At last, decent cheese in France.....

[Allanm]

Not really a lover of soft cheeses anyway, but more and more shops seem to be stocking cheese like this.

What a waste buying that when there's so many nice French cheeses!! Maybe we need a cheese exchange!

I know, I’ll eat them but don’t enjoy them so much.

Cheese is one of the foods we take with us, you don't know what you're buying abroad ?

Trouble is, the nicer the cheese, the lower the level in the bottle....

 

[Barclaybasher]

Mercadona in Spain sells Cheddar at about €7 a kilo. Made in Spain but tastes the same as UK....

You may not know, but some of us do.

So maybe you should have used 'we' or 'one' instead of 'you'

Cantal cheese (from the Auvergne) is very like a mature chedder.

 

[spitfire]

I love all french cheese but Cantal is excellent to eat but to cook is too greasy. I usually buy Comte to cook .

Had some brie a few months ago, was on the buttermilk chicken burger in Wetherspoons. Was horrible, like a piece of insipid gungey plastic ? not that I've tried plastic before ?

Always take a good supply together with the Branston. Could make a fortune selling the Branston to Brits Abroad who have withdrawal symptons?

 

[Gellyneck]

Just in case yur wee bit o' cheese is missing home!

Oh no not Branston :-( It tastes like it has been made with turnip

Each to his own but English cheeses have won prizes in France, one or two French cheeses are quite pleasant but they are not Stilton etc. name your own.

It is.

 

[WillH]

Seriously Strong is made half a mile from where we live in south west Scotland, its made by a French company,Lactalis, so technically it's a French cheese.

You are worried about buying food abroad but eat in Wetherspoons stranger and stranger!!!!!!

 

[Phod's]

If we knew who or where many things where made or from many would never 'use' them..........that's why HSBC who took over the old Midland Bank many years ago only used letters or the electric company that is big in the UK, EDF

A good mature cheddar beats anything French every day of the week in my opinion.

 

[Phod's]

We holiday in France at least twice a year and adore the cheese's. We always have Cantal, a Brie, a goats and Bleu D'Auvergne..........I love black skin Gouda, Dutch I know but wonderful.
I love Branston pickle but only eat it with cheddar at home.....don't know why, c'est la vie!

 

[gus-lopez]

Oh no not Branston :-( It tastes like it has been made with turnip

I just eat it with a spoon from the jar

 

[Pekepal]

Perhaps some people like turnip. Wouldn’t know, just love a piece of cheddar with crackers and Branston. Yum. Do also like french cheeses with french bread.

Thank the lord for that, I can now get real cheese in France instead of that tasteless soft cheeses that cover every shelf. No doubt it won't last long because the French farmers will have a whinge then go on strike, and rampaging through the stores and chucking it out onto the pavement, or setting fire to it like they did to our lamb, or declare its unfit to eat because of bse or something. Ggrr must stop ranting..... Soon.
