It&#8217;s hard to get mature cheddar in the Netherlands, so the cheese blend I have settled on for my home-made grilled cheese sandwiches is mature Gouda (standard &#8220;oude kaas&#8221;) and an almost wholly artificial individually wrapped &#8220;cheddar cheese&#8221; slice. The oude kaas gives it a strong tang, and the artificial slice contributes a gooey melting texture. I&#8217;m looking forward to giving something different a try.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m in Edinburgh again, back at the Dorstan Guest House, my home away from home.
