How to cut cheese and the French 'fromage' rules

[@scottg8883]

Florence is so charming and upbeat! What a breath of fresh air she is.

[@salamander981]

J`accord !!

[@vectoredthrust5214]

I love France 24's fluff pieces on France and French culture. They're really educational, and also I can't help but have a chuckle at how stereotypically French they can be. I never knew about the "not chopping off the nose" thing. Will keep that in mind next time I've got a wedge of brie

[@TheGameLecturer]

I'm french (and curious of how these "french connections" shows depict us) and I have to say, it's always very true but also very much on the posh side. I never even heard of this "not chopping off the nose" thing, most people don't strictly follow the etiquette rules.

[@shizukagozen777]

@@TheGameLecturer Same here, I've never heard about that rule. I'll keep chopping off that nose, I don't care ! 😅😂😂

[@kramerberbon1804]

Same here we don't care about that nose thing but it's still a bit complicated. You cut the nose 'cause it's more practical but then it's preferable to cut on the long side cause the end is not the best.

[@SpaceTravel1776]

So foreign news channels made for American audiences are usually “secretly” run by the country’s intelligence agency, like RT (Russia Times) is funded by and receives direction from the KGB. You think the case is the same here? With puff pieces like this, I certainly do.

[@russcattell955i]

Yes cheese is a national obsession here in France, when I tell people my job is cheese making I get the nod of approval even though I am British. I live in the Poitou-Charente region where goat's milk cheese is king. Even the school canteens serve a cheese course.

[@maud375]

Chabichou forever! ;)

[@joanlynch5271]

Do you put herbs in the cheese in France?

[@joelpineda4414]

And why do the French people eat cheese? Is it popular in the French and English culture?? So people can eat cheese everyday in France and England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇫🇷

I like French Connections. I really liked this show even though didn't think I was interested in cheese. Waiting for an episode on Salads & Vinaigrettes

[@lagnafirby4266]

now this is what I call Quality news and this is what's wrong with mass media today they don't want to report the news they want to be entertainment

[@LeeCameron]

its what the news business call a "feature." ok its not hard news. So all news services have "features". this lesson is free you - a tiny little troll

[@narata1541]

+Lagnaf Irby Most of France24's news is news. This is just a special they do every so often (in fact, I forget they do these because of all the news stories). If they played just news all the time, they would be as boring as you, and seemingly complaining at everything.

[@keithbrings9053]

Oh no we learned more about another culture, it's the worst.

[@airicaxoxo]

If nobody wants the rind, then I'd be happy to take it. I love the rind, especially on a camembert and brie. YUMMY!

[@joanlynch5271]

I hate it! You can have mine.

[@rivierarocket]

I cut the cheese at a French table and the room smelled for the rest of the evening. People were fleeing!

"American Graffiti"

[@jacquelinesmith6712]

I wish America could appreciate food like the French do. I've had experience with this with ma famille d'accuille (French for host family) who I stayed with in Grenoble and if there was anything that I would do to disrespect food manners she would mock me for it. That's how keen the French are with food manners and appreciation.

[@02touftouf]

J'adore ces petits passages sur la culture française :p

French cheese, the smellier the better, with a nice champagne

I was sad to hear about the explosion in the French cheese factory - the only thing left was debris (de brie)

How about one on the "Formule du Jour" for French Brasserie lunches. I'm always getting stumped!

I've been in France since more than 25 years and i love cheese! So i don't think it's in a gene.

[@Anon54387]

Cutting cheese is American slang for having flatulence, just so you know.

[@Dirt4Ride]

wish I have youngest lady's english level.. (french passing through)

[@RMess33]

Mmm j'ai toujours entendu dire que le roquefort se coupe à la verticale, pas en diagonale

[@raheelshafqat]

great..

[@Slarti]

My favourite is brebis or sheep's milk cheese.

[@joanlynch5271]

Yum!!

[@gregjohnson720]

Florence. Is it possible to get a copy of the poster showing how to cut the different types of cheese. Merci du Brésil

[@thebubbacontinuum2645]

I got some great tips on cutting cheese from a Bud Light commercial.

[@annov7500]

[@virginielorang-woodward7246]

Traditionally at the end of lunch and dinner

[@muerscasadasentijuanamuesa212]

Theres nothing better than mexica cheese queso fresco

[@yanamulyana3538]

Amazing...!

[@TheGameLecturer]

Don't eat the rind of any cheese. For instance eating the rind of a comté is the equivalent of eating the peel of your banana, it won't kill you but you just don't because it's not made to be eatable.

[@delphzouzou4520]

It is edible. That's the thing I prefer. But you're not obliged to eat it if you don't want.

[@virginielorang-woodward7246]

Not true, some cheeses have rinds that are made to be eaten. Camenbert, some goat cheeses etc....

[@DandyLion.Wishes]

Cut the cheese as quietly as possible and be the first to accuse someone else.

[@nibrahfaheem5661]

I want to ask Florence how many time France people it cheese each day

[@paulbourgeois2465]

hey! well depends on the french person but for me, well... lunch (gouter 4pm snack) and dinner, and just when I'm feelling to eat cheese so maybe too much x)

[@justineregnier4311]

definitely at diner and sometimes at lunch time (so at least 1 or 2 a day)

[@ChachouLP]

Nibras Faheem , at least two times a day maybe three it depends

[@velazquezarmouries]

you cut it with anything that haves an edge and however you want

[@nibrahfaheem5661]

In one day how many time France people eat cheese

[@ChachouLP]

Twice normally and the end of the lunch and the end of the dinner ... maybe before the dinner with an aperitif it depends

[@shanedavis9823]

The French wanted to show you how to cut the Cheese, but you can't say it stinks? Haha jokes on you.

[@fartwrangler]

A whole video on how to cut the cheese. Heh.

[@shizukagozen777]

The rind thing/rule isn't true though: if you don't like the rind, don't eat it. Period. No one will look down on you for that.

[@ella5024]

She's over there smoking with them, too.

[@trojanette8345]

Wow......the contaminatio!! It's a wonder that France or any other country for that matter would ever get by, selling to their own, much less exporting a food product that has had another person's mouth (2:31) on it, first. How does France get by on this?

[@k.v.7681]

Well they keep it going by exporting to other european countries, and producing small. Most of the times, we are talking about familly businesses with hard working people keeping tradition alive. That also explains why some cheeses can be quite expensive. Unpastorized milk is safe for most people, as long as you preserve the cold temperature from production to sale, and manipulate it in sterile environments. We don't serve it to small children. As for the man's mouth: it's on the outside of a greased cloth, so no need to worry.

[@kramerberbon1804]

I love cheese but I agree with that comment, it seems disgusting to have his mouth holding it! Why didn't he just use his hands? To show off on TV? Well that's a weird way to show off!
