Talk:List of British cheeses

message: I think the page should note whether each of the cheeses is artisanal, or industrial. I would be impressed if you could find "huntsman" cheese or Wensleydale in any reputable cheese mongers, maybe the international house of cheese, or Marks and Spencer Cheese counter, but they are certainly not pinnacles of fine British Cheese.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shuggyg (talk • contribs) 14:29, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I have removed "Cheddar Family" as I could find no support for it in British texts.
I also plan to reorganise the list to emphasize the major cheese types. OK with everyone? Julianp 02:03, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: I removed this:
*Heartily Healthy "Cheese" Clinically proven to reduce cholesterol.
Since it is an advert. Their own website admits it isn't really a cheese, so it is clearly out of place in a list of cheeses. If we ever have a list of 'faux cheeses' or 'imitation cheeses' then we could stick it on that page. 23:36, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: I've moved Lymeswold to the Blue Cheese part of list bacause that's how I remember it and it's describes that way in the Lymeswold article. I've also removed the 'it was flop' part because that's explained in the Lymeswold article and because it isn't as if it only lasted six months. (Timffl 19:25, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I've reinserted Cheddar, as it was originally an English method of cheese making from Cheddar in Somerset. Even though it may be made all over the world (like Edam) it doesn't stop it from being originally English.
Also there is a more comprehensive list of British cheeses with details at http://www.cheesebites.co.uk/ and http://www.cheese.com/country.asp . This info should be incorporated into the article. If I have a spare hour or two, I'll give it a go. --Dumbo1 23:54, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

message: This list is old and dusty. It has a few errors and way too many non-linked cheeses or links to articles that don't exist. Personally I'd like to see the list go the way of List of French cheeses. What do others think? Under the guise of WP:BOLD I'll leave it a few days and if nobody objects (or even responds) I'll crack on... --Simple Bob (talk) 22:53, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text:  Just a little thought. The as British cheeses don't have anything like the AOC it might be worth breaking them down by country as per Template:Cheeses of the United Kingdom. Just a thought. talk tospy on Kae 14:37, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice idea. No AOC, but we do have PDO cheeses so I'd like to focus in making sure all of those are listed - even if it means initially they will be redlinked. I don't think in these cases redlinking is a problem because I think as PDO cheeses that they are notable enough that an article should be created at some point.  --Simple Bob (talk) 14:51, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Oldest British cheese

message: This article seems like it's become clogged with the list equivalent of silt – unattested-to entries, ones with no references or only primary sources, a number of entries with no articles at all. Per WP:V and WP:ONUS, I'm going to be removing these, as I strongly suspect a number of them are promotional.--Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ( me!) 16:40, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
