    @Njord @Sobex @catsalad Fun fact: La Vache Qui Rit is actually cheese. They take the leftovers and scraps left after processing actual cheese and instead of putting them in the trash where they belong, they melt it to get this (with some shit added for texture / taste). So, definitely better than American.

        @Njord @Sobex @catsalad Do the french find the description of the mascot as "The Cow Who Laughs" as ominous as I do?

        Americans call it "Laughing Cow". But we can be a bit dim at times.

            @Sobex @Njord @catsalad You are right to do so - it *is* cute.

            Adorably ominous. 😉

                  @robz @Sobex @Njord @catsalad It also has an interesting story. In French it sounds a bit like Valkyri and the name was invented to make fun of the German during the first world War (the valkyri was the emblem of the German troop transports).
                  Also notice how her ear rings are boxes of Vache qui rit containing also a Vache qui rit with earrings containing a Vache qui rit...

                    @catsalad Excuse me, but that's so-called "American Cheese Product".

                    Otherwise, I may have to report you to European instances (esp. French) for such a blatant insult to the proper definition of cheese.

                    It's far less cheese than Hershey's chocolate.

                    @Sobex @catsalad I believe that may be Hershey's "chocolate candy" now, speaking of trade language definitions.

                      @masterzen @Sobex @Njord @catsalad I *LOVE* learning stuff like this. I of course already noticed the earrings - our version has them as well.

                      But it endlessly fascinates me how culture and history creates artifacts like "La Vache qui rit" = "Valkyrie". The cleverness of humanity is often delightful in that way.

                        @catsalad
                        Now I want to know all about the history of American cheeses, how far back native recipes might go, and what colonial times have added.

                          @Njord @fraca7 @Sobex Is it listed as a cheese or a cheese product?
