Hi MH, Pete & Paul...from Geordie Paul,
Is it definitely just 'CHEESE' & not
'CHEESY' as in a cheesy grin or a broad grin?
Cheers or maybe Cheersy, Paul

Because of the word "so" in the clue, I think this word has to be an adjective, not a noun.

I thought the answer was CHEESE. Lancashire is a cheese (not cheesy) and they get you to say cheese to produce a broad grin. Not a very good clue.

Lancashire, if we mean the dairy product which comes from that county, is a cheese. It must, therefore be cheesy. Broad is an adjective, cheese isn't. In Chambers, cheese (n) has no definition as broad, whereas cheesy has "(of a smile) broad". It has to be cheesy.
