Yanks eat cream of wheat and toast Wonder Bread. Hopeless.

White grits. Yellow grits. Cheezy grits. Fried grits. Grits and hash.

Apparently their cheese tastes like cardboard.

White trash cooking usually involves Velveeta.

That links to \"American cheese\" -

So the one you name after your country is the rubbish stuff?
We have that too, it\'s called \"cheese slices\" made by Kraft, but copied
by supermarkets. Quite nice actually. Easy to use on a sandwich, no
cutting needed, and sometimes I scoff 10 slices just shoving it in my
mouth.
Although I also get proper sliced cheese. You can get Edam and Gouda in
slices nice to stick in a sandwich.
I see Kraft bought Velveeta. I thought with a name like Kraft it was
German, like Kraftwerk.
Oh yeah, named after one of the countless foreigners you let in.



ICK! American Cheese is nothing but slices of solidified salty goo
pretending to be \"cheese\" but really are just slices of yellow jelly.

Dairylea and Laughing cow is in the same category as these.

I am extremely proud of my two daughters as they are 2 and 6 and neither

I like real cheese and processed cheese. They\'re just different.

I am paying between about £9 and £25 per kilo for cheese.
Even top grade Dolcelatte or Parmesan. That\'s at most $15 per lb.

I pay £6 to £12. Tesco has stupid amounts of half price offers.

It was at one time. Argyll bought the British subsidiary in 1987. They
were in trouble in the \'80s and sold off a lot of their operations. Most
of what was left was in the western US. Albertsons bought them in 2015.

In this city there were both Albertsons and Safeway markets but Albertsons
had to divest themselves of the physical Safeway stores. In a town north
of here there was only a Safeway so it stayed Safeway. It\'s confusing. The
last time I was there some items were cheaper if you had a card. I happen
to have one that I got in Colorado. Albertsons used to have a card but
dropped it years ago.

We no longer have Safeway. When Albertson\'s bought the chain they had to
divest themselves of the Safeway stores in Missoula which became Fresh
Markets which were recently bought by Yokes. The changes were minimal as
far as I can tell.

We had a Lucky\'s Market that lasted two years. Tidyman\'s was another
option but losing a $6.3 million sexual discrimination suit put the chain
out of business.

Why the fuck is $6.3 million require to shut up some lesbians?

Tough market. When I used to travel I was amazed at how much cheaper food
was in LA, Phoenix, Seattle or other major markets.

Of course we can detect both, just don\'t do it with any strong ones.
I can certainly detect and distinguish between citric, oxalic, acetic,
hydrochloric , tartaric and formic acid.

The inorganic acids apart from weak hydrochloric are too dangerous to
taste , but who of us hasn\'t licked a stinging hand and got a taste of
battery (sulphuric) acid?

Same with alkalis - one can smell the chlorine in bleach and smell
caustic soda. Enough not to taste it anyway.
