Think i upset an American

[gaspode]

well i was filling the block cheese today, when the lady in question asked me if we
had any American cheese,well i stupidly said"its not something we sell but we have got some Canadian chedder" oops should not have said that, she then went into a ten minute rant on how she could'nt make her maccaroni cheese now.I refrained from pointing out we stock several dozen english cheeses that we have struggled by with for the last several hundred years.

Random Fun Fact: You know how they made American cheese?


First they make cheese (Mozzarella, cheddar, whatever). Then they take all the sections that they cut off (deformed-looking, too much for the packaging, etc.). Then they take the varied cheese parts and mix them in a vat. I can't remember the technical parts of how, but they blend the cheeses with food color, then package it as American.

(This Random Fun Fact was brought to you by the TV show "How It's Made", and the fact I have seen that episode at least three times.)

They have Canadian cheddar? And I thought cheddar was made in Cheddar.

OK, shoot me if you must, but I like to use Velveeta cheese for Mac and Cheese.
Also for grilled cheese sandwiches. :-)

But Velveeta has something a little different from normal american cheese. It reminds me of the government cheese (cheese that was given out in foodbanks, a whole log of it.) that we had when I was little. It's american cheese but at the same time it's not. There is just something extra there that isn't in american cheese anymore.

you know, you do so much for no other reason than your BF hates it I'm kinda surprised he puts up with you.

That and does he know about your online affair with GK?

Is there a rule where I have to stop doing things or eating things that I like because my significant other does not like it? Honestly, the guy can't stand macaroni and cheese period and, what, you expect me to never eat it again? I hate pickles, which he loves, does that make me a bad girlfriend? Does it also make me a bad girlfriend because I enjoy picking on him, which he does to me just as well if not better?

I can't stand computer games, for the most part. Yet he plays all the time. Should we break up just for this reason?

And, Oh My God! I'm having an affair with GK? Since when?! Do NOT insinuate such a thing, please.
