...the critiques are coming from people that eat Heinz Beans on Toast for breakfast.

Nice to add some perspective - thanks Nittany.

I note all of them have never actually eaten these things, but are appalled at the looks, or perceived flavor, etc.

How’d that old Alka-Seltzer commercial go, “Try it, you’ll like it.”?

I’m a northerners who went to col.ege in Florida, and got my first taste of grits there and loved them. We would put either butter or apple butter on them, salt and pepper If I remember right. Some kids ate them with sugar- but I found the taste didn’t need it in my opinion. The kids who didn’t like the grits would pass them over to us who did likethem. S

So you could say I was a foreigner in Florida tast8ng southern coo,ing for the first time, and loved it.

I'll pop a top on a can of Bush's Beans and eat them right out of the can (with a pack of saltines).

Try B & M. They are better beans. Heck, even Friend's Beans are better.

No doubt there’s a few in that crowd that find lutefisk yummy.

Just don’t tinker with my “French Dressing”! I know it’s not literally what the French put on their lettuce, but I really don’t care. Do you?

About three years back, several grocers in my area stopped retail sales of any French Dressing version. Apparently, some unknown lobby group had been working at getting this flavor cancelled because it was deemed inauthentic.

A quiet but steady consumer push back followed.
Eventually, we got our preferred dressing back, authentic or not.

As a southerner they can blow me on grits. To Australians I’ve tasted vegimite. The most disgusting vile stuff. Brits. Boiled meat.

Nothing better than a root beer float.

We called them "brown cows" when I was a kid.

It’s interesting how the manufacturers include “product” in their description. Gotta be a reason for that.

If you use something as an adjective, it doesn't have the same rules. If it's a noun, it has to actually be cheese.

Great movie. That’s right. NO instant. I use the stone ground made in a small town Aynor SC outside of Myrtle Beach.

Russians on the other hand have this thing about all things corn related. To them, corn is only used as pig feed, and never for human consumption.

Many Americans feel the same way about rye bread, and even Americans who hate Wonder Bread don't go in for Russian black bread.

I don't think corn grows in most of Russia. Except in the south, the growing season is too short. Italians and Romanians, though, did take to eating corn mush.

They use the term “product” because yup, it includes non-cheese ingredients... chiefly milk and cream... that mean that the percentage of pure cheese contained is below some arbitrary threshold. I personally love blue cheese, but I think if you ask the average American would they like a cheese that is 15% milk or 2% mold, most people would go for the milk (unless they knew how yummy gorgonzola is). But cheese + 2% mold is cheese, but cheese + 15% other dairy products is “cheese product.”

Personally, I consider “cheese product” to be fit for niches: “American cheese” is bland kiddy food, being very resistant to crumbling; Velveeta melts beautifully; and sometimes being able to add sharp cheddar flavor as if it were whipped cream is just a delight.
