The moment I was won over by the French:

I was taking the Eurostar back to Paris from London, and had bought a charcuterie thing at st. pancras. I had the unopened cheese packet in my bag, and the French customs guy said "Who brings cheese into France? Turns it around to look at the label, laughs, and puts it back.

I asked if he had to throw it away or not, slightly confused he was putting it back. He said it's made in the UK, it doesn't count as cheese.
