Comment on Cheddar Cheese
The cheese and maggot tradition may have lasted almost two centuries beyond 1720. My grandfather lived in Ashton-Under-Lyne in the 1870's and he used to relate how his grandmother would send him to the store to get maggoted cheese. He would bring it back, they would scrape off the maggots, and melt the cheese in the fireplace. Perhaps infested cheese was a bargain, or more unlikely, it was a delicacy but in any event it was available for sale long after 1720.
