We are entirely shunning obvious French produce. Chilean wine is a first class alternative to French/Italian wines. Mild Cheddar is an excellent cheese as is Double Gloucester. The only one we can't avoid is Polish produce, specifically mustard and sour cucumbers.
It won't be long before British hams appear in "Prosciutto" form and somebody finds a way to make a Port Salut cheese replacement. I'm not sure about Gouda cheese equivalent, though; if the Netherlands demonstrates resistance to the EC, I might continue with Gouda.
I wish a real pox and the EC and the likes of the French government and my shopping choices are the only weapon that I have.
As to Covid, I'm getting worried about the second jab stocks; is the government telling the truth that AZ stocks are/will be sufficient to cover all 2nd dose obligations within the 12 weeks?

These countries have actually prevented vaccine exports to the UK whilst the EU hasn't and has sent us 21m doses.
