I had some once - well, it got into my mouth for a few seconds before I spat the foul, rancid stuff out.
....I think a piece of inanimate (aah,but is it?) French cheese has done what a lot of us posters would have liked to do all these years to Simon....
....Best wishes [to the piece of cheese, of course]
That said, can anything from across the channel be better than a farm-made, organic, traditional Wensleydale, with Cox's apples and celery, wholemeal spelt breadrolls and a pint of something good in the real ale line?
Two pints, perhaps?

Who on earth want's to eat "normal" cheese ?
and what's "decent" got to do with it ?
That was the most hilarious bit.
It's not complicated, 2Gs: Simon doesn't like that perverted, indecent foreign cheese...
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Wherever you wander, there's no place like home ... I doubt Wensleydale would be the first choice down this way
And in any case, who would want to choose the same thing every day? A sticky camembert, French crusty bread, perhaps a few olives, a couple of glasses of good red wine (or Normandy cider if you prefer) would go down just as well ...
I'd advise you to steer clear of Wales, though, where you'll find farmhouse goat's cheese a speciality, and Gloucestershire where you may be served a pear-washed Stinking Bishop, or maybe you'll encounter a Swaledale ewe's milk cheese. I think it's the type of milk that gives it its flavour, rather than the crossing of the channel.
Ed - Ha! Is that Gromit vid a reference to SB?

Reason: Read an earlier post.
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.

Two London-based friends spent Christmas 2012 in the their house in Provence with a new wood-burning stove (toasty warm ) and had their French neighbours round over four days to taste the delights of traditional British provender. At first said neighbours were a tad suspicious of the richly dark Christmas pudding and mince pies but they came round to their charms and pronounced them good. The real hit tho was a selection of British cheeses, particularly mature cheddar and Stilton.
aahhh large lump of pretty good Roquefort on Tesco's reduced shelf, eaten with wholemeal walnut rolls and a Waldorf Salad .... an off diet treat of some delight!!!
According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.
