So what cheeses are we supposed to boycott? Got lots of local cheddar stored.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Vespas aren’t just made in Italy any more anyway. many of them are made in Vietnam, Taiwan, India, etc. - even for the US market. Same low quality, just now made in Asia. Possibly slightly less chance of electrical fires.

Oh no, this could hurt. Not chocolate. America can barely make good chocolate.

Agreed.
Ok I can live without European chocolate, but not without Parmigiano-Reggiano. There is no substitute!

Given what I already pay for Roquefort, a little more pain for the cause is okay.
To: Covenantor
Vespa never made that - it’s a modification done by the French.

First off, the Europeans have a distinct shortage of foods right now. Too cool and too much rain and flooding. They are importing and paying triple the usual prices, so stock up now on whatever you want to use.
Secondly, I wish that the USA would do something to stop those hormone injections myself. I don’t want to eat food that has been injected with that or antibiotics either.
If that was done - problem solved, and no trade war.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
I’m sure us Trump supporters will just love those skyrocketing food prices at our grocery stores.
Why can’t he just target European beef for the time being?
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Just ban European beef. Easy-peasy. Anything beyond that is a trade war.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Oh no, tariffs on Euro cheese? No doubt the Europeans will immediately slap big tariffs on our moose exports! It’s war!
