DO they sell French dressing?

[Mariner]

Markets around here have both the “Mexican” and “Asian” aisles.

Between this and the E U trying to get us to abandon the traditional names of cheeses like Parmesan, I don't know what we will do when we have a craving for cheese.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Blessed are the cheesemakers.

[ZOOKER]

Non-issue.

Everyone knows a ham sandwich requires swiss cheese.

I buy Mexican cheese all the time but it is not advertised as such.
That's right... its a Mennonite recipe.

The sad thing is, the Hispanic cheese can't show documents to prove it's what it says it is.

If you're extremely lucky, you'll find a pack with an embassy obtained Matrícula Consular card as documentation. Some stores in the U.S. won't recognize it as such tough.

Not to worry, you don't have to be a very big cheese to get one...

Well, if there is one case where I don't mind diversity at all, as a matter of fact I love it, it's food.
I refuse to be offended.

I had to Google "Mr Mister" to remember what hits they had back in the 1980s.

"Broken Wings" was one of them and I remember that song, here are some of the lyrics:

So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free

And then a whole bunch of Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahs...

Not yeah-yeahs in a Beatles kind of way, but yeah-yeahs in a Reagan era kind of way.

I miss the 1980s.

Lactose intolerance? I think he’s milking the joke.

[palmer]

Danish Fimboe?

No.

Czech sheep's milk?

No.

Venezuelan Beaver Cheese?

Not -today-, sir, no.

Here is a take off on the Starnes article by Lucy Westcott in The Wire.

Fox News Columnist Startled by Discovery of 'Hispanic Cheese' in the Supermarket

[KGeorge]

Could they have meant quemado or queso fresco? (I think these are both white cheeses) Beyond that, there’s a big difference between regular cheddar cheese & “Mexican cheese” (which became popular/ common in the mid 80s) “Mexican cheese”, so called because it’s made in Mexico, is very stringy & rubbery. If you grew up on Tex Mex food & loved it, it’s a hard transition to make- hard to chew & harder to swallow. The original cheese used in Mexican food was creamy & had just enough body- not Velveeta & not cheddar.

(Did it I mention that the earth revolves around the “perfect” enchilada? It just about does, here)

[HiTech RedNeck]

I’ve seen Mexican cheeses for a while, and a lot of gringos like it, but a Hispanic cheese is something to muse at.

[adorno]

I used to live in “Spanish” Harlem, yet, all of the residents were Puerto Ricans and Blacks.

I’ve also been known to eat Italian food, and Chinese food, and Cuban food, and Puerto Rican food, and even American food.

I don’t discriminate, and I’ll eat what’s closest to me, when I get hungry.
