Why are Europeans like this? Right now I can go buy an authentic plate of French brie, French camembert, Italian parmigiano reggiano, Greek feta and wash it down with French champagne, or I can buy the Australian and American equivalents and taste no difference whatsoever.
What makes them think food produced in one specific region of one specific country is any different to something produced elsewhere following the exact same process? Do they really believe only calves raised on the sunny northern slope of a remote Italian mountain makes their cheese "special"? Autism.
I like these mouse peeepees hehe very nice fellow anonymous poster this kind of advertiser-friendly content is exactly what we need on 4channel

imagine drinking a bottle of water labelled Fresh Swiss Mountain Water but it was made from the US using US tap water

>What makes them think food produced in one specific region of one specific country is any different to something produced elsewhere following the exact same process? They can't beat the competition so they have the government try and stop it from existing.
Nicholas Jenkins
He seethes as he has no real argument. I doubt your bureaucratic Brussels overlords allow Australian parmesan into your borders but I strongly urge you to try it. There is no discernable difference at all, anyone arguing otherwise is a retard. A reminder: Australian and American-made regularly products top international competitions against their Euro counterparts.
Josiah Moore
Euros have nothing else to be proud of so they cling on to their legacy from the past
Brody Morales
A stupid argument too. They're genericised names, who is buying parmesan expecting it to have actually been shipped from Lombardy (unless specifically marked)? No one knows where half these "protected origins" even are on a map.
Wyatt Miller
If our stuff is so mediocre, why do you feel the need to slap its name on your own shit? Just come up with your own brands, and since it's so superior and wins all the international competitions, it'll soon become more sucessfull and get a better reputation than their european counterparts.
>A reminder: Australian and American-made regularly products top international competitions against their Euro counterparts. Good, then why try to pass them as their inferior European counterparts?
These have both been answeredThey're generic names. It has nothing to do with where it originated anymore, it hasn't for centuries. There's no need to make up pointless secondary names for the exact same product.
Aiden Hernandez
>There's no need to make up pointless secondary names There is if you don't want people to mistake them for their inferior European counterparts Otherwise you risk someone buying a Parmigiano Reggiano when actually one was looking for the authentic and far superior Australian Reggianito™ 100% Real Cheese Now Melts®
Nathaniel Barnes
>They're generic names. It has nothing to do with where it originated anymore, it hasn't for centuries. But... that's simply not true?
Jaxon Wright
fuck I hate the Anglo colonies. Uncultured swine, you are worth less than the dust between any Europeans feet.
The difference is evident by the logo slapped on the front, not the name of the cheese or champagne itself. You can know parmesan from 'A Company' is better than parmesan from 'B Company', you don't need to muddle it by having two different names for two different brands.
Christian Gonzalez
Both australians and americans are european emigrants. Come home european man
Jason Harris
You muddle it less by having two clearly different names That's why Samsung produces the Samsung Galaxy instead of the Samsung ePhone
Luke Reed
If there is no difference then there shouldn't be a problem not using regional names according to you, right?
If a company chooses to make their own name then that's fine, that's their independent choice. The issue is no-name towns in Italy and France using the European Union to bully and bash other countries to recognise their authority. The question can be turned around too. If Lombardy is so upset with being associated with Australian and American parmesan, why not change the name? Why does it fall to us to change? Lombardy has no better claim to the word than anyone else, words are free to use in the democratic world. I know that can be hard for you to understand living beneath the boot of Brussels.
Colton Nguyen
Yes it is. When you buy some gouda you're buying it for the gouda flavor profile, not because it came from some geographic area.
David Russell
I bought something like your pic not so long ago and it didn't even taste like Parmesan in the slightest. It felt like I was eating grated pieces of plastic Absolutely disgusting
Adam Evans
It has the flavour because of it's geography you dumb fuck
Jeremiah Gomez
One unit of sliced, perfectly aged perfection. Perfecto!!
Lucas Wood
THIS, would gladly fund a new world vs old world cheese challenge
>The issue is no-name towns in Italy and France using the European Union to bully and bash other countries to recognise their authority. Nobody is forcing you to do anything. If you don't like EU rules just don't do business with the EU >Lombardy has no better claim to the word than anyone else Just the fact that it was invented and produced there for longer than Australia existed >words are free to use in the democratic world No they aren't >I know that can be hard for you to understand living beneath the boot of Brussels I thought we were using the EU to bully you and now it is bullying us?
Henry Sanchez
You're buying the wrong Gouda There are 3 kinds of Gouda cheese that are protected and can only be legally produced in the Netherlands: Gouda Holland, Noord-Hollandse Gouda and Boerenkaas
Anthony Garcia
you are really stupid arent you? >suv not protected >bmw x5 protected >cheese not protected >parmiggiano reggiano protected there, is that so fucking hard? make any style of cheese you want, but give it your own brand and name.
