Oh please. This attitude is at least 20 years out of date. The US has a number of excellent, world class cheeses which are becoming more and more accessible every day. I can now walk into my local safeway and be confronted with an entire display case full of artisinal, high quality cheese.
True, certain things like raw milk cheese are unavailable but it's certainly not true that US cheeses universally taste like plastic.
- axod 16y agoI can only say that of the cheese I've eaten in restaurants, Frys, Safeway, etc it's been universally horrible. Yes, perhaps if you go to a niche speciality cheese corner shop, you can find good cheese in the US. But that's not much use.
- stcredzero 16y agoTry the cheese counter at Whole Foods. YMMV. Some of the people there care about cheese, some are just there for a paycheck. I recommend the Humbolt Fog.
- Keyframe 16y agoSure you can get good cheese, but it's not predominant. Same as getting a good bread in UK. I guess that was the point.

- stcredzero 16y agoI thought that brown bread I got at just about every Irish B&B was great! Then again, I'm from the US.
