American cheese

Let's be fair here, America has lots of great food and food traditions, but cheese really isn't one of them

A one-off best cheese award isn't really indicative of the American cheese industry as a whole

they legally immigrated to wisconsin because of the high quality milk

***IMAGE_FIXED***

Of course you would judge it by the cheap stuff, there's low quality but we also now have proof of the highest quality cheese in the world

Ah very original

>For the first time in nearly 30 years, a cheese made in the U.S. has won the World Championship Cheese Contest.

What does a single recognition matter when your whole culture is built around processed shit food?

There's no way around this Americans, you are destined to eat industrial waste until the day you die.

t. le 64% face

Your lingo isn't welcome here.

>Wisconsin cheese wins international Wisconsin world Wisconsin cheese competition
l o l

Try a proper coastal cheese if you can even handle the unfamiliar smells, flavors, and textures of real cheese

Please note, bubbles, mold, crystals, and strong flavors and smells are not a bug, but, in fact, a feature

>thing is that americans are known for their unhealthy food so many people instantly assume that american products are shitty

The reason we're known for our unhealthy food is that hicks like the op think plastic garbage cheese is the best thing ever and if you don't agree you hate america* and have literally never even set foot here

*what they mean by "america" is "places that are like where I'm from"

We have so many options for food, good great bad whatever. It's not our fault your grocery store shelves are mostly empty

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Southern California makes any cheese, or at least none worth mentioning

Northern California is another story, it's on par with the Northeast

I agree with this, but the good unprocessed stuff is so much more inaccessible than the shit you eat every day. I almost die the last time I visited America.

Also, what's with the whole food waste culture there. You guys throw so much food. I guess that's what the dream is about.

>inaccessible

We have so much surplus of whole food (s) that we export it across the planet, most notably and currently to Britain, as weather conditions resulted in significantly smaller yields of produce this growing season, so there are rations nation wide. California alone can provide Britain with veg without putting a dent in their overall production numbers. Not significantly anyway.

It's not inaccesible if you know where to look, you can't just go to america and go to a mcdonalds and then say america has bad food, thats just lazy you're not doing any research.

As far as food waste, yea thats a concern but what are you gonna do

>Also, what's with the whole food waste culture there

During the cold war we organized our agro system to create a massive surplus for foreign policy reasons. As a result market incentives for food production are all kinds of fucked up. Garbage food is available by the ton, but good food is a privilege reserved for the coastal elites. Over the decades, the people in the middle of the country have been brainwashed by ADM and Cargill into believing that horking down buckets of cold war junk food is the most patriotic thing humanly possible and quality food is for OBSESSED europoors

Unfortunately every time we try to teach them about nice things they start shrieking about cucks and white guilt and it's impossible to even have a conversation. If I ate a vegetable today it makes me an out of touch liberal elitist because that's for the PETA vegans, give it to me still mooing lol for every animal u don't eat I'll eat three

>because supermarket schlock exists America must not have decent cheese anywhere
kys

The FDA mandates meat/produce/food stuffs be disposed of after a relatively short period of time. There are plenty of "Freegans" across America to ensure usable "expired" food is fished out of dumpsters and eaten. Shit, just in my little town local grocers put everything neatly packed in clean boxes, and place them into dumpsters for people to remove later.

>I'm not like THOSE hayseeds

sure thing cletus

"coastal elites"

the coast is full of some of the rudest and most disgusting people i've ever seen, they're so smug self important trust fund yuppies who never had to work in their life, either that or their mexicans consuming truck loads of the processed garbage you associate with the "flyover states"

I took an inventory of the cheese selection at a local cheesemonger once. The number of wisconsin cheeses in the good section were basically insignificant. All the good cheeses come from the coastal US or are imported from Europe

where was this local cheesemonger?

>they're so smug self important trust fund yuppies who never had to work in their life

No trust fund needed. The secret to having a job that pays good money is hard work and education. Instead of, say, sitting around all day taking oxycontin and whining about the mexicans taking our jerrrrb mopping the floors at the local wal mart.

And the taxes I pay with my nice job basically subsidize your state. You're welcome.

