Coco Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 How much would you expect to pay for this in the UK?Before we left I used to pay about 8 a pound for a particularly nice unpasteurised one in Waitrose. My mum thinks she used to pay somewhere between 6 and 6.50 a pound for the ordinary stuff.Our local Champion has just started stocking a really nice mature Somerset Cheddar and of course I was expecting to pay a premium for this "exotic" produce. However, it is 15.50 a kilo, which works out at somewhere between 4.70 and 5 a pound, depending on which rate you use. Can it really be CHEAPER here in France than in the UK? In which case, it really IS rip off Britain!!Coco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 Well, I thought they were getting a bit carried away with the Cheddar. Today they have parmesan - and not the sawdust in little foil packets. Perhaps they've got a new cheese buyer - still, I'm not complaining! I even saw some epoisses today as well!!!Coco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
