Which of these US presidents was gifted a 1,235-pound (560 kg) block of smelly Cheshire Cheese?

If only today's politicians made it a rule not to receive gifts.....either over or under the table!

Hardly Cheshire cheese as that is made in England so it was a copy.

luckycatfay, Wrong! The legal principle of a product name being specific to the place it was first made did not appear until the 20th Century and only applies if the National Government of its origin invokes it formally. I don't believe Britain has done that, yet. Even if they did it wouldn't apply to this case.

Old Fool, look at the world map and see how many are named after England New Jersey ect then say it’s not specific to America Cheshire is a cheese making county in England

The West Wing stories were inspired by Andrew Jackson.
