As a person from euro it is disappointing how a G7 country can get such a simple to make product so spectacularly wrong and expensive. I’ve largely given up buying cheese in Canada. It’s just not affordable. $16 for barely a kilo of macro label plastic crap from Kraft? ‘Sale’ price cheese that’s the same ‘just about barely reasonable price’ as it was 4 years ago?
$4.99 for a lb of flavourless butter? Excuse me? I wanting to buy a block of cheese shopkeep, not phuqqing platinum.
Euro butter is incredible, French President butter is sublime. Good luck finding it here though, butter has an import ‘fine’ of 298% (lets not be precious, a tariff at 300% is just a cute way of keeping out imports) .
IIRC cheese is similar, there’s also stiff penalties on eggs, chicken.
You can play an eye opening game next time you’re at Safeway or loblaws. Take a look at the import cheese museum area, and look at the shelf labels priced per 100g. The record I’ve seen is $85 a Kg, some French import blue cheese. The pack dimensions you coulda measured in Plahnk lengths.
It’s either that or one is shelling out a mortgage payment for a morsel with a higher mass than a teaspoon of neutrinos.