The northeast. But you would see a similar pattern in any decent cheesemonger in any city. Note, by cheesemonger I am not talking about the combination porn/fireworks/sketchy '''cheese''' shops you see along the interstate between Chicago and Minneapolis, I mean an actual cheesemonger selling good cheese

Obviously all of that hard work and 'education' has turned you into an ignorant pompous taint. I'm talking about physical labor not taking adderall and working on your pointless iphone app in silicon valley

Hmm so the northeast has a lot of northeast cheese, really proving your point, guy

>posted from my Pointless™ communications device

If you don't like modernity you are welcome to disconnect. No one is forcing you

No you didn't, you fucking idiot.

I lived for a few years in the midwest, the domestic selection is a bit more of an even split between california and the northeast, and of course europe is still strongly represented

Also lived in california, where, surprisingly, the selection is not unlike that of the midwest

The only local cheese that exists in the midwest that isn't complete crap is the "cheese curds" which are something that resemble mozzarella

Other than that it's mostly chemically modified sludge in a tub, or the worst which is when they label it "gouda" or something otherwise innocuous looking but it's really pasteurized process cheese food with liquid smoke added

The country wasn't built with your soft baby hands, the coast is where old people retire and people have dreams of making it big. You're the dying feminist clowns of the us

Why do europoors not understand the concept of mass produced cheese vs regular cheese? Why do europoors who don't know jack shit about America pretend like they know everything about it?

The box factory isn't going to reopen, sorry cleetus. Trump is just going to enrich himself and his cronies while you wait for the past to magically come back. You should have gotten out when you had the chance

Except that they are and the heartland will become even stronger while your dying state with its pothead priorities will crumble into the ocean

This entire post is bullshit. What do you mean good food is a "privilege " for coastal elites? I work a shitty hourly job and I just bought a whole shitload of produce when i went grocery shopping.
>inb4 gmo

You don't understand economics

>Jones, president of the United Steelworkers 1999, which represents Carrier employees, felt optimistic when Trump announced last week that he'd reached a deal with the factory's parent company, United Technologies, to preserve 1,100 of the Indianapolis jobs - until the union leader heard from Carrier that only 730 of the production jobs would stay and 550 of his members would lose their livelihoods, after all.

Oops! You were hoodwinked!

The guy is out of his depth, trying to micromanage the largest economy in the world by tweeting his late night brain farts and occasionally threatening a random CEO

But hey, if you're stuck, you're stuck. Sorry :(

all those images are jobs being prevented from leaving or being created, not "coming back", which is all very nice, but it's like paying a guy to get your stolen money back and instead he just makes sure you don't lose any more money which is great but not what he said and not what you asked for

What does any of your crying have to do with cheese?

It's just the beginning, he's only been president for 3 months and has already done more than obama did in 8 years

Like how idiots think tax returns are free money, but it's really just the government paying your loan to them back...interest free?

Yea...

:^)

How does cheese affect your political standpoints exactly?

>It's a Trump supporter doesn't understand basic macroeconomics because he didn't go to college episode

Why are you asking me? I'm not the one crying about MUH JERRBS and the mean elitist coasties. I was trying to talk about food until cleetus over there started raving about iphones

I wasn't saying anything to you until the post you just responded to, more than one person thinks you're retarded, and off topic. Go back to your containment board

>start /pol/ shit
>get your shit pushed in
>now it's suddenly off topic

Truth hurts doesn't it. I'm happy to go back to talking about food, but, once again, I wasn't the one who derailed it with rust belt butthurt.

I didn't say those things though. What does your crying have to do with cheese?

>damage control intensifies

That isn't a picture of food

>keeping jobs in america doesn't improve the american middle class

what am I not understanding?

Make up your mind. Do you want to talk about food, or do you want to talk about the economy?

I was originally talking about cheese until it devolved into a elitist pissing contest

I'm just defending my argument

You're right, it's a picture of you.

I'll keep asking until you answer, about cheese. Go back to your containment board where IDs make talking to people easier for you.

I'd appreciate it.

Don't feed the idiots. Even in places like New York, 90%+ of counties voted Trump. They just like to bait people into bannable content posting. I honestly think the obese, latina, female moderator of this board is the person whp does this shitposting.

Here are my posts about food
Look how many pictures of cheese I posted

Here is your damage control about MUH JERRRBS

Look how much /pol/ shit you spammed, and you still got your shit pushed in

So, once again, make up your mind. Food, or continue to get your shit pushed in? I'm fine either way. Here have some more cheese while you struggle with your emotions and rust-belt angst.

autism speaks

You're a faggot

Again, more than one person thinks you're an idiot, and every single post I've made is asking you about cheese. I'm 100% convinced shitposts like this go undeleted and user unbanned is because it's janitors and moderators pushing an agenda on a fucking cooking board of all places. How pathetic.

