Make America Grate Again

[Aerkuld]

Wait - this isn't PARF content . . . yet

I don't know about the rest of you, but this is welcome news. I've called America home for the last twenty years, and have been visiting on a regular basis for the past forty. I love it here, and would never consider moving back to the UK, but there were historically two things which gave me cause for concern.

One of those was beer. However, this country seems to have gone above and beyond in the last thirty years or so. Now, with microbreweries springing up everywhere, and even some of the big brewers producing respectable beer, that is no longer a concern.


Now it looks as though the tide is turning on the second - Cheese.


Face it, American cheese is basically orange or yellow sheets of rubbery plastic. It's generic, tasteless, and offers no nutritional value whatsoever. Of course, there have always been a few artisanal cheese makers, but they were not appreciated to the extent they deserved in my opinion. But the times are changing. People are coming to the realization that cheese can be great, and it doesn't have to come in 3"x3"x1/16" thick tiles. Quality cheese has been slowly working it's way from specialist stores to main-stream supermarkets, and long may it continue to grow in popularity.

Do yourselves a favor. Bring it back. Stop this pre-grated, pre-sliced garbage and;

Make America Grate Again!

Seriously we appreciate your fondness of this country and your thoughtful post.
I hope we don't appear ungrateful.

Should have stuck with the beer, you lost me with cheese.

You guys are not eating the right chocolate or cheese if you believe what you say here.

Next thing will be there are no decent California wines.

There always has been good American made cheese, chocolate, and beer but you've had to search for it in the past.

Good beer is now prevalent, and maybe cheese is now going the same way.

Chocolate? We may have to wait a bit longer for that.

Swing through Wisconsin. You will find lots of good cheese. They eat it all, and don't ship much out.

There are some great cheeses in southern Wisconsin. I used to do a two day beer and cheese tour there with some 356 friends from the area. Beautiful country in the fall, and great local beer, cheeses, and pastries.

What does the "SF" in your location mean?

If it stands for San Francisco, I am afraid you may have to actually go outside your home to find good beer, cheese and chocolate, though I suspect you could have it delivered to you.
