The First Cut is the Deepest?

Dutch TV is apparently including coverage of truck drivers, coming from the UK, having their ham and cheese sandwiches confiscated by officials at Hook of Holland customs (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/11/dutch-officials-seize-ham-sandwiches-from-british-drivers). Post-Brexit, Products of an Animal Origin (PAO's) like butter, cheese and ham cannot be imported into the EU to stop the arrival of potential animal pathogens (like foot and mouth disease). Happily, the drivers can probably buy a broodje gezond (which is actually nicer), as soon as they cross the border into The Netherlands.
