This is a real shame, my favorite cheese being banned by some ignorant federal letter agency.

An FDA crackdown on the import of the French cheese mimolette has foodies crying foul. “Isigny was alerted by importers that the cheese was being put on “FDA hold,” meaning it could not be moved from its arrival warehouse until further inspection.

Just like any other corrupt third-world bureaucracy, the FDA requires tribute before it will allow you to conduct your business.

You have to be pretty sophisticated to eat cheese with bugs!

You can tell your country is officially effed up when common sense has declined to the point where you have less than the French. ;)

I wonder if the FDA has figured out that honey is bee barf?

Got to remember that there is a cheese that is based on a blue mold, called blue cheese.
