Mankwold

Mankwold is the common name for the fictional form of English soft cheese, created by the character Helen Archer in the Borsetshire village of Ambridge, in the long-running Radio 4 soap-opera The Archers.

The formal name for the cheese, as used on the radio series, is "Borchester Blue".

It is believed that the name originates as a synthesis of the vulgar English expression 'manky' (meaning approximately, 'in a poor or dirty condition') and the suffix '..wold' that signifies the hills of parts of the East Riding of Yorkshire in North-Eastern England, and is a suffix often therefore found in the names of the cheeses from that part of the world.
