Hello! In any discussion of French cheese, it is impossible to avoid that exasperated question from President De Gaulle "how can you govern a country that has more than 246 varieties of cheese?" I'm Thom Ntinas and this is The Delicious Legacy Podcast! This week, continuing our adventure with Ned, we taste and explore through the cheeses some forgotten corners of France and French history for that matter.
