Americans do eat a lot of cheese. Not as much as the French though.

I once ate a huge ball of mozzarella and i couldn't poo poo for 3 days.

Westerners consume insane amounts of dairy products. I do it practically every day and I'd guess most people do. If you're not used to that, I can see how it would be a source of fascination.

Isn't milk consumption way down though? Like 1/3rd less in the last 30 or 40 years.

But we're making up for it in cheese and ice cream. It's not on topic, but Americans really love their ice cream and even take it with them to war:

quote:

In 1942, as Japanese torpedoes slowly sank the U.S.S. Lexington, then the second-largest aircraft carrier in the Navy’s arsenal, the crew abandoned ship—but not before breaking into the freezer and eating all the ice cream. Survivors describe scooping ice cream into their helmets and licking them clean before lowering themselves into the Pacific.

I will say that one of the funniest things I've seen is Japanese tourists getting off two tour buses at a Wegmans in State College PA and walking through and taking pictures of everything like it was a goddamn amusement park. Do supermarkets with food courts not exist in Japan or something?
Well, it is a Wegmans. I mooned my way through the flagship store in Rochester and I'm just from Michigan.

And the Japanese consume almost none. Grocery stores here typically have just one or two types of "pasteurized processed cheese food" and no actual cheese. I was excited to even find a place where I could get that crap grated parmesan in a shaker. We had a potluck to celebrate a friend's return from Germany a few months ago, and said friend brought back a bunch of cheese with him. Every westerner at the party just ignored almost everything else until we had utterly wrecked the cheese plate. It's one of those things you don't even realize you miss until you have some and then you're like HOLY OH MY gently caress I NEED CHEESE UP MY FACE.

In Okinawa, taco flavored stuff is super popular. You can actually get taco sushi, taco rice, taco onigiri, etc. There's typically a bit of cheese on it, but it's shredded garbage-rear end American cheese, and usually not even much of that.


e: "taco" in this case meaning basically Taco Bell ground beef


It looks like this, and it's actually not half bad:

It's me. I'm that guy.

I'm actually not kidding. My dad lived in Hawaii for a few years and developed a taste for spam, and so I grew up eating a lot of it. One of the essential tools in my kitchen is a press for packing the rice in a block of spam musubi.

My dad's cousin is less broken than us and simply developed a visceral hatred of the stuff.

Spam is a huge thing on a bunch of pacific islands, it's a weird holdover from WWII. I'll totally eat the heck out of a spam musubi, but they're just not common here. Which is weird, because spam itself is quite popular.

spam is perfectly fine and spam musubi is loving delicious especially if you make sure the spam is nice and fresh grilled up with just a little bit of charring to go with the sushi rice.

The place near me back in Louisiana also made onigiri with fried spam and teriyaki in it that was good as hell.

yea unless you're talking chopped spam in eggs or something the key thing that makes spam sushi good is it's one nice big hunk of spam and then you're not eating any more spam.

I was watching our local news after some strong winds came through. The reporter was showing the areas where damage occurred and power was out. They advised staying in your basement and using a battery powered radio to listen to their radio affiliates weather coverage. The catchphrase they used?
