Isn't most food and cargo shipped overseas anyway?

Most is, but high value short life "fresh" food is airfreighted.

Indeed and those can't be shipped with slower transport anyway so probably the price of some fruit might go up this week.

More than high enough. Most of the ferries have movable mezzanine decks so they can either carry two decks of cars or one deck of lorries in the same space, the more freight-oriented operators like Norfolkline just have two main decks for tall vehicles and an extra deck above that for cars. But are the "car" decks high enough for trailers?
The days of only being able to carry two or three HGVs in the aft end of the car deck (after reversing them down the linkspan as you couldn't turn them around on the ship and only had a stern door) are long gone!

I always think of Dutch cuisine as one of the few which are even blander than the British. Although this is based only on spending a fortnight there in my teens! I remember the kids loved white bread microwaved with a slice of processed cheese on it Since when do you British eat real food?
At the very least, British cheese is surely superior!

Dutch cheese is nice but you need to get the good kind, I myself find old cheese nice.

I confess I like that but don't you put chips on bread?Chocolate spread for breakfast!
It's good none mentioned ollibollen
But back to the facts, I didn't say Dutch was real food either so why so defensive

I don't really think we'll run out of food. Bear in mind that we have very reliable ferry links to multiple ports. I could easily see P&O et al saying "most of our ships are freight only until it clears" if the situation required, especially as they make most of their money from freight traffic!
