American Cheese Surplus Reaches Record High

I'm from the UK, but lived in Saudi for a bit and we'd often shop at a local American base where I was introduced to the individually wrapped plastic orange cheese.

I bought a pack of 10 slices out of nostalgia this summer to go on burgers but where no brie, Stilton, etc survived Christmas there are still orange slices of plastic cheese in the fridge. I couldn't manage the whole pack and no one else would touch them!

UK cheese is different from middle of America cheese. I remember being amazed by the cheddar selection at Sainsbury's. Cheap and delicious! Trader Joe's is the only place I've found a crunchy cheddar over here.

The UK does get those fake orange cheese slices too. I remember being given them as a kid, but have avoided them as an adult.
