It has a lot to do with the reason why Jersh and the Stooges think the way they do. Have they lived in real, country dark rural Europe anymore than in America? It skews perspective. I bet because many of the areas they live in have a hamlet vibe they think it doesn't count as rural.

He's mentioned a Kebab shop(and Internet), I don't think that counts as rural.

I live in a rural area outside a small town, but I have access to local meat, produce and dairy. Even the grocery store in town sources it's produce from local farmers. However I'm in the process of becoming as self sufficient as possible, with my own chickens, and eventually I will have pigs, goats and miniature beef cattle. Also two of my childhood friends work in a local bakery in town and that's where I get my bread if my wife doesn't make any.

I was just visiting old friends in my tiny midwest hometown with a population of <10,000. I went to the Walmart 10 minutes away and found: Provolone, Swiss, Mozzarella, Mascarpone, Parmesan, Blue cheese, Feta, Ricotta, Muenster, Havarti, Fontina, Gruyere, Gouda, and Brie. There are plenty of nearby grocery stores and delis that I’m sure have a bigger selection, but even shitty Walmarts in the middle of nowhere have more than just cheddar.

When I lived there, I got fresh beef and chicken that came straight from a farm a few miles down the road.

Europrices usually are per 100 grams. That's pricing for closer to 275 grams, since we usually just buy the whole thing.

If you're stating that we actually pay similar prices because we buy per 100 grams and don't just buy a small block (275 grams) outright, that is just simply wrong.

Below is a picture from a Bongland supermarket of Taleggio cheese, with price and weight. I chose this product as its the most comparable to one of the cheeses bought by CHARizard. It's the same cheese, same quantity, probably from the same region of the same country. They paid $10.99 for it, I would pay £2.75 (which according to google is $3.40). I also included a pic of their cheese so you can more easily compare.

That £2.75 is for the block outright, not "per 100 grams" of it. I think you might be a little confused here, our supermarket price labels do include a separate price with a simpler unit of measurement but that doesn't dictate the quantity we actually buy it at. That's there so people who can't math can more easily compare product prices of items with different quantities. You can see it there in the screenshot, where it mentions that, the £2.75 per 200 grams works out to £13.75 per kilo.

Also, don't you guys have to pay a sales tax on top of the price as well?

Jersh doesn't want to admit it but if people want to, they can eat quality cheese, meat and bread. Dear American kiwis, let's bury the hatchet and agree on that only lazy and fat people eat goyslop and don't see past that.

And I'll take my L here with that demonstration and comparison since you used and demonstrated using the same product. My only statements with this recent example is it's a testament to how artisanal assholes will accept uppricing bullshit due to it being an import and them being cunts who splurge for brand.

I'm going to as usual blame this on Californians and New Yorkers being retards with their money, since they're usually the source of shit like this. I will also state you can find non-imports at a similar quality for cheaper, but not as easily due to it not being foreign.

As for sales tax, it varies on state. Some have none, and all vary in percentage.

I fucking love cheese. I wish my job title was cheese sommelier and that I had gone to university to study cheese science.

I love gorgonzola, persian fetta, brie, camembert, gouda, edam, haloumi, paneer etc etc etc

Cheese is kind of like olive oil, just spend the money otherwise you're going to be eating American Tasty cheese goyslop and honestly.. lifes too short for that shit.

How much does it cost to buy American cheese in the UK? You can’t compare imported cheese prices to local cheese prices.

There is no sales tax on food in the US.

is import cheese from america even a thing? i've never seen or heard of such a thing here, but i barely ever buy cheese anyway so i wouldn't know.
i do know that american beef is imported to europe, but it's not usually available in regular grocery stores and supermarkets, i see it only at the specialized meat wholesaler that has a little retail store at its warehouse, there you can get that stuff. the american beef is double the price of local beef here, which makes sense considering it has to get shipped around half the globe to get here.

everything is a thing, but i doubt it's common.:\ maybe it is on countries that don't have their own cheese, but on countries where you have 20+ regional cheeses, why would you want an imported american one? unless its for something particular like a recipe:)
