"Scotland's oldest cheese" edit
The article claims (with no references) that Caboc is "Scotland's oldest cheese". While this may be true, the VisitScotland organisation claims otherwise at http://eatscotland.visitscotland.com/food-drink/scottish-food/dairy/cheese.html which states that Crowdie is "The most ancient cheese in Scotland", having been introduced by the Vikings and dating from the eighth century. Caboc is, the same page states, "another of Scotland's oldest cheeses, dating back to at least to [sic] the 15th century". Either Crowdie is the oldest, or Caboc is, or a distinction should be drawn between Caboc as a "native" Scottish cheese (though apparently from an Irish recipe) and Crowdie as one introduced from overseas. I've tagged the whole para as needing citation because without references it's really no more than an interesting and pleasant legend. Tonywalton Talk 23:16, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
- Strikeout above as I now see that the story is referenced under "Historical and Textural Reference from the Teddington Cheese" (ref 2, third para). However the conflict between this and VisitScotland's view should be resolved, so I've left the fact tag. Tonywalton Talk 23:21, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
