“The World Trade Organization authorized the U.S. and Canada
to levy duties on $116.8 million of European imports including Roquefort, textiles and truffles after the EU failed to lift a moratorium on beef from hormone-treated animals. The WTO allowed the retaliation since the EU hadn’t scientifically proved that the beef posed a cancer risk for consumers.”
Yes, I’m VERY worried about next year’s white truffle prices.
Is this Roquefort ban some kind of parting gift from Bush? Hopefully fixing this rip in the fragile thread of international relations will be one of Obama’s top priorities.
I bet BRG has put those two QOTD on her resume. People will get a kick out of that like when they read “Enjoy water sports” in people’s Other Interests section.
Dave has an unfair advantage. He has a Bloomberg monitor!
THL, can you host the next party, please?

The cheese shops better watch out. They’re prime targets for thieves. In Park Slope especially!

What’s the phrase I’m looking for?
Ah yes, “It is easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle, than to catch BRG on a really good day.”
“I see BRG is gunning for SOTD.”
And DIBS for BRG. Could we complete the circle?
