American cheese is gross full stop. ;-)

As is American chocolate.

You've been eating the wrong American chocolate. Hershey's isn't the end all and be all. There are plenty of good chocolate makers and even more good chocolatiers in the US, you just need to explore a bit. L.A. Burdick in New Hampshire, for example, makes really great chocolates, and has a nice wide range of single source bars made with beans from plantations all over the world.

true of cheese as well. Tillamook in Oregon produces fantastic cheese (which is widely vended). The way I think about it is that the average american food is poorer than average european quality, but that our best producers make some of the best in the world.

My European friends: “Hersheys tastes like vomit.”

The same people: “So I know it’s Halloween over there and um… can you send us some Reese’s cups?”

Cheese on fish is gross full stop.

Particularly on fish, I'd guess.

European chocolate tastes dull.

Snark aside, it's about what you grew up with. Fascinating video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J44svaQc5WY
