Aww. I think we have pretty good cheese. Not all of it of course. But, you know, there's bad brands and such everywhere. 'American' Cheese, the slice stuff calling itself that, is legitimately pretty bad though. For some reason it works on sandwiches- but that's it. Still, I think we've got decent cheddar, swiss, colby-jack, provolone, mozzarella, and parmesan available in most places. Maybe try various brands or a nice deli?

Oh yeh, I know! There’s some pretty good cheese over here, but it will never come close to stuff from back home for me personally. I prefer italian Parmesan and Mozzarella, but the American brands are pretty good as well! Same for Brie, nothing beats the real deal, but some American brands are very good. I do like American Provolone a lot, though! And Colby-Jack is nice. Sadly not a big fan of Cheddar, and that stuff is everywhere. :( “Cheese flavor” seems to be synonymous with Cheddar, haha. I don’t think I’ve ever tried a high quality brand of Cheddar tho, so my perception is probably warped in that regard.

Fun fact, what you guys call “Swiss cheese” is actually only one (and in my eyes not even the best, by far) of several hugely popular varieties of cheeses from Switzerland. If you ever get the chance, try Gruyere! It’s my absolute favorite cheese from Switzerland. Safeway/Vons stocks real imported Gruyere, sadly it’s criminally expensive.

Also secret cheese pro tip lifehack: Try combining cheese with jam. It’s super tasty!

Anyways, time for sleep! Night guys, it was fun talking about random stuff with you. I hope I didn’t annoy anyone.

Have you ever had American chocolate? Like Hershey's milk chocolate?

ratofponi Said:

I don’t remember if I ever specifically had Hershey’s. I’m not supposed to eat sugar, so I try to stay away. I do remember having some Reese’s and other american chocolate products, tho!

They didn’t quite taste like what we had back home. But I see some imported Swiss and German (theirs is good too!) chocolate brands in grocery stores here in the US all the time! Lindt is pretty nice. Or Milka. In my opinion as someone who doesn’t really eat sweets!

Also the cheese here is mostly a sad excuse for fermented milk :( And real imported Swiss or Italian cheese costs an arm and a leg. But otherwise food is pretty amazing here in the US. Love the variety and all the different cuisines. So many options!
