Probably there are also some French people who don't like their country's more smelly cheeses.

On our very first trip to Singapore some years ago I was scanning through the hotel's guidebook in our room and read that "Durians are not allowed." We'd not heard of the fruit and had no Internet so spent some time speculating and fretting over what cult or group was being excluded.

We soon came to comprehend that rule.
