What is white cheddar?
Cheddar cheese is a variety of semi-hard cow's milk cheese which varies from mild to extra sharp, depending on how long it has been aged. Sharp cheddar is harder as it is aged for longer. Other than the color, the cheese variants have no nutritional or flavor difference.
White cheddar cheese is a variant of cheddar that is off-white, and can be used in a number of dishes such as salads, sandwiches, soups, baked dishes, and pasta. It is hard and slightly crumbly in texture. When heated, the white cheddar produces a stringy and gooey melt.
Long John Silver's, or LJS, is an American fast-food restaurant chain that specializes in fried/grilled seafood dishes, and is known for its freshly sourced ingredients. The brand is named after pirate Long John Silver - a main character from the book Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson.