Actually it is the lizard people, the same ones who are forcing you to use Pointless™ communications devices and pick morgellons fibers out of your skin while you flood your oxycontin dealer's phone with text messages begging for a few free hits until you can steal enough wires out of abandoned homes to pay him back

Once again: talk about food, or you keep whining about economic uncertainty. I would prefer food, but hey. We can't all be privileged elitists :^)

...

I'm not talking about economics though, stop gaslighting and stay on topic. Stop using buzzwords to drive your agenda as well, cookie-cutter mentalities are truly pathetic. If I wanted to hear this drivel I'd buy a television set. Surely you have better things to do, I'm just going to assume you got banned from /b/ or /pol/ for shilling off topic garbage. Awful.

They're all in urban America, if you ever come back to the States you should try and go to Houston, you will be unbelievably spoiled for choice

Major cities get first choice believe it or not. I go to Fulton Street market every morning before work to put my orders in.

>I almost die the last time I visited America.
Are all Europeans this fucking melodramatic?

Yes, that's why Muhammadeens are coming in and takin' all their wiminz.

>only physical labor is worthwhile
Right......

And then even as those plants stay in the United States, many of those jobs will be automated away

There is top tier food made in America. The problem is the average American does not have access to it. Generally the best food require better ingredients and more human input than mass produced industrial food, so it costs a lot more. The common man in America isn't eating much if any of it.
>The reason we're known for our unhealthy food is that hicks like the op
It isn't just hicks. Walk into a regular supermarket even in a major metropolitan area and most of what they're selling is shit. If you want good stuff you pretty much have to go to a specialty store because overall American standards are pretty low. Those low standards keep our food cheap, though. And that's part of where we get the reputation for unhealthy food - standard issue meat and dairy products are so cheap we can just pile them on with abandon. That tendency to use low to mediocre quality ingredients and just supersize everything is common here. And we do have a reputation for doing it.

what's sad is that, at least on the Gulf Coast, it's not really all that much more expensive. Then again the Gulf Coast is also a relatively affordable part of the country to live in

>Switzerland have won four of the last five world championships, including in 2014 when an Emmentaler, a rinded Swiss-style cheese
Switzerland produced a Swiss style cheese.
You blow my mind, America.

I've got family in NOLA, so I get there often. But even there, where they have a more legit food culture than most of the country you still see the gap between food for the rich and the common man. If the rich guy is making red beans on Monday he'll use some artisan andouille in it. In the 9th they'll use Double D. That is different worlds (though both are tasty).

I'd eat the shit out of that. Love less-soft goats cheeses beyond the usual generic goat stuff.

Don't agree with the sentiment as much, most of the western world makes good, varied cheese, you just have to find it.

Wisconsin's finest

>tfw going to the market tomorrow
This thread made me hungry for cheese I can't wait

I bought some of this the other week. Divine.

Is this the cheese thread?
is Gavin Weber /our/guy?
youtube.com/watch?v=xEnifYNnDCA

I spend around 40$ every week in cheese.
I have a problem.

Better cheese than alcohol or cigarettes I guess. I'm not sure what would be harder to give up

Well I never smoked and only drink socially.
But I can tell you I couldn't dream of stopping eating cheese one day.

>muh heartland will be stronger
>posts a maymay pic of Trump niggosheaytin 95k jobs
>A mere 95k jobs would have been bad month for Obama

Fuck you're desperate

How to keep jobs in America, shit for brains.

yes u are

>wisconsin makes a million cheeses and none of them are better than the one cheese from oregon

youtu.be/WB-bcDBXvDA

>all the butthurt europoors and libs in this thread

yah, thats wrong though

If you'd ever been to Wisconsin you'd know it would be garnished with sausage, not fucking lettuce and citrus, what the fuck is that?

In America cheese makers are allowed to make any style they desire and are judged on their merits, unlike in Europe where they make what the bureaucrats give them permission to make and disallow competitors from making outside of politically well connected regions

he's from reddit fagit, you should both go back

i love this pic. mind if i save it?
