8. FRENCH CHEESE
If French cheese for you just means brie, camembert, roquefort and the \”stuff that looks like cheddar or gouda\” in the local supermarché when you\’re on holiday, then you don\’t know what you\’re missing!

Back in the time of General de Gaulle, France had 246 cheeses – and it has quite a few more than that now, given the large number of new products, inventions or copies of traditional cheeses, that have emerged from France\’s hundreds of dairy companies in the past 20 years.
This guide is not by any means a comprehensive listing of all the products that France can offer to deck a well-garnished cheese-board. It is a look at some of the most common, and the most tasty.

Hot chocolate spread from the nobility to society in the
1660s, when the first \”chocolate house\” was opened in London and it became possible for the everyman to partake in the fun. Since then, we have seen many different manifestations and variations of this comforting brew. Just remember, never feel guilty when you are indulging in a cup because hot chocolate was used to treat liver and stomach problems up until the 19th century!
