Eat cheese



A square of homemade banana cake and McCafe coffee for breakfast many mornings is so satisfying, a small pleasure.  The grocery store sells McCafe coffee.

I came upon this article that says cheese sales have been down 60% in France since the start of the pandemic.  They are pleading with people to buy cheese as there will be a lot of wastage.  Rich cheeses such as brie and camembert and in fact 80% of most cheeses have an 8 week shelf life.  Even french fries in Belgium have not been selling.  It seems the increase in  home cooking, less eating out and less accessible farmers markets are to blame.  This problem also applies to Canada.

And here we are at the end of May.

Your breakfast looks good. I'm not to blame for selling less cheese, I eat a lot and enjoy it! Hugs, Valerie

Oh I never heard that Christine! We eat lots of cheese, store-bought mostly these days. I've heard that milk sales are down too. Your treat looks delicious!

I didn't know that cheese has an 8 week shelf life. I better discard mine, then. Your banana cake looks delicious.

that's interesting i had never thought about how long cheese can last and how much must be going to waste.

I imagine sales are down on many things. They should reduce the prices drastically on whatever needs to be sold before it spoils.
