My step daughter and her son flew out from Perpignan a few days ago and the security people confiscated a pack of goat cheese but allowed a pack of Camembert.
Any one any thoughts as to why the one was allowed through and not the other?
I can only think the officer preferred, or forgot to buy, goats cheese!
This, as you will realise, was in hand luggage.

I vaguely remember reading a couple of years ago that someone flying from France had their "soft" goat cheese confiscated as it was classed as a liquid and it was over 100mls or grams whatever way they determined it.

Thanks for that.
It was within the weight and one of those tube-shaped cheeses.
I can't see the difference (apart from the obvious!) as to why one should have been banned as, in my opinion, the consistency of the 2 are similar.

I'm wondering if any research has been done regarding the comparative explosive properties of different cheeses.....in particular goat's cheese v camembert. It would make a great project for a Master's in Nutrition Sciences. Folk have Master's degrees in all sorts these days......

Both cheeses would make quite a Baaaaang!!!

Maybe ewe didn't get that.

Well done, incrediBILLY good.

Sounds like she was fleeced but it is a very woolly subject. Sorry I may have milked it a little.

Bet he's feeling a bit sheepish now.

What did the French customs officer at Perpignan airport say when he tried to get a grizzly off the plane?
"Camembert!"

Oh dear, you mutton do that!!

Thank goodness there's been no jokes about Welshmen and sheep

These poor people are sitting at home, crying over their lost cheese, and all you lot can do is have a goat them?

Thanks everyone.
I knew I could rely on ewe all!!

We musn't LAMBast the official he was only doing his job.

I think that we are uNANNYmous in saying that

Maybe he was a wolf in sheep's' clothing, but to go-at it!

Or maybe he was just KIDding
