What is “snappy” cheese, exactly? It’s probably synonymous with sharp cheddar, which is the kind that would certainly stand up best to being subsumed into an equal amount of butter, but doesn’t “snappy” sound a little more fun? I know I’m always partial to the cuter name for a given ingredient. There’s probably not a huge taste-related difference between this spread and the act of just adding the separate ingredients to your sandwich, so this is a texture-based experience: will you add shredded cheddar for that slight variation in mouthfeel, or use some softened MacLaren’s cheddar from the red tub and make one smooth, unified spread? Personally, a mixture like this makes me think of cold roast chicken, tomato, and onion, but this butter is just a foundation for you to build your sandwich masterpiece.
