliable source that this is actually true? If not I suggest it should be deleted.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article states that Cheshire cheese comes in three varieties: red, white and blue. 
But no mention is made of the white variety.
This needs fixing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.25.65.3 (talk) 22:38, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
