UK cheeses miss out on international prize after getting stuck in customs

That. Is. A. Disgrace.

It really is a disgrace and I feel desperately sorry for both the producers and for other cheese mongers who might have picked up extra business, should these cheeses to have won official recognition.

The report doesn't finger the customs issue but the root cause is evident. Fucking stupidity on a national scale.

More broadly, I miss English and Scots cheeses, which can no longer be had for love nor money on the mainland. Kerrygold cheddar just ain't the same.
