Opel Fruit<P><BR>Opel Fruit, Dept. 53<P> Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Plenty of similar products....look in the cheese fridge, or like previous said, La Vache qui Rit is close or Super-U own brand "Fromage Fondu" with the pup on the lid is very good.

Junlesley Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 we have always bought the "laughing cow cheese spreads" and i've only just noticed reading your replies the real name is "La vache quirit" you learn somthing new every day and yes it is just like Dairylea.June (Vinderfontaine 50) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Yup, the cow who laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Love Laughing Cow and tomato sandwiches but my daughter won't go near the stuff after seeing how it is made and it put her off for life. Best not to ask,just enjoy. When I am feeling naughty I take one and eat it whole because when we were young,we had to share a Dairylea with a sibling and could only have it on bread as they were quite expensive to buy back then. Do you remember Primula spread too, especially the prawn one and the tomato flavours? Is that still around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I'm not keen on them on bread but love having the odd triangle straight from the fridge when the mood takes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamedup Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Soap, well you're right I'd rather eat soap than reblochon or munster, funny old world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chauffour Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 moving to France and missing Dairylea...????is like escaping from Siberia and then miss the cold!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryansmith Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 jayjayI have noticed this effect before when you have posted.you are using quite a large font - could this be the cause?back to the threadVache Qui Rit is a more than tasty cheese spread if that is what you are missing - but as others have said do try some of the many other cheeses as well.

Mayennaise Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 I may have moved to France and love all things French but that doesn't mean that I don't yearn for the odd British foodstuff once in a while. I have tried many French cheeses and some are yummy and others don't bear thinking about, particularly the ones that looked like they have been rolled in the fluff that lives under the bed!!!!! - a bit like British cheese I suppose!! Anyway - doesn't Britain produce more types of cheese than France?No doubt that are a few French men in Britian that hanker after that revolting bright green drink that tastes like mouthwash!!

SaligoBay Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 France is a country of 250 different cheeses.If not more. And what luck that Vache Qui Rit is one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Has anyone seen or know if you can get cottage cheese in France?( Bryan, smaller font this time, let's see!)jayjay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chauffour Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 according to my DK French Cheeses book, there are 350 different cheeses......still, they haven't managed to create something as good as Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino Romano!!!viva l'Italia!

cary Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Also love the "apericubes". Little cubes served with aperitifs of different flavoured laughing cow cheeses. Onion, tomato, ham, pepper, paprika, blue cheese etc. Anyone else been given these at a french friends house whilst having a little apertif? They are lovely.

bryansmith Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 jayjaysmaller font does not seem to have solved anything. Not only your posts but any that follow yours are similarly affected. The text on your postings only reaches half way across the column and not to the edge. Is there anything in your set up which may cause this?

JayJay Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Love Apericubes, we put them over our salads, instead of feta!Bryan, i've posted without changing anything, also tried changing fonts & sizing & colour (selecting a colour doesn't register!) But my postings still distort & distort any after mine. The only thing i've noticed is that, where it says IP logged under everyones name, mine doesn't. It's pushed over towards the right. I'm pretty dense when it comes to computers anyway but can't understand why it happens when i don't change or select anything!Sorry folks!!! jayjay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 [quote]You may as well eat soap! France is a country of 250 different cheeses. Live a little.[/quote]Quite agree Logan!!In UK my kids never ate Dairylea, it made them heave at the mere sight of it. On holidays with their French grandparents, they astonished them by refusing to eat 'Vache qui rit' but never said no to a good chunk of Munster, Reblochon, Tome de Savoie, Roquefort, St Agur, Bleu d'Auvergne, Fourme d'Ambert, St Nectaire, Soignon, Ste Maure, Cabicou, Brie de Meaux, Livarot etc...Just good milk for a good dose of calcium that is all that is needed.None of that emulsifier, flavour enhancer, added vitamin, E-rubbish etc...stuff injected in that measly little triangle!!