Adam Martinez
kill yourself nigger kike
Matthew Cruz
and what it's made with, which relates to the geography and climate.
Jack Barnes
That does look like a good cheese. I hope you americans finally start making good cheese instead of using plastic slices
Leo Myers
why keep these European names then? why give them the fame when new jersey yoghurt, Tasmanian wine or northern territory cheese could with it's equal or better quality dethrone and outshine the inferior European equivalent and make your home nation renowned for their fine recipes with drinks and cheeses named after your states becoming famous and giving your own areas more clout and local pride?
Jose James
We've upped our game, our quality Grocers have very good selections now
>Nobody is forcing you to do anything >If you don't do what I like I won't play with you, btw this isn't forcing you :) Terrible argument. Not how the world works and you know it. >Just the fact that it was invented and produced there for longer than Australia existed Tradition has no control over the use of words. Language changes, boomer. You can't trademark a name that has been used outside of Lombardy for decades, centuries without any earlier objection. BMW X5 is a trademarked name, it was from the outset. Parmigiano reggiano is genericised. See above.
Evan Davis
An excellent improvement. At first I didn't want to live in the usa because I would miss good cheese too much but maybe it won't be so bad after all. All you need to do now is sell those cheeses to the consumers
Samuel Wright
Just call it "Connecticut seasoned cheese" or "Perth salty cheese" ffs!
If it's good in a few decades it will become a recognized type of cheese. And please no corn syrup, vegemite or other industrial shit.
Isaiah Nelson
... That's a picture of a grocery store.
Kayden Thomas
America is too fat of a country to not have easy access to every food
Isaac Perez
Anglo cuisine is trash because it descends from the worst of europe (uk). It is a sad life growing up in an anglo country for they will never know what real food tastes like that hasn't been contaminated by unhole amounts of sugar or salt.
Luke Diaz
Yeah even some of the bakeries are getting interesting(well for us)
>Terrible argument. Not how the world works and you know it. Then stop whining and deal with it >Tradition has no control over the use of words As long as people are willing to pay a premium for tradition (Patek Philippe, Ferrari, Champagne) it does
Justin Hall
Needs more good bread. That whole bread looks good but is way too expensive
Levi Thomas
>corn syrup, vegemite or other industrial shit. why those are local and unique to them as establishing it as uniquely American or aussie cheeses respectively making the perth or Connecticut new unique cheeses of their own and should be encouraged as something of their own, if you want to advocate separation go all the way if I take your local cheese and call it a unique Kildare cheese of it's own not to trigger you and add spuds shamrocks Guinness whiskey or cigarettes you can't whine about it ruining your nonnas recipe since it's a totally new cheese of your own just like you wanted.
Dominic Thomas
Yeah, it's sort of a high end store, but fun to shop at from time to time
>and taste no difference whatsoever. Did someone cut off your nose?
Michael Richardson
Imagine if Germans threw an autistic fit claiming hamburgers only could be made in hamburg.
Gavin Morales
Why should we? Calling it Parmigiano reggiano, feta or champagne has not been an issue so far. Everyone understands what it means. Changing it now would be an unnecessary hassle. Here, a compromise: how about Lombardy and Emilia Romagna start producing authentic Sydney parmesan? I guarantee no one here will care. We're not autistic.
Ryder Stewart
No?
Brandon Reyes
>I dont believe in regional specialities and their autistic naming regulations. There is only wine, cheese, bread, meat, fish. I dont give a fuck if the lobster is from wuhan or maine a lobster is a lobster
Widely considered the best cheese in this hemisphere >The 2018 ACS competition is regarded as the Oscars of the cheese industry. It receives nearly 2,000 entries each year; cheeses come from 259 companies in 35 states in the U.S. and five Canadian provinces, as well as Mexico, Colombia and Brazil.
Connor Walker
People call it champagne because it tastes like champagne, it followed the process of making champagne from vine to bottle. It has nothing to do with the champagne region anymore.
Luke Collins
i come from Champagne and i can tell you it is the real reason it is called Champagne.
You may call it, "Melbourne's sparkly wine inspired from Champagne" but that would indeed be a Sparkly wine from Melbourne.
Wyatt Young
>mfw Americans call cheese with holes in it "Swiss cheese"
Yes. Champagne's soil, techniques, and the people working it are unique in that regard.
good trade name.
Hunter Williams
I assumed "Champagne" was derived from a personal name before I heard about the extents of French autism.
Daniel King
Hamburgers are not specifically about the meat. it might use Aberdeen Angus beef though. Correct, you cannot emulate 1:1 the soil or climate conditions of the area that lead to the taste. Which is why Champagne, Prosecco and Cava do not taste the same.
Benjamin Torres
> Many people use the term Champagne as a generic term for sparkling wine, but in the EU and some other countries, it is illegal to label any product Champagne unless it comes from the Champagne region of France and is produced under the rules of the appellation.
