Hanging out a few days ago, the conversation came round to cheese. It often does in France. We all discussed our love for various French cheeses, and, finally, the question that always comes up, came up: What good cheese does America have? Some one had the brilliant epiphany that we have spray cheese (Cheese-wiz). Unable to come up with an exact translation, Kate explained to our baffled French-friends that it is "cheese that comes out of a whip-cream bottle." Shocked and bewildered one of them said, in perfect English, "You are the most powerful country on earth and you eat this?"
I think I might've redeemed us if I'd only been able to explain string cheese.
