I just bought the B.T.C Old Fashioned Grocery Cookbook. For some of the recipes it tells me to use Hoop cheese. I have never heard of or seen Hoop cheese. Further googling as to what I can substitute for this ranges from cottage cheese to sharp cheddar. Is there anyone following this cheese thread who knows what the best substitute might be? This book uses it in quite a few of their recipes. Perhaps @kayb?
