Please let us know where to find these variety of cheese. Why do you say cheddar is not a variety of cheese. If it's aged nicely with a good flavor, then it's cheese.

I am curious when you say cheddar is not a cheese. Is this just a French attitude or a Common European one? If this is a common attitude, what is an equivalent variety name?

Usually with the cheapest stuff they can find. I use proper ham and Emmental and plenty butter. French butter.

Well thank you both for your opinion but your both wrong! I looked it up on Google and Cheddar is a cheese originating from a village named Cheddar in England. It is an aged white cheese, unless annatto has been added for color. It is aged for at least a year to become a hard delicious cheese. If you are referring to the soft American stuff you are right. That is not cheese! It is processed milk and whey with additives to make it somewhat resemble cheese. Unfortunately with good advertising large corporations like Kraft promoted it as single slice American cheese. Or even a spray product from a can! Horrible stuff that ignorant people gobble up, because they don't know any better. You have to understand that America is a relatively new country compared to Europe. But now there are many excellent beer, cheese, wine etc. manufacturers there that produce an excellent product. So don't get an attitude that just because you come from a European country that only your country produces the best! Of course there are many excellent foods from European countries, but there excellent foods coming from America, Canada, Asia, Australia. NZ, etc. now. The problem here is refrigeration is relatively new. So they have markets daily, and cook daily. Dairy products have not been a part of their diet, so that is why here in Bali they have Margarine, and imitation cheese they use.

Green valley NZ mozzarella is an affordable and good quality cheese. Pepito and a number of other supermarkets carry it.

Cheddar is not cheese.[/QUOTE]If England hadn't saved the French's ass many times in the past and given old Doug Gaul somewhere to hide during the last unpleasantness with the Krauts those would be fighting words. We understand it's hard to be always the loser but you must be getting used to it by now?

In Hamburgers for instance It is even overshadowing the origin of the term "hamburger" from Hamburg, Germany.The same thing with sausages. Frankfurter which is originally known as German sausage came from Frankfurt in Germany, but after the American change the term to Hot Dog, it is now more popular than their Frankfurter origin. Likewise Pizza Hut, Domino Pizza they are now more popular than its origin Italian Pizza.Similarly, when it comes to whiskey and bourbon, American varieties such as Jack Daniel's have gained widespread recognition, rivalling the popularity of Scotch whiskies like Johnnie Walker.Do not underestimate Americans in term of foods. I think they still can not match their European Counterpart in Beers, Wines, Cheeses.

But I bet Canada has it down when it comes to moose burgers!

It's amazing how some people have such a snobbish attitude about others. They had better be careful walking around with their head held so high, when it rains they might just drown!

Hi, I am relocating and bringing a few items in, one will be an espresso machine (can't find it anywhere locally) What's the general feedback on brand new or second hand with duty and carring it in? Kitas not as yet, have a residence though and Pt. PMA.I've heard that second hand items are a no go now for fear of re selling, and if new (or second hand I guess) to have the recpt and under USD500Thoughts?[/QUOTE]Just an upfate the new regulation went into effect on March 10, 2024[URL]https://jakartaglobe.id/business/soekarnohatta-airport-restricts-entry-of-imported-goods[/URL][URL]https://en.tempo.co/read/1844650/soekarno-hatta-airport-seizes-hundreds-of-goods-as-import-restrictions-kick-in[/URL][URL]https://dataindonesia.id/berita/detail/bea-cukai-soetta-terapkan-permendag-362023-ini-daftar-barang-impor-yang-dibatasi-pembawaannya[/URL]

Negroes in America "participated" in the greatest cotton industry the world has ever seen. Germans "participated" in 2 of the only world wars. BUT...You get my drift?

Anyone looking to relocate to Indonesia might want to take a look at booking a cruise ship to the island and jumping ship here (most go to Singapore) as the baggage requirements are "fill your cabin".
