French Camembert Cheese Missing After Thanksgiving?

[business2319]

This is my favorite cheese, and USUALLY I have no trouble getting it at the local Publix Supermarket in Orlando, FL. But today, 11/25/11, the day after Thanksgiving, not only did NONE of the Publix stores here have any, even though French Brie is in superabundance, but neither did the competitor store Winn-Dixie, NOR the Whole Foods Store. Is Camembert the cheese of choice for Thanksgiving, has France stopped shipping it, or what??? I hope it is not the latter as if it is, then there is little hope a restocking time will fix it.

I'm just going to ask - did you actually ask any of the stores that you looked in? Maybe it was a popular cheese for the holiday and they were all sold out?

I asked in at least one store, and they were surprised they were out, so I don't think they know why. But all is not lost - here on Monday, the next "working" day, the Cheese is back! (Thank you, resupply truck.)

Maybe it was just especially popular in your area this year. Was there a recipe printed in the local paper? That could do it.

We enjoyed baked Camembert yesterday before our meal. France is still sendin' them over!

When I read the "headline" of your post, I thought you were trying to figure out who had absconded with your Camembert which gave me quite a chuckle. Sorry I can't answer your question.

yes I thought the cat or granny had made off with it!

I have seen them in S Fl so they made it south.

Well at a dinner party I gave a few months ago Dusty a sweet GDS was visiting with her human and made an entire log of goat cheese go missing in seconds. It's now a running joke with us months later.

So did I- I was all ready to be outraged right along with you.
