No such thing - Camembert is origin protected....which BTW under EU regs Stilton no longer is so it can be copied throughout the world. It is also symptomatic that Brexiteers know so little about "the good things in life". Your comment about British cheeses just shows how little you know about world cheeses and the varieties available - bet you don't even know where Cheddar is. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camembert isnt protect and can be made anywhere , although the name camembert de Normandie is protected Can camembert cheese only be made in Normandy? B.W. Answer No… it can be made anywhere since production of camembert-style cheeses was widespread long before France created its appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) protection label, or the EU its equivalent appellation d’origine protégée. https://www.connexionfrance.com/article/Mag/Food-and-Drink/Can-camembert-be-made-in-other-places-or-only-Normandy 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmjl Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 As I understand it,Europe have been charging the UK an export tax since Brexit,the useless UK government should have imposed the import duties at the same time,they didn't because they couldn't get their act together(what's new),today the news is full of UK farmers going to go bust because they no longer get subsidies from the corrupt EU and before the remoaners start agreeing with that-where the heck do you think the money for the subsidies came from in the first place,it came from the British tax payer,paid into the grasping hands of the corrupt regime known as the EU who then doled out a small amount back to the UK as various subsidies the rest went to feather the nests of all the politicians and their hangers on in Brussels and Strasbourg. Please also note that the Brexit that was voted for has not yet been implemented and I doubt it ever will be, so those remoaners who keep blaming Brexit for all the ills in the UK need to first check their facts,it would help if those who are supposedly in charge knew how to balance the books(never mind cook them). 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chomper Higgot Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Just now, transam said: No, those are American cheeses, I say cheeses reluctantly........🤨 Oddly I’m referring to British cheeses I’ve bought in the UK including directly at the creamery where some of them were made; two of which I visited during my last visit to the UK. I love cheese, I’m always on the lookout for good cheeses and I’m a big fan of some of the excellent, world class even, cheeses that are produced in the UK. I’m quite certain that when I refer to British cheese, I am referring to British cheese. So much so that so brought 10kg of English cheese back with me from my last trip. You should make a trip to the UK yourself, you’ll find some great cheeses available; and when you’ve tried those you’ll more readily spot the rat trap cheeses that are also produced in the UK. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as I spent a great deal of my life in England I am fully aware of what's on offer, though whilst there, my favourite was Canadian Cheddar, though British Blue cheese is a close second.......

You of course know what was on offer when you were last there, however, the craft cheese market has changed dramatically in recent years and was up until Brexit doing really well, refer linked article in my last post.

I’m sure it’s wonderful, but watching a video doesn’t come close to visiting a creamery, seeing their cheeses being made, tasting their products and buying the ones you like best. All this talk of cheese has got me peckish, I’ve just cut myself a piece of 3 year old Cornish Cruncher, which I’m about to enjoy with M&S Black Olive crackers and some home made Greengage Jam - A video could not do it justice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not really. I'm joking. I guess you were joking too, when you suggested someone's knowledge and preference for cheese is in some way connected to a vote. I know people that don't like cheese. Not sure how they voted in the referendum though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the response I expected. However, you are correct. I am quite capable of doing some research. That research offered the following when I searched for the phrase, "Brexit benefits" (other results are variations on a theme): https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/article/explainer/what-benefits-brexit-does-government-claim https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/feb/04/brexit-trade-perks-firms-business-department-leaving-eu-companies Imo calling the benefits, "all a bit marginal" is being generous. All a bit pitiful is closer to the truth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
