    People think American cheese and think Kraft.

    People think American chocolate and think Hershey.

    People think American beer and think Budweiser.

    People think American burgers and think McDonald’s.

    They just know the cheap, bland international brands, but not the amazing regional stuff.

    America is a huge diverse place, with amazing food, amazing people, and amazing landscapes, but they only experience the cheap stuff, cause the best stuff isn’t made for export.

    Edit: they’ve never had Wisconsin string cheese where you can see the handprints of the person who made it, and it shows.

      I know it’s kinda “basic” but fresh cheese curds go so hard, it’s unreal. I genuinely feel bad for anyone who can’t get them fresh, it’s a life changing snack.

      This right here. It’s funny when Europeans trash our beer culture. My state has more beer styles and types than all of Europe. Not that European beer isn’t good, it is, but Germany isn’t going to brew a juicy IPA because of their antiquated laws. It’s different.

      They have great cheese, no doubt, but so does the US when you actually look for it. Guess what Europeans, we don’t like Kraft either.

        No, it definitely don’t. This says more about your complete ignorance of anything outside of the US than anything else.

        but Germany isn’t going to brew a juicy IPA because of their antiquated laws.

        And again this says everything about what you don’t know than anything else.

        Edit: You seem to be completely unaware that Europe had its own craft beer revolution decades ago (and yes also in Germany, where they do indeed brew lots of “juicy IPA”), which means that there are craft beer places everywhere, on top of all the existing old types of beer (which are already more types than exist in your state).

        Combined with the fact that Europe has over twice the population of the US means there are a whole lot more people to brew and consume beer than in the US.
