There are excellent American-made butters done traditionally. I hate that they're making me defend the US but they have no monopoly on shitty food. It's kinda just another form of exceptionalism.

There's no secret to good butter. Grass fed cows, fermented milk, and high fat content. It's just expensive.

Yeah, when people discuss american food they automatically think of off-the-shelf walmart stuff, mcdonalds, etc. When there are tons of artisanal food producers here, like a lot of them.

"American cheese isn't even cheese". I mean 'american cheese' is very processed. But go to Wisconsin and tell me we don't have good cheese.

There's plenty of good quality stuff in America. We just can't fucking afford it.

I was a big American cheese hater until I had land o' lakes American cheese. Shits actually pretty good

Time to share this nugget from the crusty vaults of my memory. At Kroger, the price tag on the shelf for their Land o' Lakes White American Cheese read: "LOL White American"

It's stuck with me for years.
