You’ve bought your first box of this. Yummy.

Hopefully you've already noticed that everyone else is driving on the right.

I once went to a French supermarket and somehow only bought rancid cheese, but it was better than that stuff.

I know I've arrived in my local Tesco when............

The thing is I buy all those lovely cheeses as well, but give me a baguette and qui rit and I’m as happy as Larry or Barry.

You know that you can get laughing cow triangles in UK? I think they're in the DIY isle in Waitrose, next to engine oil and grease

Waitrose, the poor man’s Booths, where there’s no DIY aisle but lots of posh French cheese in the same aisle as my qui rit.

Quite.

What Lancashire? Yes nice and crumbly.

MMMMMMMMM!! Cornish Brie

 

[DBK]

Other similar cheeses are available.

There's also a low fat Vache qui rit which I suggest giving a miss if you come across it. It has the consistency of Swarfega.

We have it here also.

So do we for the kids....

 

[TheMachMan]

We’re just heading home after 5 weeks, and the van smells like a Fromagerie Due the cheeses we’ve sampled. It’s all fine until the fridge gets opened! Think it might take some time to go…

Have you tried turning your taste buds off, waiting 30 seconds and turning them on again?
Either that or get them serviced as they're clearly faulty

For most people it would also be the last box. A slimy gunge bearing no resemblance to cheese.

 

[Barryh]

Say what you want, I love my Vache qui rit. Hmmm I think I’ll munch some on a baguette tomorrow, whilst contemplating the Med.

Brie de Meaux for me every time, and I can get it at LIDL without going to France!

 

[TinaLes]

I second The Brie de Meaux Cheese, we have a rule in our house, whoever opens it, finishes it, even with help of another! Same rule with Pate also.
But its true we are the world leaders in Cheese production, we even sell the foreign stuff.
Below is the verdict of many we see for sale in our UK Supermarkets, interesting results I found.

We test Britain's supermarkets and see who has the best cheeses for Xmas

GET crackers in this Christmas — and not the ones that go bang. Last week a British cheese beat others from around the world to be crowned the best. The Cornish kern, made by the Lynher Dairi…

Resurrecting my thread of a couple of years ago. I have discovered the most wonderful thing. Lidl in France are selling fresh little Vache Qui Rit pasties. Absolutely delightful. Say what you want, I don’t care .

They had cheddar in the Auchan at Boulogne sur Mer.... just saying.

I take it Pineapple Primula in a tube is too strong for your taste buds?

We've decended to this, which over processed leftover is best? We do very little that can be called the best but one is cheese. For me there is no comparison, you can't compare lead with gold.
