Comment on It's still a crust, mom

We have some really good cheeses here.

To be fair, that’s because it never was cheese to begin with: American (as in the type) “cheese” has always been a means of repurposing leftover cheese (and using supplementary ingredients like milk and milk protein and emulsifiers to bind things together). It legally can’t be called cheese because it’s always been a “cheese product”, not cheese. That doesn’t (inherently) mean it’s any less real food, though (which I feel is what most people hear when they hear, “It can’t legally be called cheese”).
Also, (as a cheese lover) yes: it does taste like ass and is repulsive. Entirely agreed.

Ok but the really good cheese is in the northeast

Haha; as someone who went to school in Massachusetts (twice), I can’t protest.
Honestly, – looking back – being so close to Vermont and not taking advantage of the food there more was downright criminal of my past self…
