2 Jarlsberg - almost 'like' Carlsberg

[tarbar]

Thanks to you both not being much of drinker it didn't ring a bell but it sounds good to me.

1. Höfdingi is an Icelandic cheese, if it helps at all.

[FoxLee2]

I googled list of cheeses with nine letters and there is one called Excelsior. Do you think that fits the bill?

[tarbar]

I do FoxLee , but believe me I have 13 pages of cheeses and coming from the country doesn't matter it's the SOUNDS like part they are looking for ,but thanks for trying.

[FoxLee2]

Don't really understand your answer tarbar. What country does excelsior sound like it comes from? The word itself meaning excellent sounds like it's the best cheese.

Foxlee2, tarbar is looking for a cheese that fits clue2, eight letters.

^ clue,1^

I'm confused here by the tarbar/foxlee exchange.
Anyway, I don't think we are looking for an Icelandic cheese for Q1. More likely it's a reference to something from/in iceland (like reindeer or geysers but not those) or somewhere in Iceland- or iceland frozen food shop

[dannyk13]

FF, it's a soundalike that is required.

[fiction-factory]

Not sure what point you are making danny

[fiction-factory]

I know we're looking for a cheese but if there were a Reindeer cheese that could work. Doesn't have to be a sounds like

[dannyk13]

FF the clue says 'sounds like'

[fiction-factory]

But could be soundlike- eg if there a cheese called Rekyovik say

[MargoTester]

I think foxlee is answering question 2 - 9 letters excelsior( Superior,the best) which is a cheese

[dannyk13]

FF see OP's post at 17.20

But Reindeer cheese say sounds as if it could come from Iceland (pr Lapland so maybe too general) to me. Anyway, you try to solve it your way- you are ore experienced/better at these than me
