When I moved back to my hometown in the 1980s I would go across the border to a farm in Oregon where the farmer sold raw milk, creme and butter. Great stuff. Washington got anal about that stuff. Also recall my TTC in Biarritz where every morning there was a platter stacked high with croissants and tasty Laughing Cow creme cheese. When I got back I bought some of that brand creme cheese and the US version was lousy.
