    Americans visited the UK during WW2’s rationing and never updated their stereotypes.

          Here in America we eat freedom cheese, meaning cooperations are free to add whatever they want to our foods unlike in the EU, where certain chemicals are not allowed in your foods. Yay for obesity. We have Pink Slime and chemically sprayed potatoes to prevent black spots on our McDonald’s Freedom Fries.

          Don’t be mad we actually make better cheddar than the UK.

          Also, not gonna lie, cheezwhiz has its place. It’s just not the height of culinary cuisine.

            Ha! Don’t make me spit out my tea. Your cheddar is cheese-flavored plastic in comparison.

              Hey now some of us grew up on Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product that can’t really be called cheese on it’s own.

                I lived in Wisconsin for a year. Most supermarkets had 3 types of cheese:
                yellow, orange and mixed. They all tasted the same.

                What you call cheese cant be sold under the label “cheese” in the UK or the EU, due to it being so shit and lacking in actual cheese.

                  Then this must be embarrassing for y’all. Do we have gross processed cheese? Yeah, we do. Do we also make fantastic cheese? Yeah, we make a lot of it. Do we make shit beer? Absolutely. Do we also make some of the best beers in the world? Yeah, we make a fuckton of great beer. I get stereotypes and most of them are funny. The Brits conquering the world for spices and then using none of it in their food. Yeah, there is some truth to that but I do know that you can get some amazing food in the UK. Curry shops are super popular because the lack of spice thing isn’t really true for all. Do you understand the same thing about the US or is your ire carrying past reality?

                    Not really, good for them. However, very few people eat the actual cheese entered in those competitions, as its expensive stuff. I don’t mean to and I sure I didn’t doubt that there might be some good cheeses in America.

                    No, I mean literally most standard, supermarket American cheese cant be sold in the UK or the EU as cheese, much like the chocolate out there. Unless things have changed, its not a meme.
