(heh heh, re the pipes) The Irish cheeses are slowly making their way over -- the problem being that some of them are raw-milk cheeses and therefore (I think?) now illegal in the US. Interestingly, though, when you're exiting Ireland via Dublin Airport, I've started to see at least one retailer -- Wright's of Howth -- carrying foods that have been pre-approved for import into the US by the USDA. Some cheeses have been among these.
And yeah, we do a good "Emmenthal" here. :) And many other clones. Interestingly, though, pretty much the one cheese that the Irish have tried to clone and failed is Monterey Jack -- their first efforts came out very much like cheddar, and tanked. So I still have to either bring it home from NY with me, or make it from scratch.
