This guy’s head must explode when he sees they held “Social Security” out of his check.
Gouda nuff for them Gouda nuff for us. :-)
We should have a cheese and booze exchange. We get to call our blue cheese Stilton and they get to call their booze Tennessee bourbon.
Isn’t there mandatory pasteurization for cheese made in the US?

This country produces some great cheeses. Vermont cheddar is wonderful and, since “cheddar” is also verb, I see no problem using the name. American made Stilton, Roquefort, Brie and Parmesan are, each, their own kind of abominations. Give the Europeans their due, spend the money and buy the real thing. It’s way better. Really.
Emmental tales this guy is making.
As a compromise, they could add American to the name, so it’s clear that these are American versions of the cheeses in question.
I used to put Feta in my salads, but the price has ridiculously skyrocketed so it can just sit and fester and mold on the store shelves these days. Nowadays, I usually toss some Havarti on top.
Valveeta is cheese? That's really stretching the word "cheese". Doesn't it have to be labeled "cheese food"?
If the French start selling something called Wisconsin Cheddar, they’re going to be in a heap of trouble.
Is that due to the pasteurization process or old world secrets or what?

Will the Europeans stop calling those huge fake M&Ms that taste like beet flavored Sixlets “Smarties”? Tiny pastel discs are “Smarties”.
Enough with the bad cheese puns! I just Camembert it any longer!
Hmm, I just did a search in Merriam Webster.com dictionary and dictionary.com and didn't find anything stating that it was a verb. Both said it was a noun.Also every dictionaries that I searched besides theses two said it was a Noun. All of them including the 2 said it is mostly capitalized as in Cheddar. That said Brie Cheese and Camembert are my favorite cheeses. I also love Emmentaler cheese
Europe is quite cheesy I will admit.
But sorry their "real" whatever is something that they swiped from someone else. In fact cheese is from the middle east so Europe can just quit calling it cheese and invent some other name for it since it is not "real" cheese which can only be made in the middle east probably from camel milk.
Might I suggest name it after themselves "petty tyrant loving nitpickers"? Then they can have some feta PTLN.
I cheddar at the thought of using cheese names as verbs.
I'm sure Michelle Obama disapproves...
But he’s correct about that stuff in the picture at the top of the article. That crap is 1/2 wax.
When I was in Somerset twenty years ago the locals referred to the process of cutting the fresh curds into small chunks before refoming the cheese into wheels as “Cheddaring”. Perhaps it was a local usage.
No, Velveeta is really cheese. Made from milk. It’s more cheese than the Kraft “Parmesan” in the can.
I have no idea but I was in the alps sat July on the French/Italian border in a small French village called Isola. The local fromagerie produced a soft Gorgonzola that was almost too good to be true. The cws and heel they used were grazing right there in the mountains. Perhaps it’s the freshness of the raw material.
