What's people's thoughts on the potential impact of a flood of eastern European cheeses being imported.

Has anyone tried a Romanian or Polish cheese....

I have, it was happy to be cooked for long hours in any dish at a low cost but it meant I wasn’t able to use a local cheese in a traditional role.

Not sure about the cheese but there’s a Polish restaurant in town. Yummy food, but huge portions and always the danger of a hangover

Big difference in Dublin is the lack of all my staple cheese options, Irish Cheddar (really?) and mainly Dutch hard cheeses seem to be the norm here. However there is a specialist cheesemongers opposite the office which I need to try

Today I realised what all this is about.
Train was late
Another train pulls in
Both trains eject about 25 people who politely wait for the bus
Bus is late
Bus turns up but can’t pull in as there is a parked car
Bus stops at end of que which is about 60 people
Everyone waits until the front of the que walks up to the front of the bus and gets on

WE ARE BRITISH!

This would happen nowhere else in the civilised world

Remainers rejoice.
The coup is almost complete.

On Monday the lying, deceitful, incompetent scumbag of “ 108 we are leaving on 29thMarch” statements UTURNED and offered “to request a short extension to Article 50, thereby delaying Brexit a few months”

Last night and little reported......

Under the threat of another immediate revolt, former Tory ministers Nick Boles and Sir Oliver Letwin forced Mrs May’s de facto deputy David Lidington to agree a Commons veto on the length of any Article 50 extension.

Any extension has to be approved by Europe but they don’t want the UK to leave so will of course grant any extension........

So there you have it.......short delay b*llshit, long/will never happen in reality.

If May was a cheese, her packaging would be dowdy, unattractive, awkward, misleading and state “Made in Brussels”.
The cheese itself would be dark brown in colour with a rather alarming odour....the flavour of which would be completely different to that described on the packaging ........it would be of soft, sludgy consistency, full of holes, have a hint of red wine (tribute to Juncker) and leave a rather nasty taste in ones mouth.
Consumers trying to claim on the “satisfaction guaranteed or your money back” clause via the 108108 hotline would discover that although Mays cheese said that, she did not in fact really mean it. They would instead be invited to try it again and again and again and again and again.....


Cleverly “the best before or sell by date” would magically extend itself as required in your fridge using packaging technology yet to be invented........

Quite,
Thread drift!

Anyway getting back to cheese, what sort of cheese is the kraft sliced cheese made of? Being a plastic texture I'm thinking north Sea crude....

QI Klaxon: Officially not cheese according to the FDA rules so even the Septic's can't say it is cheese! It apparently does contain most of the things you find in cheddar but as it is not made and then sliced off a block but actually formed in those plastic films it falls under a synthesised product!

And tastes like synthesised product, pretty sure the wrapping is more flavoursome
