left_unattended posted:Most/every post I read so far has referred to cheese as "cheddar". Since cheddar is a variant rather than the general name where I live, I was curious. A bunch of others cheese types were posted, but not the ones I happen to be most familiar with. Not having been to the US, I was curious. I would have asked the same question of someone from any other country. No one is trying to be insulting. How dare we be curious and ask questions. I'm from all of the US and I've never heard anyone say "cheddar" unless they meant "cheddar [the specific variety of cheese]" If someone just says "cheese", on the other hand, there is a pretty good chance they mean individually wrapped petroleum products.

I know this was probably done intentionally to be silly but it honestly could be a Facebook post of someone trying the latest fad diet "The celery is jam-packed with fiber to help cleanse your digestive system, the dry ramen will absorb all the ~toxins~ in your body, and cherry tomatoes are jam-packed with vitamins A and C, known cancer-killing natural compounds!"

it's actually the national currency. Hence when you ask someone for money in the US you say "give me some of that cheddar!" you only hear about the dollar bill because the government and the media are ran by libelous lactose-intolerant liberals.

Hirayuki posted:I admit Steve's festering can looked a lot grosser than the fresh stuff that appeared in this past season of Top Chef. Then again, they were in Mexico and could buy it fresh at the local market. Here in the Midwest, we'd be stuck eating the canned stuff (or pushing it around on our plates, anyway). They cooked with escamoles, too. I dunno. You can buy it fresh at a Mexican Wal-mart, haha! Well,not that fresh, but fresher than the canned version. And speaking of escamoles, my mom was just watching a recipe on youtube where they were using fly larvae for a dish.

I found this while watching docos on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgipYuNu4S4 This guy basically reverse engineers various cheap meat products to see how companies make burgers and stuff cheap by putting in as little meat as is legally possible. Usually by throwing in fat, offcuts and 'mechanically reclaimed meat'. I'm not sure why people are so disgusted by the presence of beef heart in burgers though, heart is still muscle meat and pretty much the same poo poo as any other cut of meat they might throw in a mincer. Personally I'd prefer they put in hearts over random pieces of fat and gristle or shitloads of flour to bulk it out.

Organ meats are delicious and I feel bad for anyone too grossed out to eat them. If you've never experienced the joy of a huge plate of haggis after a freezing cold day then you haven't really lived.

KakerMix posted:Live in Wisconsin and you have any cheese you want in any variety you want in any brand you want made with whatever ingredients you want. The only thing I miss about living in Wisconsin is the endless cheese possibilities in every store. First time I went to the bigger Woodman's there in Madtown, I was stupified. 3 aisles of cheese. I'm from upstate NY and we have a fair amount of cheese, but nothing like that. Or the 75 kinds of bratwurst and summer sausage...

SLOSifl posted:They last forever and melt perfectly, which is why they exist. Also most are made from actual cheese, and in some recipes are actually a good ingredient. It depends on the cheese. "Processed pasteurized cheese product" is in fact not cheese and more an amalgamation of fats and leftover crap that is cobbled together and resembles cheese. It's imitation crap. Granted it's cheap and tastes close enough to American cheese that you eat it if you're too poor for real cheese. However, America's adoration for low/reduced/no fat milk means that there is a gently caress load of milk fat just kind of laying around and you know that poo poo needs to go somewhere. That "somewhere" is generally cheese. So yeah, there are in fact yellow American cheeses that are in fact made from milk but in the way you think of when you think of real cheese. So yeah some things are labelled cheese because they approximate cheese. Other things are tangentially but still technically cheese. Rigged Death Trap posted:The difference is the indigineous people know what their food is while modern food companies do what they can to obscure its origins. Yeah but there are some parts that are legit gross.
