Everyone knows France is renown for its wine and cheese. It is not true that wine comes out of the taps here instead of water. But it is true that the wine is very good and very inexpensive. On the other hand, the cheese is not. But let me be clear: the cheese is good, it's just not inexpensive. Take the parmesan in the picture. If you can do the math and conversion yourself, great, if not here ya go: 30 euros per Kilogram (kg). With the current conversion rate that's about $45/kg. There's about two pounds in one kg. So the cost of one pound of this luscious stuff: $22. Wow! Don't get me wrong, it is delicious, and it's hand made locally and all that, but... Wow!
