Was thinking about this too. Have you seen what's in you're local stores & how does it measure up to how you last saw them?

an incredible lack of variety almost everywhere, including the whole foods, krogers, and publix almost everywhere. there are some places like the Whole Foods of Watefront in DC that have a selection about as good as any grocer in Europe.

What Americans don't understand about this, and the reason why they become so passionately angry about this topic, is that yes - you can go to Publix and find a cheese carousel. It will have a lot of cheese. "Look, here is a lot of cheese! I see Cheddar, Cheddar with a bunch of shit added, some goat cheese, white cheddar, white cheddar with jalepenos..." and it's like a list of maybe 6 or so cheeses and then those same cheeses blended with additives. The main thing is that there's quite a few (more than just bagged, pre-shredded cheddar) and a lot of it.

In Europe, every single region of the entire continent has a specialty cheese. Some of them have dozens of specialty cheeses. This creates a huge variety that span a multi-dimensional range covering things like texture, softness, mold, sharpness, etc. There is basically a cheese in Europe that sits in every conceivable position on that multi-dimensional spectrum. If you are from a place, you buy local cheese. If you are a gourmand that needs something special for a dish, you can find it.

As a result, people have tasted quite a few cheeses and they have favorites. Their mom always fed them Limburger growing up so that's their favorite. There is no Limburger in the US. You get Brie or Camembert. Those are the soft cheeses in the US. If you want a soft cheese, you will eat Brie or Camembert.

One time I was at a market and there was a guy from Norway there. He was selling cheese wheels. It was a specialty cheese, made in Norway, specifically by his town, which his family had made for hundreds of years. I bought a huge chunk of a wheel and ate it over two weeks. It was very good, and not like anything I've ever had before. You can find people like him everywhere in Europe. There is one (1) state in the US that is known for making cheese, and because that state has to appeal to the taste preferences of the slovenly American public that mostly enjoys "taco cheese", that means Wisconsin is the home of the Cheddar Heads.

@Null I hope you take song suggestions for the show because I got a banger of a song to end off pride month for all our queer folk who listen to MATI

I'm allowed to get the ick from rape jokes.
This is all connected. The last effortpost I made credited @Null with drawing the connection between pedo shit and animal torture, and I haven't changed my mind about that. I'll refer to one of the superchats Josh didn't understand: "green flag."
Rape jokes are the opposite of that.

NRX/BAPturds are cunnyposters, grifters, and would sell your grandmother for Thielbux. Just check out the BAP thread.

It's funny how that isn't painfully obvious, but then again, these emotes are still here::'(:'(:'(

e.t.a.: backstory for the ones who want it -- the above quote was a play on the fact that Josh had a fit over loli emotes, then it turned out we had them here -- hilarity ensued.

Either something is an obvious red flag, or it isn't.

Clown rape jokes? In my Kiwi Farms?
 
I hope Joah is just trying to bait fellow burgers. We may not have special cheeses made from the milk of cows and goats who dine on a specific grass only found in some valley fed by a stream that contains a specific ratio of minerals, but we are not hurting for variety.

Muh cheddar.
These are some random cheeses that I could remember off the top of my head that I can get at my local chain store, not including multiple brands of the same type:

Gruyere, Kasseri, Emmental, Blue Stilton, Havarti, Fontina, Gouda, Mascarpone, Roquefort, and Jarlsberg. Not gonna bother mentioning other very common eyetalian cheeses that are everywhere.

Must be nice to live in a huge city. The average American does not have access to the stores you do.

And yes, not having cheeses made with milk from special breeds of cows that feed on special turfs is part of the lack of variety. I've never seen Kasseri, Blue Stilton, Fontina, or Mascarpone anywhere in the US and I do look.

But no, now that I'm here and actively visiting stores I've never even seen before and specifically looking for cheeses, please tell me I'm still wrong, still trolling, etc, because you (living in a large city) can find something more obscure than everyone else.

I like the Japanese "happy monday" system where all of their holidays fall on the Monday of a certain date. So instead of June 19th we should just make the monday of June 19th a day off and call it Freedom Monday.

Fun fact: New Jersey actually did something like this, setting Juneteenth as the third Friday of June rather than the 19th day of June. This causes the state holiday to not line up with the federal holiday.

Juneteenth is such a fucking stupid name.

I like to use the name "Emancipation Day".

I am going to continue to shill for Nathan Fielder and implore you to watch Season 2 of The Rehearsal
Click to expand...
Great show especially when it come to pilots, tons of blankfaced and absurdist comedy lots of cringe and autism, little bit of cucking but it at least treats it as disgusting and really fucking weird. It's only 6 episodes in the second season and you dont need to watch any of the first, the seasons are very seld contained. The second half of the show is basically all about what jersh was talking about in podcast about pilots mental health.
A tl;dw no matter how much the FAA claims to be more lax about mental health stuff almost every pilot is completely terrified of getting any sort of diagnosis or doing anything that will appear like they have a problem like going to therapy or getting any sort of treatment in fear of losing their license.

I can get all of these (save Kasseri, I’ll consneed on that one) at my podunk local grocery chain from the store that opens facing a corn field. Maybe Publix isn’t as far removed from Walmart-tier as people say.

I dont know what to tell you. To avoid powerleveling too much, the decent stores had these cheeses where I grew up too.

The town I grew up in had about 20,000 people at the time and was about an hour in any direction from any large city. Granted, Walmart, Food Lion (despite being Dutch-Belgian], Lowe's Foods and the like didnt have much on offer, but the local grocers did have nice cheeses.

Are online importers not an option? A friend of mine just had to have Manouri and bought some online.
 
Good cheeses are not universal like in Europe, but if you know where to look you can find some locally. In America, good cheese is for the audacious, not the masses.

I was gonna bring up pepper jack cheese because I had it a lot as a child— is it your contention that Monterey Jack, the cheese it was based on, is not anything more than a white rebrand of cheddar? Or do you mean something else? Because they sell this all at Costco.

If I had seen this I would have double checked in person, but my local Kroger website says:
No to Kasseri.
Probably to Blue Stilton

Boar's Head Fontina, so no idea how close it is to 'real' but should exist in many places.
2025-06-21_16-06.webp
Yes to Mascarpone

This is a Kroger chain store, but not Kroger, in the ass-end of nowhere.
Now, no idea if these are "Proper" versions of their specific cheese or American knockoffs.
 
I think that when you speak the word 'testicles' more times in a live stream than the word 'support' then that might be the root or, in this case, the taint of the problem.

Let's see if YouTube will allow this video to play on the site or if it will be blocked for for copyright reasons that are gayer than great Cthulhu chasing after a boat load of sailors during pride month.
