Dutch guy here. That's not cheese. Don't you dare place that junk in the same category as our holy (pun intended) gold.
I'm sure France, Switzerland and Italy agree with me.

Dutch girl here. There is absolutely good American cheese. It's a huge place and they have a lot of great cheese makers, just like how europe has some absolute crap. Go to the Jumbo and pick up some "White salad cubes" and tell me they're better than this.
That said, none of this cheese pictured is good, or even mediocre.
...and Austria and Germany.
France agrees with you but also looks down on your cheeses and calls all of them "Gouda" even if not from Gouda haha
Ah I don't mind. It's France, they only have Nice people in one city so I get it. And honestly, Dutch cheese is nice on bread but French cheese is a delicacy. Same with the bread. And I don't know if you ever had Dutch wine, but I'm deeply ashamed we even dared to name it wine.
nonsense. that's one meal.
If I could afford it, I'd eat that much cheese too.
It's just 90 eurocoins of cheese Michael, what is it, 10 dollars?
I came to the comments specifically looking for this joke 😂
American here. Actually this is only about half of the cheese I eat in a day.
I would need three times as much to fill the cheese drawer in my fridge.
Sorry, I may have skewed the numbers a little bit.
This is why it's important to use median, not average. smh
I wish.
The average american only eats 2 ounces of cheese a day.
Charles Entertainment Cheese, who eats 7 billion pounds of cheese a day, is an outlier and should not be counted.
please do not doxx me
When reached for comment, he replied "Please, Charles Cheese is my father. Call me Chuck."
Reminds me of a joke (kinda) thought I had years ago. Chuck E Cheese should open a fine dining white tablecloth restaurant called Charles E. Fromage.
Charles Edward Cheddarton's. He's a fat British mouse but runs a fine establishment unlike his American cousin.
I'm fully on board with this, provided they offer a prix fixe, 12-course meal.

Nice try, nacho cheese doesn't come in blocks
Hey this cheese isn't yours, it's nacho cheese.
we had a nacho cheese tap installed direct from the city
Where would a meal be without a tasty beverage to wash it down with?
NOW THAT'S BUENO, AMIGO
It's in their constitution.
The pound must have gone to shit after Brexit if this is all that 90 quid'll get you.
Thoughts and prayers for the starving Brits.
Have you considered they may be very fancy cheese? Although even still £90 for this seems like a bit much.
America has more varieties of cheese than any other country in the world.
While they can be roughly grouped into 3 categories (White, Orange and Mixed), America isn't limited like other countries to using different milk, surface treatment and aging. Instead they can produce unlimited variety by adding specific amounts of hydrogenated mineral oil, synthetic flavoring, modified starch extracts, industrial waste products and high fructose corn syrup.
There's no end to the ~~creativity~~ profitability!
It also helps that we don’t follow the protected designation of origin, so you can only make comte in one province of France, or literally anywhere in the US.

That's the average, I eat that for breakfast. My local deli has twice daily cheese shipments just to replace what I had for breakfast.
Nothing beats a sausage, egg, and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese on a toasted everything bagel.
