I know a guy whose last name is Salami. He told me he once worked with a guy whose name is Bologna. Sadly, they worked in an office, not a deli. mmm ---

> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > American Cheese I know this is now an oldish thread, but ‘American Cheese’? I assume you are American, with a German username. In which case I have to make the leap of logic that you have German heritage. Germany is next door to Switzerland, the veritable home of cheese. Schweiz would condemn you, the world cheese-eating community condemns you. Only the USA has your back. I have eaten “American Cheese”. I have also eaten a “Big Mac” at a McDonald’s in around 1984, when I was 11 and really wanted to eat a burger from there. The cheese was some form of yellow sauce that had no flavour and was probably sprayed on via aerosole. It looked terrible and it was terrible. I was not a gourmet at age 11, and it was still horrific. I imagine that @Der_Trihs is not a cheese farmer, so this diatribe is not meant for him specifically. Just a general suugestion to cheese suppliers to be better. ---

In which case I have to make the leap of logic that you have German heritage. As said, my username is Red Shirt spelled backwards; the name of a character from the webcomic _Schlock Mercenary_ as it happens. I’ve also had it mistaken for a Dutch name. I _am_ American with German ancestry, though. ---
