American cream cheese is not particularly sweet. It is frequently used as an ingredient in savory dishes.
Most of the cheeses I ate when living in Germany are available in the US in the cheese section of a reasonably nice grocery store; the reverse wasn’t true at the time, my German friends had odd ideas about what cheeses Americans eat.
- ThePadawan 4y ago> Most of the cheeses I ate when living in Germany are available in the US in the cheese section of a reasonably nice grocery store I was trying to express a more generic statement. Germany has Quark, which the US doesn't, even though it could (and probably does if you have a Polish supermarket). The US has half-and-half [half cream and half milk], which is completely unknown in Germany, but there are like, 4 different levels of fat content for cream. I.e. if a German reads a recipe from the US that includes Heavy Whipping Cream, they just have to look up what that is and find something that is similar-ish. The identical product might not exist, since the dairy industry produces different products fitting specific legal definitions.
