Everyone say "Cheese"



Everyone say "Cheese!" Ever heard of the phrase “The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese?” Of the three major colonizers who vied for control of North America from the 15th to 17th centuries, it was the early-bird Spanish who got the worm, but after all was said and done, it was England who got the more desirable cheese. France is home to an astonishing 600 different types of cheese. The French didn’t even invent cheese yet no other nation can lay claim to such an impressive and vast array of delicate and unique examples of cheese. French cuisine is a growing trade and although you come across very few French restaurants in this country like you do with Italian or Chinese ones, they are set to become more and more popular in countries abroad such as Britain. The French do not like to boast about their admirable culinary talents. Their polished gateau’s, impeccable cassoulets, and flawless beef bourginions go uncomplimented but thoroughly enjoyed.
