Chain restaurants around the world.

Serving traditional and typical food of its own country: US chain restaurant. Salads with loads of cheese, maincourses with loads of cheese, and sauce, sandwiches, with loads of cheese[^] UK chain restaurant. Pretty much the same as the US, but without so much cheese.[^] Dutch chain, also close to the US, lots of burgers, but no seafood. And no cheese everywhere[^] French chain, looks little better than motorway food (having tried it it doesnt taste much better either), but at least trhe cheese occupies its propper course[^] What is it with the US and cheese, theirs doesnt even taste nice! :)
============================== Nothing to say.

Your point? BTW, If you don't like it, don't eat it. It's one of the last freedoms you have.

Your first link went to Hooters.com. I think you left something off their menu.

I'm gonna play this one blind and guess that he US has more cows than UK/Dutch/France.

Well, we might have fewer cheeses that taste like feet.... I'd call that a good thing. But i'd say it really comes down to the producer of the cheese. If you're buying cheese with "Kraft" on the label it's going to be more bland for the masses.

Eric is trolling for Americans for it's dinner tonight. Don't feed into it and it should go away...kind of like a fart.

I have only experienced imported Monterey Jack. That was OK, mild but certainly not unpleasant. Other than that - Kraft Dairylea. :)

Dairylea is usually in the form of a thick, spreadable soft cheese-flavoured paste
Oh yummy! X| Mind you, I used to like Primula [^] on Cream crackers. I might not enjoy it so much nowadays - but now I have got used to buying food rather than beer as my primary dietary staple...

Well, I wasn't extolling its virtues! It's the only other 'American' cheese I have tasted.

But there's now: "Primula with Chives, Primula with Ham, Primula with Prawns; and, the latest addition to the range, Primula Light". What are you waiting for? Get stuck in!

Perhaps not. In those days, I had bought a house I couldn't afford - I had no furniture at all until I was given a beanbag for Christmas and my idea of a hot meal was a cheese and ham toasty...

I like cheese well enough, I just question its over application. Actually Parmesan is a natural source of MSG and explains its usage as a general flavour enhancer in Italian cooking, along with anchovies.

I first noticed this thread on Friday, had a scan through, didn't follow the links. Seen it is still here over the weekend. Right now is the first time I have noticed the subject is 'Chain restaurants', and not as I had thought until now 'China restaurants'. No wonder I was confused.

You bought into the 'home-owning democracy' (aka 'wage slave' :) ) meme, then? Same here! No regrets, though. I would hate to have to begin my working and family life in this dog's dinner of an economy.

Yep. The company I worked for was very good about it though - they happily lied to the mortgage company, and inflated my alleged wage by 25% to help me get the loan. Hence the lack of furniture, food, and so on. Looking back on it, the only thing I regret is that I should have borrowed a air-bed that didn't have a slow puncture... :laugh:

If you define trolling as wanting to converse with people. What is it with computer nerds and their ridiculously narrow deffinitions and priggish sensitivities? Fuck me, dont any of you have any normal masculine characteristics?
