Some Americans came into work today

[Lindsey_1535]

And they asked for American cheese and it was a grand ol time. Then they made fun of how I talked. And asked if I ever saw a moose, I saw one the other day at IGA too :(

[ToucanSpam]

boo urns



You should have fed them stupid stuff like olives.

[TAL]

Don't worry, we have moose here too.

[CiaoBellaXO]

you dont have american cheese there?

[ToucanSpam]

*slap*

[Bob]

i hadn't thought about it, what do you have instead of american cheese? it's just so standard down here, it's in pretty much every restaurant. hell, you could probably ask for american cheese ravioli if you wanted to (though i don't know why you'd want to), it's that common. it never occurred to me that there are places where you'd look ridiculous if you asked for it.

we don't get out much, you see

[voltanapricot]

Yank:"I'll have a Waldorf salad."
Brit:"We've ran out of Waldorfs."

Ahhhhhh.

I remember a friend at work asked a Canadian family that came in if they rode to England on a moose. Ha. Spanner.

[Lindsey_1535]

white chedder or montery jack

They asked what bar they should go to and I told them a shitty cougar bar so in their face jackasses.

[CiaoBellaXO]

*slap*

what...is it called something else there? You can import it ya know. Although when I go to subway I always get the pepper jack.

Why would canadians want american cheese that doesn't make sense.

[ToucanSpam]

Why would canadians want american cheese that doesn't make sense.
*roundhouse*

[Bob]

Why would canadians want american cheese that doesn't make sense.

why would they want cheddar cheese? why would they want provolone? why would they want mozzarella? for the taste, dummy. just because it's named after a country doesn't mean only citizens of said country are allowed to eat it.

it is a little bland as cheeses go, i'll admint, but this shouldn't really have anything to do with nationalism. i don't like gorgonzola either. what does that mean? nothing. it's just a cheese, it's only got to do with taste

[Monsieur Decuts]

as a rule,

most canadians only really understand Cheddar and Mozzorella..or marble chesse made up of the two.

[ToucanSpam]

Monterey Jack on my Subway. I enjoy scrutinizing the sammich people when they dont get it right. :D

[Hal9000]

American cheese as a rule isn't even cheese, it's just synthesized oils chemically processed and combined with dairy extracts and food coloring to form a cheese-like loaf, so I can understand why other countries wouldn't be in a rush to import it.

[Monsieur Decuts]

you know in wisonnsin they had personal pizza's in their subways. true story.

things have changed in NS...they didn't have jack when I lived there. they just had one orangy generic cheese.

seattle has just as many subways as starbucks i think...man this place is infected.

no
youre missing the point
its about the general closed attitude yanks tend to exude by always assuming foreigners have a constant interest in their country and/or their culture/etc. it goes with and beyond this here cheese example.

Well what about Canadian Bacon, huh? :mad:

[HEIRESS]

Im allergic to the dyes used in some cheap orange cheeses

it makes my ears turn bright red and emit massive amounts of heat energy

that said, Id probably stay away from americano cheez

[DroppinScience]

you dont have american cheese there?

We have processed cheese. We just don't call it "American cheese"

[ToucanSpam]

We have processed cheese. We just don't call it "American cheese"
I call it garbage, but I'm a cheese snob.

[little j]

hahah

hahaha
eh?
hahaha
i love canadians.

[ToucanSpam]

WE DONT SOUND WIERD DAMMIT!!! :mad:


I'm going oot for some Tim Hortons.

[miss soul fire]

Americans are everywhere, spying us so they can take over the world!:p

Today there were a couple of them in the metro line, talking in English like nobody understood it.:p:D

[little j]

at least you all know how to make beer.
and french fries.
yum.
i would go back to B.C. just for the beer.
and french fries.
and the Loonies
:)
and the hemp bracelets and pot smokers

Did you punch them in the throats for making bad cheese? I would have. Bastards make a mockery of the cheese kingdom.

[NurfBallJeaneus]

WHat is the difference between american cheese and the regular cheese you get at Subway?

[adrockmelanie]

i always get provolone.
i got pepperjack like twice.

[zorra_chiflada]

haha americans
did they say "god bless america!" after every sentence?

[Bob]

not sure what you mean by "regular" cheese. if droppinscience is right, then apparently it's just the name. i guess we are snobs. unless the US invented it, then canada adopted it and just dropped the name. then you guys are jerks.

really though, of all the cheeses to steal, you pick the crappiest one :confused:

it is kind of embarrassing the way americans act overseas (or overland) sometimes. i wish i had a good excuse for it but i don't. not that i'm responsible for them or anything. it's like america's the center of the world and everywhere else is just a tourist spot or something. people live there, goddamn it, show a little respect you slobs.

[Documad]

Dear Canadians including but not limited to Lindsey: I am sorry. Americans aren't all that bad. The visible ones are bad. You wouldn't notice the good American tourists like me.

I love cheese, but I never get any on my sandwich at Subway because it has no taste, so why waste the calories?

I think of American cheese as the individually wrapped orange tasteless slices that melt good so my mom made me grilled cheese sandwiches out of them. But at Subway, the American cheese is white, isn't it? That used to be the only cheese Subway had.

