    That looks less like a big slice of cheese and more like a big slab of butter. Which makes me feel ill.

      The longer I look at it the less I can identify what kind of cheese it is, so you may be on to something

        I’m pretty sure that’s a slab of bog standard NY cheddar. Something like this

        It’s barely aged so it isn’t crumbly, but it’s not bad. I’d actually eat that sandwich.

          Tim Stillman lives in England and was on his way to a football match in England, so it’s probably not NY Cheddar.

            Looks like he’s in a pub, so probably whatever cheddar Brakes are knocking out these days.

            Either way, there’s too much of it.

          … Wensleydale?

      The default, in the UK, would be a medium mature cheddar. It’s strong enough to taste cheesy, but not so strong that you can’t eat a slab of it. A few other cheeses would also fit the bill, but they tend not to come in blocks. That is a slab cut from a block of cheese.

      We don’t normally cut it quite that thick, in a sandwich, but it’s not so big as to off put most English. The raw onion would be a lot more divisive.
