“Muttistan is a country that has few pleasures to recommend it. … [There is] no good borscht, no pizza or canned fish, no good cheese, no coffee or cold soda, no good bread or food in their marts.”

[Friedrich Hayek's Ghost]

You only need packaged bread mix and some water

Fix your shit. Prepackaged mixes are never, at any point, necessary in a kitchen. Keep the staples on hand, learn to make whatever the fuck you want for real, and try not to get fat.

Spoiler: Baking Autism

There's one exception, which is cake mixes. They coat the individual particles of flour in those in fat in an industrial process that's night impossible to recreate in a home kitchen. Professional bakers sometimes use them in place of some of their flour when they're going for a particular texture or crumb in their cakes, since you can't really do it in anything less than an industrial bakery. Also, puff pastry. You're probably not going to beat the store-bought stuff, and it's cheap to buy and tedious to make.

In my opinion, the best selection of the highest quality foods in the US (to include cheese) is at Wegmans. Unfortunately, Wegmans can only be found in the Northeast part of the US. I've been all over the world to many different high development nations and I would agree that the US is at the bottom when it comes to food. I'm interested to know what other Americans think of Wegmans and how it compares it to other grocers in the US. I've been to the other 2 big chains, kroger and whole foods, and I thought Wegmans was superior. I have not been to Publix. Walmart isn't worth mentioning. Of course they suck, they offer way more than groceries and most of their business is government subsidized through SNAP.

Fair enough. I'm still learning, so next time I might try using separate ingredients. The most basic mixes only have 3-4 ingredients anyway.

Must be nice to live in a huge city. The average American does not have access to the stores you do.

And yes, not having cheeses made with milk from special breeds of cows that feed on special turfs is part of the lack of variety. I've never seen Kasseri, Blue Stilton, Fontina, or Mascarpone anywhere in the US and I do look.

But no, now that I'm here and actively visiting stores I've never even seen before and specifically looking for cheeses, please tell me I'm still wrong, still trolling, etc, because you (living in a large city) can find something more obscure than everyone else.

I don't live in a city but I've seen every cheese you've named. I don't know where you moved too but it might be skewing your perception. I'd walk to my local grocery store and take a picture of the cheese isle but I don't want to PL if I don't have to.

If it helps look into the brand boar's Head (A/Link). They make and sell a huge variety of cheeses that are available around most of the US. I don't think they are offered in Walmart/Costco/whole foods but they are carried in most Albertsons/Kroger owned grocery stores.

How hard is it to find real bread in the US? All I see in the media is stuff like Wonder Bread, which is probably the bread equivalent of American cheese.

Almost all bread here is shelf stable bread, however it's not as bad as you've been given to believe, the most popular bread is white bread (like you would find on a McDonald's hamburger bun) but we also have whole wheat and whole grain and other options which are somewhere in the middle. You can also find fresh bread, as Null already said, although he complained about frozen dough and dried yeast. I have no idea if my local store uses frozen dough and I have no idea why it would matter whether the yeast has been dried. America has its own food culture that, like England, was highly influenced by the second world war. England forgot what real food is because of prolonged war rationing, and America became very prosperous after the war and our three primary vices are greed, pride, and indolence, so shelf-stable processed foods that require little preparation became very popular. Also, chemicals used to be viewed as healthier and higher quality than natural things, if you remember the "chemical burger" joke from MGSV, people probably would have actually bought a burger that called itself a chemical burger back then. Also I would like to reiterate that American cheese is real cheese, and basically tastes like a mild cheddar, it just gets a bad reputation because most of what is labeled as American cheese is highly adulterated with whey protein to cut costs.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that nearly everyone here who wants to eat fresh bread bakes their own, and the current thing is sourdough, which I'm not particularly fond of.

Depending on where you live it can be literally impossible to find fresh baked bread leavened by yeast. When I first moved back I wanted live yeast. I called up Walmart, a local pizzeria, and a local bakery and asked if they had live yeast. Walmart only had dried yeast and their bakery received its bread as frozen dough already leavened. The pizzeria received its dough the same way. The bakery only made sweets and had zero products that required yeast. The nearest whole foods was 90 minutes away.

this mf can retool haproxy-protection for custom bot mitigation, but can't into sourdough starter

To answer the Urologist question, urologists are unisex however you get urogynaecologists and andrologists that sub specialise for each sex.

Urologists also take over the prostate as it is both reproductive organ and impacts lower urinary tract function in men and urologists tend to be trained in procedures that reduce the size of the prostate to open the bladder outlet. They also can train in repairing hydroceles and varicoceles and orchidopexy so they get the balls too.

Also I would like to reiterate that American cheese is real cheese, and basically tastes like a mild cheddar, it just gets a bad reputation because most of what is labeled as American cheese is highly

I’ve found people who like to use American cheese as a gotcha tend to conflate it with margarine as well.

comes back to thread after a month
still talking about cheese

 

[LatinasAreTheFuture]

you would go to the urologist because your penis, balls, bladder, and kidneys are all connected by your urethra, and the evolutionary reason for why it got that way is a bit backwards seeming.

No. My tool cuts out silence.

You lived in coastal cities while still going to Walmart.

Nigger I've gone to Publix and hhgregs, you dumb fags refuse to accept that maybe I'm just right and what I see if different from you. You lack actual theory of mind, like a child or an animal or an autistic person. I keep saying this and you keep repeating the same thing. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about but still act indignant. I'd list every store I've gone to but I don't want to provide information I shouldn't on accident.

 

[Terrorist]

It's funny how that isn't painfully obvious, but then again, these emotes are still here:
e.t.a.: backstory for the ones who want it -- the above quote was a play on the fact that Josh had a fit over loli emotes, then it turned out we had them here -- hilarity ensued.

Do you know who those emojis depict? Hint: He is very much not an underage girl.

The Amish and Mennonites still make real bread and cheese, the stores that sell their stuff are usually called Amish markets no matter what they are.

 

[GeekUSA]

American food as an industry has been fucked over by the FDA imposing literally every restriction and strong armed law under the sun to penalize local grocers and farmers from producing and selling their own produce while promoting factory farming and the addition of chemical additives in our food. There's no reasonable excuse why Americans shouldn't be eating gourmet food every day while we have literally some of the most fertile and prosperous land on Earth. Go to a farmer's market and taste the difference between your store bought tomatoes and the ones grown by some family in the country, it's night and day.
