As I posted a while back with regard to hapless Horwich and their Macron stadium, one anagram of Macron happens to be Nomarc.

Maybe it is we, the English, who are the Cheese-eating Surrender-monkeys, after all?

[ClaretLoup]

None of them can come near Dewlay's Lancashire crumbly

If only Dairylea cheese triangles had of beaten them as well

Cheddar the best cheese? Presumably the judges were lacking taste buds.

No body in a ditch then ?

Snotty French cheeses have never come close to English cheese.

[HollandsPies]

I think anything to do with France and the French is overrated. Full stop.

Apart perhaps from the women, Pies, surely?

Their vin rouge c'est magnifique.

The Eiffel Tower is a poor mans Blackpool tower the Arc de Triumph is but a garden shed compared to the Culvert.

If your experience is so narrow or your palate so unsophisticated that you just regard all "cheddar" as one because you've only ever had it from Asda, that might be a reasonable remark. There are many fantastic cheeses of very different tastes and a really good Cheddar us one of them.

I’ve had plenty of different cheddars, none of them would come close to a good Brie or some blue cheese. I didn’t really expect to be pilloried for not liking the same cheese as you!

You having pilloried the judges, I'm not sure you could complain but I wasn't pillorying you; I meant "you" in the sense of "anyone" rather than you in particular. I haven't tasted the specific cheeses in question and wouldn't say cheddars in general are my favourite cheese - but a sharp, fresh cheddar is a wonderful food. It is diminished somewhat by just how much generic and not outstanding cheddar we eat - that's all I was saying.

And what the hell are French Fries compared to our Chips........And then there's Cheesy Chips.
