I don’t think we can really blame the EU. Once we left we were no longer included in their umbrella biosecurity rules so we have to have our own.
You could possibly argue that our regulations are more rigorous and therefor better and safer for Brish agriculture.
But I’d just like to bring back a bit of cheese and some salami.
For once this is not a Brexit thing, it's due to outbreaks of foot and mouth disease in Europe, and the risk of contamination. A low risk, almost certainly, but the 2001 outbreak here was SO devastating to farming and farmers, with regret, I am prepared to accept it. Hopefully not permanently.
This sounds like the place to be aside from Marseillan. I'm making notes for the trip now! Can you buy Noilly Prat extra dry anywhere in France aside from the factory shop?
Just America! It’s appalling. Nowhere in France as far as I know - the people at NP are appalled that anyone disrespects their vermouths by drowning in gin so they say the American stuff is ‘less complicated’ and ‘unsophisticated’. It’s almost as if they don’t want to acknowledge its existence.
Since you ask…

I love kidneys! Have you tried the ones at Auberge Bressane in Paris - classic creamy mustard sauce. And a whole Alpine range of chips
Fantastic - why am I not in France? - try here when you are in Nimes - fantastic food, right in the market.

Duck is NOT on the list, and nor is goose. Bring magrets and gesiers.
Tell me one thing you can’t bring back because of Brexit- or more precisely because of the EU spite programme
happy to volunteer for your committed sybarite entourage . . .

The kidneys at Casse Croûte in Bermondsey are spot on if you need a more local fix 🌟
Love that place. Never tried the kidneys though. An appalling oversight.
I just can’t do offal. I’ve really tried but it’s not for me, even with delicious French gussying-up and heaps of garlic. The chips though, definitely
