Mitre cheese triangles.
2 Answers
Could someone confirm a cheese product that was available in the 1950's.
In 1956, when I was eleven years old I attended a boarding school which had remarkably good food. Sometimes, at teatime, after the main offering we had available along with our bread & butter and crackers some cheese triangles very similar in size to today's "Dairylea". They were packed similarly in sixes or eights in a round carboard box. Each triangle had a label which I think was predominantly green and the cheese was called "Mitre". The cheese itself was an orangey colour and tasted delicious. I don't think for one minute that it is still made today but I know that cheese labels are collected and it would be satisfying to have my recollections confirmed especially after a recent "Old Boy's Dinner" when this subject came up and the contemporary "lad" I was talking to suggested I was arriving at my dotage as he is one who prides himself on his memory couldn't remeber it at all.
There is a bottle of wine, due next January if I can have someone also remember this product.

That is absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much Winner. I have the proof I need to take a bottle of wine off a chap who always beat me into second place at table tennis over half a century ago!
Isn't memory a wonderful thing? To hold an accurate image of a cheese wrapper for all this time without once considering it, at a time of life I was probably adding a thousand facts I was supposed to remember and have forgotten the vast majority!
Really chuffed, thanks again.
