The jounalist allude to a french idiom " to have the butter, the money of the butter and the bottom of the cheese seller " ( that's pretty strange after translation
)
its mean that you want impossible things, that you can't have the benefits of a situation and the benefits you would have if you had made the opposite choice.... clear?
"to have the butter and the money of the butter" is the traditionnal idiom. " and The bottom of the cheese seller" is a rather vulgar addition...
