I thought they ate tons of CHEESE......................
Yeah, so much in fact, they named their emperors after it -- Julius Cheeser, Cheeser Augustus, I'll stop now.
I listened to a couple of English tourists (who'd not met before) discuss the real origin of cheddar, and how it was illegal (not here, obviously) to sell cheese as cheddar unless it came from the right place. I wanted to ask, which one of you is Wensleydale? But I held off.
