The French are not happy - what's new I hear you say...

French cheesed off as British cheddar is judged superior to comté or camembert

Guess the English had to get one last victory over the French before they set sail out of the EU ... :pac:

Ah but that depends whether it's good beer or wine and who's drinking it!

What about yer man who used Cheddar in a souflé and lost a Michelin Star over it, he was going to sue the tyre company over it

Cheese is the greatest food known to humanity. One of the high points of human achievement.

Vita nova

Cheeses, that's embarrassing for a country of which Charles De Gaulle famously said "how can anyone govern a nation that has two hundred and forty-six different kinds of cheese?".

And yes there are two from Israel. But they're not chesses of Nazareth







And no mention of casu marzu

Tesco have some great cheeses too especially at Xmas time...there is a brie with oak & mushroom yum yum

Graces7

My total favourite I buy at Christmas is Wensleydale with cranberries.. Would make it less special if I bought it more often... Just.... delicious.. LIDL have it, so do Tesco and supervalu. The rich creaminess of Wensleydale with the sharpness of cranberries... longing!

But it is very special indeed.

The big news should have been

Mr Farrand said new cheeses were being produced in the most unlikely countries.
“This year, a Japanese cheese was entered for the first time and came 10th.
From a country where dairy products are not part of the traditional diet, this is quite an achievement and we were happy to see it.”

An indicator of how far eastern diets have been corrupted by the west.

Horses for courses. I don't like the texture of camembert, but I don't find the taste too offensive.. But I loves my oak smoked cheddar. Somebody mentioned Dunnes stores cheese selection, good call. SuperValu ain't too bad either.

Lol. Cheese the great corruptor! I know someone that believed garlic was responsible for the Fall of the Roman Empire or at least something like that :pac:

AllForIt

Slavoj Žižek the Slovenian philosopher says some French cheeses were originally 'mistakes', something gone wrong but then sold as some amazing creation. Like Champagne, wine that unintentionally developed bubbles. He was (of course) making an analogy to something I don't recall, or more likely didn't understand .

Wine is better than beer? That's simply not true. Or vice versa for that matter. Wine is stronger. It doesn't equate to being better. I'm a drinker, I'd much prefer a bottle of speckled hen to a bottle of Gallo family shyte. Likewise id enjoy a bottle of '67 Chablis than I would driving a slab of Heineken into my ample sized gut.

A few of the "Irish" cheeses in the awards are PDO from Italy and France. That's just mad.

I only eat cheese with a strong taste of vomit from the finest cheesemongers. You can tell it is a fancy cheese if it tastes strongly of vomit.

Very definitely parmesan can have a honk of vomit if you pay attention to it. It's genuinely put me off dinner once or twice but I still love it.

I love parmesan but it is stinky when melted.

Experiments have shown that the smell of parmesan is indistinguishable to the smell of vomit if someone is blindfolded. (Parmesan tastes nice though imo, not vomitty.)

Cheese contains the same acid as vomit. The taste of it is often more pronounced in expensive cheese so that discerning consumers can feel good about having a "refined palette" when actually they're just eating something that tastes like vomit.

Sweet dreams are made of cheese, who am I to diss a brie?

I once was about to walk out of a restaurant in Amsterdam before we got seated, as we were sure someone had just puked and it wasn't cleaned up.

Waitress chased after us and explained that it was the fondu they were serving was creating the aroma.

Cheese in any or all of it's nasty incarnations is possibly the most vile culinary development in all of human history.
It's like arguing over which tastes better dog shít or cat shít.
