Oxfordshire
_England_
An obsolescent type, now only of literary interest because of Jonathan
Swift's little story around it, in the eighteenth century:
"An odd land of fellow, who when the cheese came upon the table,
pretended to faint; so somebody said, Pray take away the cheese.'
"'No,' said I, 'pray take away the fool. Said I well?'
"To this Colonel Arwit rejoins: 'Faith, my lord, you served the
coxcomb right enough; and therefore I wish we had a bit of your
lordship's Oxfordshire cheese.'"
P
Pabstett
_U.S.A_
The Pabst beer people got this out during Prohibition, and although
beer and cheese are brothers under their ferment, and Prohibition has
long since been done away with, the relation of the processed paste
to a natural cheese is still as distant as near beer from regular
beer.
Packet cheese
_England_
This corresponds to our process cheese and is named from the package
or packet it comes in.
