Yes, because all Americans eat Kraft Singles for cheese in the Continental USA.

Christ, this is getting real fucking old.

I feel like hitting someone with a block of Land O Lakes White American right now.

Your cheese is a joke and you and your country should be ashamed.

None of you have ever stepped foot into an US supermarket?

We can manage. I'll take a nice photo of the cheese aisle on my lunch break.

I have plenty of times. The cheese on offer is massively inferior to what you would find in Europe.

I couldn't even find your fromageries let alone sample their cheeses.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Seriously, even the so-called "American Cheese" is so shitty that you can't even sell it as just "cheese"

Wow, even the ones that are imported from Europe too?

Stop going to shitty grocery stores then.

I remember hearing that Americans don't put butter on their sandwiches. Is this true?

 

[Renekton]

Wait a minute... Americans don't eat sandwiches like that? To me, a sandwich is a single piece of bread with one or two toppings. The most common ones are cheese or thin slices or ham. Add a bowl of cereal or some coffee and that's what 90% of Swedes eat for breakfast.

Here is a pretty normal breakfast:

I guess you fully intend to live up to age 120

 

[Chainsawkitten]

There's like a hundred kinds of cheese at your average supermarket. If you can't find a single one you like I'd say that's on you, not the cheese. But I'm just a naive European, maybe America is haunted ground that ruins every cheese in close proximity to it.

 

[milanbaros]

I have tried a sprouts, trader joes and a whole foods.

Which are the good ones so I'll know for next time?

I dunno, we have cheese that you can spray out of a can alongside fancy schmancy european mold cheese and shit. I can get both without leaving the cheese isle and put them on a dry ass piece of rye bread and live the lavish European life too.

 

[DrROBschiz]

Americans aren't limited to any kind of specific sandwich

WE can get lots of toppings or few. Aren't our countries the same in that respect?

 

[acheron_xl]

I'll butter the crown of a burger bun before I toast it. That's about it.

We use mayo not butter.

We butter our bodies before eating the sandwich, then rub our bodies together while a bald eagle perches on a tree above us, fireworks go off in the sky and three f 15 fly overhead

 

[hodgy100]

That's gravy, my man

what makes it that colour.

im used to gravy looking like:

hmm even our chicken gravy isnt that light, you guys literally add cream to it eh?
gravy is more liek a thich stock using any and all juces from making your roast dinner, meat juice + veg juice then maybe add some herbs into it or a little wine if you are posh.

No i was just describing the color

There is no "go to" gravy. Too much variety. Its different everywhere I go including our home cooked meals

The best gravy is just the juices though

Pretty much. You can have white gravy with grits, or the iconic brown gravy served with turkey in thanksgiving, or use au jus called gravy to dip roast beef sandwiches. Hell, some people even call tomato sauce gravy

Fry up a nice thick steak and then drop a pad of butter into the juices and let that thicken into a gravy and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmh

It depends on the type of cheese. Last I heard, America does not allow cheese from raw milk and that makes a big difference for soft cheese. Like, I don't even know what brie is suppose to taste like because there's almost no flavor to the kind available at Trader Joe's. We(Americans) do just fine with stuff like Parmesan, Pecorino and Gouda.

This is where I post an image of Trader Joes where there are tons of varieties of cheese from all over the world, along with tons of varieties made in the US. The good thing about the US is that we have tons of choices of cheese everywhere. The cheese section at the supermarket doesn't consist of 100 different brands of "American cheese." There are tons of varieties.

Also, how is this thread 12 pages long. I need a Lionel Mandrake summary.

Certain cheeses are not imported because of Pasteurization problems and the FDA can't approve them IIRC.

lol what

We have more varieties of cheese than we know what to do with

Pretty sure there are some good ones in there. The overabundance of choice in America just trumps any argument

 

[Jal]

My parents used to only allow me one slice of wafer thin meat on a sandwich

 

[Faiz]

Fucking hell these threads, man. I see more food snobbery between USGAF and EuroGAF than I do on actual foodie forums.

 

[Affeinvasion]

That being said there are a ton of craft cheese makers in the US making raw milk cheese now. They're often found at farmer's markets or specialty cheese stores.

I've had cheese from raw milk from Trader Joes, though.

 

[Android18a]

UK here. My lunch was 2 sandwiches.

Bread + Butter + Chinese-Style Chicken.

Nom.

 

[Matty8787]

Yeah in the UK home made sandwiches tend to be one or two toppings between two slices of bread.

Go to the likes of subway etc for the bigger choices.

Also nothing wrong with a cheese sandwich.

 

[Walter White Walker]

There is usually two cheese sections at our grocery stores. There's one with all the less expensive mass produced stuff, and than over in the deli there's all the better, more expensive cheese. Between imports and smaller domestic cheese artisians there's a big variety of fancier stuff.

Chipotle.

to be fair we have a lot of shitty stereotypes about just about every other country. being known for bad cheese isn't nearly as bad as, you know, all the gun deaths.

i think kraft singles are the overall best selling cheese but they're a small part of overall cheese sales.

 

[Dennis]

Five star American restaurants. To remind of us of everyday European cuisine.
