Bacon and Banana from a sandwich shop on the outskirts of Wimbledon many years ago bread I forget
I know what you mean. Cheddar suffers from a lack of D.O.P. Any block of yellow nothingness can be called cheddar.

Thankfully food has moved on from the rubbish they used to serve in state schools .
You must love Subway then. Half a dozen breads to choose from and not one of them that tastes like bread. And speaking of Subway, does anyone else remember Capt Submarine in the 80's in whatever that street's called opposite Brighton Town Hall? Foot-long Sub was to die for, least it seemed like it at the time. Seemed to unleash a whole world of roll-based possibilities in that bygone era when even things like garlic and olives seemed impossibly exotic and sophisticated. Suspect it may not have stood the test of time too well tho
These suggestions are getting evermore bizarre!
Perhaps we should do the same thing with Cheddar, that the French did with Champagne, and make it illegal for anyone to manufacture it anywhere other than the town or area that the product puts it's name to.
After all, have you ever tasted a "bad" Champagne? I'm far from an expert but l've enjoyed all that l have tasted.
That ship has sailed, I'm afraid. West Country Farmhouse Cheddar does have protected status though.
