Its all the fault of brexit.

I'm all for designation of origin.

Without it, Oirish cheddar would be allowed to go on sale as Cheddar and I would have no way of distinguishing the genuine article from a low quality, culturally appropriated interloper.

Apart from looking at the packaging.

Apart from looking at the packaging.

Oh yes, of course.

Silly old me.

Just like the chicken that comes from Thailand but is packed in the UK and sold as British chicken

Because we are now not importing enough cheddar from ireland.

I am so confused.


Humble block of cheddar cheese amongst Brexit's first victims - FarmIreland.ie

Perhaps they can try exporting it to the US, it might make a nice change for the Yanks to eat some real cheese, the stuff they have over there is absolutely rank awful.
Anyway, how bloody dare the Paddies call their cheese "cheddar"? If it doesn't come from Cheddar, don't call it cheddar.

They don't have a problem labelling Irish cheddar as such especially when one variety is Irish cheddar.

But it does mean we can start making Champagne and selling it to the rest of the world.

Australia did this, and France complained. Australia said "So invade".