P.S. I rue the day that Brueggers started making god damned salads because it takes five times as long to get through the line now with all the individual salad tossing. :mad:

[Bob]

haha americans
did they say "god bless america!" after every sentence?

we don't always say that, sometimes it can be exchanged with "white power" depending on the situation :rolleyes:

[Lindsey_1535]

They pushed a cute biek over for no reason I felt bad for it.
ANNNNd DS is corrrrrect aboot the cheese.

[ToucanSpam]

No offense Documad but you come off as someone with a rather high opinion of yourself. :D

[Bob]

must bite tongue

must not start international incident :rolleyes:

[Lindsey_1535]

haha americans

When I went to europe we traveled with some US school and they sent us an email and at the end they wrote god bless america! CRAZZZZY YANKS!!

[zorra_chiflada]

i saw canadians playing jenga in a pub once
they were emo

[Bob]

jenga

there's a game i haven't played in 10 years

i bet it would be fun if you had to drink every time you knocked something out

[ToucanSpam]

jenga

thats a fine drinkin game there

[Lindsey_1535]

Mario Party is good when drunk as well. Games get hard.

[Documad]

Cha!

Read the loner thread -- there's no one I enjoy as much as myself. :p

[ToucanSpam]

hahaha I remember that...kind of :D

[Documad]

Make fun if you want, but there is nothing wrong with having a high opinion of yourself, as long as you're correct about how awesome you are. I'm truly awesome.

When I travel, I see myself as a kind of an ambassador of awesomeness.

[ToucanSpam]

I'm definately not making fun of it, I just see it as a rare thing.

[Documad]

I'm definitely not making fun of it, I just see it as a rare thing.
Well, I deserve it. :D

but it doesn't make it any less true

[jackrock]

Olives are delish...fucking delish!
olives smell like diahrea, i am not kidding! (n)

[hardnox71]

Auto-fellatio?
Documad is female.

Now, back to the cheeses. No one has mentioned Swiss cheese yet. Now I am assuming (and taking a big risk in doing so since we all know what happens when you assume) that there is Swiss cheese in Canada. I mean, Swiss cheese is everywhere, right? So why isn't there any American cheese in Canada?

That's kind of prejudice, dontcha think? Can't we all just get along?

[Paul Kemp]

I think swiss cheese is only called that in america and canada and called emmentaler everywhere else. pretty stupid to call it swiss cheese when switzerland produces several hundred different varieties of cheese

[SobaViolence]

cheese is stupid.

marijuana is where it's at.

this has been a public service announcement for awkwards anonymous.

[Ace42X]

Documad is female.

Self-fisting?

[hardnox71]

cheese is stupid.

marijuana is where it's at.

Yeah, but when you sprinkle it all over a ham sammich it somehow just doesn't taste the same, ya' know?

[hardnox71]

Self-fisting?
Be nice.

Documad is a pretty cool chick. I think you just misread her. And she has a very good reason to think highly of herself. She very educated. She's a lawyer for Chrissakes.

I think it's possible for one think highly of ones self without being conceited.

Get to know her before you start slamming her. Especially with tasteless and extremely derogatory remarks.

[Medellia]

it takes five times as long to get through the line now with all the individual salad tossing. :mad:
*giggles*

[Documad]

Hardnox, you're very sweet, but I'm sure it's all in fun. Sometimes I'm a pain in the ass on purpose.

It's reminding me of old times here--getting mistaken for a man again. :)

[Auton]

Bob and Documad are the only people in this thread who don't come off as idiots. well, and me of course, because everything that comes out of my mouth is gold.

edit: oh geez... I can't believe I contributed to this thread going to three pages

[zorra_chiflada]

gee thanks

[hardnox71]

gee thanks
I was thinking the same thing but I decided to just let it go.

[Sarky Devotchka]

ha ha, milk sometimes comes in pouches in Canada, ha ha, nerds.

AMERICA RULES!

Hardnox, you're very sweet

I see we are making friends everywhere we go.

What's really sad is that they were probably on their 'best behavior' for you Aussies, Tzar, so imagine how they are here at home. That's why after one or two jobs in the service industry years ago I swore I would never work in that industry again.

[zorra_chiflada]

haha

[Sarky Devotchka]

bleh, people do talk too loud in america. I'm always accused of talking to softly. Although, my boss is from Pakistan and he talks really loudly in broken english (even though he's been here over 15 years). He whispers on the phone though, and says, "hello?" when he calls after you've already greeted him with "hello?" when you picked up...it's very annoying. my former co-worker used to say to him, "hey! you called me!" heh.

here's how it goes:

*ring ring*

me: Hello?

*pause*

him: Hello?

me: uh, yes, hello?

him: what's going on?

me: nothing, it's only 11:30

him: no orders?

me: no, just working on production

*pause*

him: ahhh, can you hold please?

*long pause*

*muttered expletives by me*

him: hello?

me: yes

him: ahhh, I had something to ask, but I don't know, let me call you back

me: yeah okay

*click*

*fist pound*

me: gah! I hate that fucker!!!!

[buddylee]

I want government cheese. thats the shit!

lets not get into mayonnaise that is just sick.

[The Notorious LOL]

often times in faraway lands I simply say "please lay atop my sandwich the variety of cheese manufactured in the country which is the least homosexual and all around the best place to reside because we'll just ruin everyone elses shit first" and they always go "american cheese it is!" and then they blow me for being american.

[synch]

Great. Now I crave mozzarella.

And brie.

One question by the way. Is a cow involved somewhere in the manufacturing process of american cheese?
