    follow Beefys link, and scroll down then.

    It tells us that cheese is too salty...and so on.
    I can see it now. I think something's been changed since my earlier post. There definitely was a problem.

      Odd . I redid the same link, and it worked.
      Checked it again and then it didn't !! beats me .
      anyway, watch out for the cheese danger.

      other things that are even more dangerous:

      Depleted Uranium missiles.
      many governments.
      Fracking
      the Stretford End.
      etc.

            Waitrose Somerset Brie.

            Yum.

            and not a protectionist policy in sight.

                And especially Somerset Brie. Whatever happened to Lymeswold, btw?
                It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                  I checked the Swiss cheese export figures.
                  They're doing fine, so I guess Somerset Brie will survive ok, unless of course ..........


                  Anyway,lets hope so, its very nice.

                    Looking forward to some Brazilian, Mongolian (goat's), Turkish (all, including a cheddar-like mature), Canadian specialties, etc after March

                      Some market-bought Gouda with cumin seeds here, which might not last out till Christmas. Delicious. And some Old Amsterdam. Also some of Lidl's finest vintage Cheddar - quite spectacular.

                        Lip smacking possibilities there, Beefy.

                        Sadly, Tesco removed from sale their canadian cheddar made from grass fed milk ( excellent for bone and dental health, and very tasty) but then it isn't freely traded, so rather unsurprising.( duty is €167.10 per 100 kg).

                            The only reason many of the cheeses we love survive is because of protected status
                            Cantal being a prime example

                            Sadly the UK was far too late in getting protection and we have lost many
                            when anyone can produce fake cheese in a big factory and call it what they like many of our small producers will disappear
                            Same goes for the smokie producers of Arbroath et al

                            Sad days ahead i'm afraid

                              And there’s a whole wide-world of delicious cheese out there, just waiting for us!

                                Oh dear, these customs unions dictating what cheese we can eat. Protectionism in the modern day
