Between sandwiches and cooking, I probably go through a big block a week. So what’s that about 500g?
That puts me close enough on the average there.
But in truth, that’s between me and the wife, not me alone.
So should that be halfed?
Are some of you mad bastards eating over 1-2kg of cheese a week all by yourselves?
22.5 kg per capita? Isn’t that like half a kilo of cheese per person per week?
That map is a load of bollocks. There is no way we eat 4 times more cheese than the Brits
I live in Vietnam and roughly calculating. I think I eat about 5% of the local supermarkets supply.
2 blocks a week.
Child’s play.
3 on a heavy week.
Fair play.
You have to find the balance.
2.5 is mine.
Not factoring in anything I eat in a restaurant or have delivered.
Eg.
I’ll have the salad please covered in your choice of grated cheese etc.
Anyway. If I was home for the last few years I may have helped bump up the figures.
Sorry about that.
Let’s stand together.
We have a right to gorge on cheese regardless of potential health issues.
It’s just too bloody delicious and both you and I know it.
I eat about a 450g block every two weeks, sometimes more.
That UK figure is nonsense, they eat it like we do.
I’ve never been more proud to be Irish 🥲
That’s a Gouda study
But I don’t give edam
I think this is BS. Unless there are a lot of people eating the unending range of boring cheddar/Gouda varieties as a meat substitute. Ireland generally has a poor cheese culture. Yes, there are some awesome delicious cheeses but they are special occasion products and not the stuff you would but on a sandwich or in a sauce.
I find it hard to believe the Irish eat more cheese than the Dutch. Broodje kaas is almost compulsory for lunch there.
The funny part is Ireland mostly consumes two types of cheddar red & white (granted like people they come in grades of maturity). However…..red cheddar is just white cheddar with red food colouring (Annatto) added.
This is gouda to know.
^((Sorry))
How tf is the UK so low… I need to do my part to pick up the slack, clearly
My dad’s a kerryman, my sister caught him eating an entire block of cheese. She asked him what the hell he was doing, it’s not healthy to do that in your twenties, let alone your 70s, apparently he thought it was fine, because ” calcium is good for you” then again, this is the same man who sneaks downstairs in the middle of the night to eat straight from the honey jar
I live in France and I can’t understand how this could be true. They are obsessed with cheese here. You can’t go into a shop without seeing walls of the stuff, of every imaginable variety.
All I can think is that we just eat a fucktonne of cheddar? Does that somehow outweigh all the cheese in France??

Oh I do love a bit of cheese
Basically if it’s dairy, hook it into our veins.
For anyone wondering how this could be true:
You can read the OP’s galaxy-brain explanation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/13oo5nw/how_much_cheese_do_people_in_europe_consume/jl5bsk9/
Cheesus Christ! That’s about 1/4 of an average Irish man
Believable. I do add cheese to most things
Because we have class dairy and they just think they do
Charlie Kelly, king of the Irish
Ireland does have some of the best cheese/dairy products arguably in the whole world I’d say
It’s my fault for such a high figure, and I will not stop.
Yah, I eat the vintage Cheddar in quantities.
