Yeah, we got taken there in year 6, I think.

We only saw two of the exhibits, which must have been really boring because I don't remember anything about them.

Cheese is one of the few subjects I have to be careful with around my students because the French ones particularly see British Cheese as a very funny two word joke, mainly because the only British cheeses generally available here are dogshit bright orange American style cheddars and also the French absolutely huff their own farts due to decades of the rest of the world fawning over their cuisine. I have been visibly irritated while having to defend our cheese producing credentials, which I would argue are at least as good if not better than anywhere else in the world.

There's many things wrong with the UK but the fact you can go into any medium sized supermarket and get a respectable selection of British and also European cheeses is a very good thing. Funny how we can be so racist yet also extremely receptive to adopting foreign tastes and flavours

I lived in France for two years and one thing that came up time and time and time again was how the French were overly proud of their own food yet similarly ignorant of everything beyond their own borders.

I remember some conversations such as these:

:france: You're eating cheese!!! :aaa:
:britain: Yes?
:france: :aaaa:
:britain: We have cheese too.
:france: Yeah but not good cheese like we do :smuggo:


-----

:france: They're making a Roquefort sauce in the kitchen..........do you know what Roquefort is?


-----

From a couple I was carsharing with who were coming back from a week in Barcelona

:france: Yeah, it was great, we really didn't expect to find any good food outside of France


I think I ended up leaving with less tolerance than when I arrived.

I
have no idea how there aren’t any British “regional protected” cheeses like there are for many foods in other European countries, which also leads to American Cheddar representing us abroad.

Oh there are. Stilton can only be made in Leicestershire, Derbyshire or Nottinghamshire.

Stilton is amazing.

Seemingly in an empty bedroom. Went in and there was about 20 moths just kicking about. Can see no evidence of damage on any clothes in the cupboard or owt. Absolutely bizarre.

It's possible to get pantry moths in clothes too, I guess. They usually lay their eggs in dried food like pasta and rice.

If they're about 1cm long and relatively thin then that's probably what they are. You can buy traps that have sticky parts laced with pheremones, that usually gets rid of them within a week or so.
