Quebec’s L’Extra Camembert won the coveted ‘Best of Class’ award in the camembert category at the 2018 World Championship Cheese Contest in Madison, Wisconsin, USA
The news from the world cup of cheese
Has caused the poor French some unease
As Canada’s where
You’ll find Camembert
With a flavour that’s certain to please.

What do you call cheese that isn’t yours? Nacho cheese
I had to think Caerphilly before I got that.*
*not really. It’s a truly terrible joke.
wouldn’t say it’s a *terrible* joke; small bit cheesy, maybe
I genuinely hate punning but I’m going to give it a bash.
It’s edam fine joke: I’m sorry for being rude, Janet.
Very gouda.
I prefer the word assertive to rude to describe you my feisty internet Andy
You’re too kind. Erm, too cheddary jarlsberg erm pfffft delice de bourgogne. I can’t pun it. I give up.
ah, don’t brie so hard on yourself andy, you’re great at puns, in your own whey..
I need a professional opinion on this, wheres Bertie? ….come on Bert!
This Bertie?
How may I help you…?
You could whey in on this discussion :)

I’ll get me goat
Tell you what though, punning aside, I love a good stinky Camembert. Which is weird, because my most favouritest cheese is La Vache Qui Rit.
for the benefit of the thicks, that’s laughing cow
La Vaca Que Rica. I’ve followed it across many countries.
Yummy creamy goodness. I think the ladies in the audience know what I’m talking about.
mash it up with mackerel( or tuna) and fresh fennel, pinch of cumin to make a quick apero dip
Crikey! That sounds lovely.
Comte
on just baked French bread with strawberry jam
when purchased + eaten in Brittany or Normandy
Yum. Comté is a fine chiz.
I’d differ on the jam. I say no to strawberry: raspberry, gooseberry or if I’m feeling frisky, FIG.
Comté’s my favourite cheese of all. By far. I once mentioned this to a French guy I met on a train – more to stop him talking about Vietnam – and he looked aghast. Said, “people from Eastern France are pieces of fupping sheeet”. I assumed he meant Comté, too.
Oh I miss home
sheeeeet
:)
how’s it going for you, Janet? still glad to be back?
Ah fish out a water sometimes but
overall positive
heading “home” this weekend for two weeks for some general mayhem
What could go wrong…..
Many, many things Janet.
MANY THINGS.
fingers crossed
whoop whoop
gets metro elbows and fasic up and ready for action
Well, yeah. Comté’s great ‘n’ all, but it’s no Laughing Cow.
All about a ripe oozing goat with fresh fig, honey and a fine medoc
cram all into gob at once for maximum pleasure
goat cheese, surely, janet?
smarty pants
come mere te Me, let’s talk hard cheese for a minute
i would only ever talk hard cheese. i dislike soft cheese. and feta… can’t imagine how anyone ever thought that was a good idea. I dislike manchego too (but I like how annoyed the spanish get when you say that)
noy even a good burrata?
absolutely noy, because i don’t like cream
i do, though, like mozzarella – is that a soft cheese? if so, i’ve obviously been talking b0ll0x all this time
right outa your hoop rude boy
:)
O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis
Oh, hang on. You said burrata. Not Burana.
I don’t really like cheese.
There. Said it. Hate me if you want.
I never could.
NEVER.
nobodies perfect
Just don’t make me glad bag it in the fridge
that’s what the fridge is supposed to smell like
# crimesagaintcheese
DOUBLE glad-bag it. I fupping HATE that smell.
#CrimeAgainstMyNose
All dairy or just cheese?
I bet she wobbles on clotted cream
It looks like it won that prize already in 2010, according to the sticker in the pic……? Non?
Not madly shocking that it might win it again.
