      Only because they’ve never had beans on toast. Well because they’ve only ever eaten American style baked beans.

      Do Americans even have toasters, they seem to think that a good breakfast constitutes a pile of butter and syrup, so I’m going to assume that they’re not prepared to eat anything that doesn’t have 300 kg of sugar in it.

        A British person should know better than to criticize food with actual flavor.

    So there’s a scene in A Goofy Movie where a guy gets paid for his part in some shenanigans by some edible substance in a spray bottle. Given that I was a kid in a non-English speaking country growing up and watching this movie dubbed to my native language, the substance that the character proclaims that he has received is ‘Caramel sauce’.

    It was only later in life, when I watched the movie with the original English language, that I learned that the character in reality proclaimed ‘Cheez-Wiz’.

    All of this to say that the concept of spray cheese was so foreign to our country that they decided to substantially change this scene.

    Looking back, I think they should have kept the original - gulfing down caramel sauce straight from the bottle just doesn’t hit the same as gulfing down spray cheese.

      I’ve eaten it once. More as a sort of, “let’s see what the fuss is about” than any real desire to eat cheese from a can. It was decidedly meh. Mostly I just remember it being really salty and not tasting anything like cheese, but it probably wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever eaten, either.

      Anyway, it’s always at the grocery store (in CO), so presumably someone is buying it.

    There’s a ton of degenerate things in Europe too. For instance, italians have a pizza with potatoes on top. Swedes like cheese inside their coffee. Swedes also like tomato sauce, cheese and i think ham paste off an aluminium toothpaste like squeeze tube. Swedes are absolute lovable degenerates.

    Germans have these devices which look like a massive cow tit to “milk” as it were, their ketchup and mayonnaise from.

        In Finland we have these at some restaurants, more often on a fast food places at the kitchen:

        Apparently they’re more convenient to use for the kitchen staff than a squirt bottle. Fill the thing with ketchup/mustard/mayonnaise and you can ‘milk’ appropriate amount of whatever on the dish. They’re not commonly used by customers, for obvious reasons.

        And cheese in coffee is absolutely a thing, but it’s not just any cheese, you need to have bread cheese.
