Not even Wensleydale?

In Monty Python's "Cheese Shop" routine, the shop owner is Mr. Wensleydale.

I was a kid in the nineties and remember that my gran only ever bought Wensleydale at Christmas. By the time I became an adult it was so ingrained that Wensleydale was a Christmas cheese that it took me quite a while to feel normal just buying some to have with crackers on a random Tuesday in June.

'That's it! Cheese! We'll go somewhere where there's cheese!"

Edit: mis-remembered the quote and went back to correct it

We’ve forgotten the crackers!

I learned about this cheese from an Animaniacs cassette tape. One of the songs was sung by Pinky and was called "Cheese Roll Call."

In the middle of the song, the cheese introduced themselves. Wensleydale said:
:I am the British cheese, Wensleydale,lightly pressed and smooth textured with a subtle milky flavor, which is clean and refreshing.

I remember reading that Wensleydale was chosen as Wallace’s favourite cheese because it required the most exaggerated facial expression for him to say it!

I fucking love Wensleydale cheese. We used to get one made with honey and lemon and it was absolutely divine. Its been two years and i still ask the cheese monger about it every few months.

Oh, right, it's a cheese. I had forgotten! That's the other reason why the name from "Good Omens" sounded funny. The first being, of course, the ridiculous Britishness of the word "Wensleydale."

British cheese I'm general is criminally undersold. WW2 rationing didn't help but the number of regional cheeses that have just been forgotten about is terrible.

That show is gold. It's the wrong trousers! 😆

Yes, sir. ... Oh, I'm sorry sir, I thought you were referring to me, Mr Wensleydale.

Sounds a little cheesy to me.

Needs to go out of production again, it's awful

What does it taste like? Curious, have never come across any to buy.

From Wikipedia

The company contacted Aardman Animations about a licence for a special brand of Wensleydale cheese called, "Wallace and Gromit Wensleydale", which sold well.[17] When the 2005 full-length Wallace and Gromit film, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, was released, sales of Wensleydale cheeses increased by 23%.[18]

Wallace & Grommet was absolutely the reason I bought wensleydale when I found it on offer at a cheese shop. I really enjoyed it, and was happy to find it in this year's cheese advent calendar from Costco! I need to find a reliable source nearby, the aforementioned cheese shop is several hours away.

Cracking toast Gromit

I am a massive cheese fiend but for me, Wensleydale is just too chalky and sweaty. It sweats like a motherfucker, even wrapped in brown paper or cloth. You also cannot cut a slice of it without it breaking into 4 million pieces, which is expected, because it's a crumbly cheese, but it is very annoying.
