Tarver obviously has a shopping problem since last time I was at the supermarket in the US (last night) there was plenty of cheese from France. Now tracking down a decent mature farmhouse cheddar is a real challenge! Peter Kemp |

I have to say, the White Star I bought for my friends at New Years is much better. Not being able to buy French cheese is a cruel and unusual punishment...

There certainly have been enough Frenchmen caught at it lately. |
