| Canada 'Cheese-Smugglers' Busted I am reminded that, several years ago, Canada went on a drive to end cheese smuggling. This led to all sorts of strange ideas in my head and I wrote a little rant about the matter. Obviously, these would be the serious cheeses, the equivalent of hard drugs. Interestingly, when it comes to cheeses, the hard cheeses are actually soft and the soft cheeses are the nasty, hard ones. Things like Limburger, Roquefort, Brie and Stilton - these are the ones the Canadians are after, surely. Come to think of it, they are probably trying to make the country odour-free. No more sniffing those cheeses or, God forbid, lighting one up! I think it's worst when they push it on the kids with things like cheese straws and cheese puffs. Oh sure, it's "only" processed cheese or cheddar but this is the thin edge of the wedge. Before you know what's happened, your teenagers are sneaking off at night to indulge in Gorgonzola orgies and Camembert capers. None of this innocent "Oh, I'll just have a slice of mild Wensleydale, thanks" like we used to do. No wonder the Canadians are so vigilant! Come to think of it, cheese is legal in Holland, I hear. One can only imagine the dreadful effect that must be having on the populace. All that Gouda openly consumed in the streets, the red peel littering public places. Word count: 232 |
