    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

      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.
