One supermarket find I keep on coming back to is Sainsbury’s Shropshire Red. It’s like a good, strong cheddar but is as creamy as it is deep.

I’m with you on 1 and 3 
We have a saying in this house. Was originally said dead-pan straight faced, unironically and completely seriously in conversation. One of my sons replied to his mother saying she couldn’t find the cheese:
“Mom… If you can’t find cheese in this house… You’re not looking very hard”.

Ah, cheese. I like it very much, most cheeses anyway - a good Wisconsin sharp cheddar is usually what I will reach for first - that and a good Brie - but I don’t have the passion for it that I am feeling in this thread! Perhaps I should pay more attention and dive in a bit more.
Great, now I’m hungry and there is no cheese to be found!

Ashes, ashes!
I LOVE cheese, but not the real stuff. 
I just finished two toasted cheese sandwiches with Velveeta processed cheese. Ummm.

Now that you mention a good Brie - my wife does this baked brie thing, where she’ll sauté up a bunch of mushrooms and onions, then tops a wheel of brie with it all, pops the whole mess in the oven. When it comes out, the cheese has swelled, melted, and is amazing with crackers or as a topping for steaks.

an Irjsh person that doesn’t drink whisky? WTH!
Holy shite that sounds good! I may have to show this to my bride (I have no shot of doing this! LOL!).
I’m more of a casual cheese grazer. You know, on a plate with a good cracker, bread and usually wine. I have been eating a lot of Panino’s, lately. That is a nice piece of mozzarella wrapped in Prosciutto or Salami. Really good.
You know, now that I think of it, I eat more cheese than I realize!
one of my fav snacks is heavily buttered French loaf with cheese.
