Prepare as in Liptauer, i.e. bung the cheese and mayo in a bowl and mix it up. I usually add 1/3 American cup of mayo, but really use as little as two tablespoons or as much as 225g. You just want it moist and a smooth consistency. Add the spices to taste. I usually start with a teaspoon of everything, except for the Worcestershire sauce, which I really like, and there I add one tablespoon. Add or subtract the spices as you like; really, it's not rocket science. I just like to think English flavours to go with cheddar, and taste as I go. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least twelve hours. If you're feeling festive, roll it in the shape of a ball and then in chopped nuts. Pecans are my favourite, but then I live in Texas. Walnuts are wonderful, but again whatever. You could just leave it as a moulded hump and all is well.
