246 varieties - he must have been trying to out do Heinz

[Digga]

My French is shameful, but my (no Google translate assistance) grasp of it say: "how do you govern a country with 246 types of cheese?"

Which is very, very amusing. A wonderful quote, not one I'd heard before.

According to Google.

750 cheeses in the UK
400 in France.

Clearly some correlation neither is currently governable it seems, wondering what the cheese threshold is?

Depends on the location, and what you make the cheese out of. Venezuelan Beaver Cheese is a prime example.

OK but there's more to be said and eaten for a piece of cakes

Indeed.

I am a huge cheese fan, but there is no way we have more types of cheese than France.

The language used in that article is very precise.

The UK May produce 750 different cheeses, but how many are cheddar, for example?

France produces many more varieties than the UK.

Find a source that says otherwise then.

To be fair, Red Leicester should be counted as a "minus" 1 for the UK

As Charles de Gaulle famously said. - Comment voulez-vous gouverner un pays qui a deux cent quarante-six variétés de fromage?

It would have no doubt annoyed him to be told that the UK has more varieties of cheese than France.

Having scrolled through the rest of the thread, I see I'm not alone in my national cheese pride.

P.s. Macron's lack of eclat can be addressed for a few thousand in the Lotus pages of Pistonheads' classified ads, though it's debatable whether it's easier to get a Lotus working or a French striker.
