In 1990, when Graham Padfield decided to start making cheese again, he was able to do so in the very same buildings in which his grandmother had made her Cheddar nearly 80 years before.

Their cheeses are made using old-fashioned manual methods, which gives the cheeses more flavour.

Traditional British food is hearty, comforting, and steeped in regional history — and while classics like Fish and Chips and Bangers and Mash are widely known, there are many lesser-known or “hidden favourite” dishes that showcase the UK's rich culinary traditions.

Avocado not ripe?
A perfectly ripe avocado is a bit of a small triumph. They operate on their own mysterious schedule .Here a tip:

To speed up ripening: Place the avocado in a paper bag with a banana or apple. The ethylene gas speeds things up.
