As the people of Yorkshire go cycling crazy, Jet2.com has come up with a very cheesy way to mark the occasion. Partnering with local cheesemonger Cryer & Stott, the airline invited the Great British public to pick the ingredients for the ultimate “Grand Fromage” sandwich, matching their favourite French cheese with a truly Yorkshire accompaniment, with the winning sandwich being served to passengers on the Leeds Bradford flight to Paris today.
For weeks the public has been voting via Facebook on whether French cheeses such as Brie, Roquefort and Camembert work best with Yorkshire accompaniments such as Rhubarb chutney, Yorkshire Ham and Pontefract Liquorice Pickle! The winning combination was announced today and Jet2.com can reveal that Comté and Yorkshire Ham has won the cheesy taste challenge!
Richard Holmes, the director of Cryer and Stott commented “France produces some of the most delicious cheese in the world so it makes sense to bring a bit of French flavour to Yorkshire at the time of this amazing sports event. We hope the passengers on the Jet2.com flight to Paris enjoyed the “Grand Fromage” sandwiches which bring the taste of France and Yorkshire together in one beautiful baguette.”
