The closest you'd get to "American Cheese" is cheese slices, which there are plenty of in Tesco, "Kraft Singles" might be what you'd be best with.
Tesco also sell Mountain Dew, but if you get a random one that doesn't, you can go to ASDA, who do it.
Sodas with sugar are how you used to make them in the US. Most Americans prefer them the way we do them, didn't you like them?
And by vegetables in your burger do you mean onion? It's easy enough to find ones without, but onion is just seen as a common ingredient in burgers, adds to the flavour and texture etc.

As for "sir"... we don't use it often because it's generally seen as patronising.

>> No.4225156

There are American cheeses (ie cheeses that happen to be made in the United States) that are actually good. But what most people are referring to when they say "American cheese" are those shitty processed slices that hardly qualify as cheese.

No need to say "hardly qualify as cheese", as those products do not qualify as cheese. By law, they can not be called cheese, as they contain too little actual cheese.

If a Brit calls you sir or madam, he is insulting you.
Same when saying "With all due respect..." All due respect actually means "You are a fucking idiot mong...".

We have these little ways so that strangers don't realise they have just been insulted by our impeccable manners.

It's still sold in UK shops, but I think legally they have to label it as "cheese flavoured matter" or "cheesy product" etc.

I'd say we have food standards and because it doesn't have enough actual cheese in it we can't label it as such. But with the recent problem with Horse meet...

>> No.4225293

>>4225286
horse meat problems are on imports only

the fact that Britain was the only country to detect what was going on shows the rigorous testing standards of our food industry.

There is no question that these products are also being shipped across the EU.

the fact that horse was in there in the first place shows the rigorous failure of our testing standards.

>>4225297

No it doesn't. The horse meat was in there because the hungarian (IIRC) meat producer cheaped out and sold horsemeat as beef. To them horse was cheaper and the other company didn't see the difference.
