I'm used to the wine about the airline's financial underperformance, but this cheese really takes the cake
Maybe he was thinking of a wine and cheese party?
As it happens, some fine cheeses come from both the UK and France but whether a Stilton is better than a Camembert is clearly a matter of personal taste. Naturally, either would be preferable to Kraft's 'Easy Cheese', which tends to be, er, all fluff and no substance.
On your last point:
if you don't have anything meaningful to say, don't say anything at all
Wise counsel indeed.
