Childhood is enjoying the taste of Chedder Cheese. Adulthood is realizing that Parmesean makes more sense.

Lolno.
If you had said blue cheese I might agree with you.
Adulthood is realizing different cheeses suit different circumstances

This.
And realizing that "parmesan" is bullshit fake crap. The real stuff is called parmigiano-reggiano.

cheddar is pretty pungent and I use it as a parmigiano substitute in a pinch. that said, both are awesome cheeses with different uses

>cheddar
>parmigiano substitute
huh, i never made that connection between those two. might as well try it next week to see if it even works that way

I sure do love a good parmesan sandwich just as much as you do OP!

Parmesan is the French name for the cheese and is every bit as protected as the parmigiano-reggie-fils-amie name in the EU.
Cheddar and Parmesan have rather different use cases. I would not substitute one for the other.

It really, really doesn't.
I mean, I love cheddar and parmesan and all kinds of other cheeses; but you can't just substitute one for the other all willy-nilly like that

aged cheddar is really good on top of bakes and in various pasta sauces. not the same as parmigiano but decent enough

Out of curiosity, are you American?
I've noticed that American cheddar is much less flavorful and more accessible to children, while in Europe it's stronger and less children eat it.

In America it's also orange for some reason. Real cheddar is very light yellow.

aged white cheddar for snacking along with salami and granny smith apple

I get it because I too am a middle class north american and thought that Parmesan was just that powdery crap (pic related), but actual Parmesan is still just called Parmesan in many places in north america.
