Muenster alternative (4)
I believe the answer is:
edam
'muenster alternative' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for edam that I've seen before include "Made (anag) - Dutch cheese" , "Cheese made in Holland" , "Mild yellow Dutch cheese" , "Dutch market town famous for its cheese" , "something to have with crackers" .)
