Have you noticed that the Americans have very few regional cheeses? Standard lists of their cheeses rather desperately include things like "Swiss cheese" and "cream cheese". Some States don't produce any cheeses at all ,most production being centred on Wisconsin and California.For a highly materialist country with so much regional music etc, this is a bit disconcerting .
Au contraire, Charles de Gaulle complained of France "How can you govern a country with 246 varieties of cheese?" There is a political dimension to cheese.

how do you handle a angry welsh cheese? - Caerphilly of course
DBC Reed, they probably comsider that as most of the regional music is cheesy enough, they do not need to add to the misery.
