Cheese With A "Kick" Coming From France

1919

Alcoholic Viands Considered for Shipment to U.S.

PARIS, France — Hail — alcoholic cheese! It is known of a truth that it is not proper for French importers to send any intoxicating liquors to the United States. But is there a law against exporting intoxicating foods? Mais non!

French wholesale dealers are turning their attention, therefore, to the cultivation of an American taste for vine-fed snails, canned bouillabaisse, melun, pont d'eveque, roblochon and other makes of cheese that has a kick to it, and foisse, the delicious short bread in Aveyron and the Pyrenees, of whole meal grain, eggs, cognac and unfermented wine.

Garcon! Some foisse and bouillabaisse, and have some yourself.
