OK Pioner, now imagine smearing peanut butter on your cheeseburger!
Wow! It is tasty! (missing America). In Missouri we called them "gator burgers"

no, thanks. You guys got peanut butter from your childhood, so you got some acceptance of it. We do not. Also, I noticed that all amicans I met could not stand solted dried fish we take with beer.

hehe, Peanut Butter...I have seen a movie..."Meet Joe Black", a guy in this movie likes peanut butter, but i cant find it in my home town
We have here a chokolate butter, but i gues this is something diffirent...

I don't know, there are hamburgers and there are hamburgers.

The ones you make yourself or buy in your local family butcher's shop may not be unhealthy, but as for the mass-produced crap you can buy in the supermarkets or at MacWhevers, I wouldn't feed them to my dog.

And I am sorry, but there is no such thing as cheese in America. There are plenty of cheese-style plastic snack products, but no actual real cheese.

Hehe, you just have to know where to look for it
And be willing to spend a bit more..
But, I guess it's perfectly Ok to pay more for good stuff.

It is very different. Chocholate butter is testy, peanut butter, first of all it looks like baby poop and it i think it tastes similar, although I never tried baby's poop, but I am pretty sure that's the test.

Fresh cheese curds are delicious, and addicting . . . but yeah, you have to seek them out in the right locations. The closer to dairy farms, the better. They're only great when absolutely fresh - right out of the vat and no older than two days. This makes it difficult for transporting them too far, because they lose they're zing.

Isn't smoked fish - копченая рыба, popular in Russia?

there is smoked fish, very popular in Russia (I do not like it with vodka) and there is dried salted fish as well, which is a different product (my favorite with beer).

I remembered "French Kiss" movie when an American girl (Canadian actually) came to France:
- Did you know there are 452 official kinds of cheese in this country, isn't that amazing? To find 452 ways to classify what is essentially a bacterial process? Don't you think that's amazing?

well, a little bit offtopic, but I worked in marketing company in Uzbekistan, and we had on that, not very big market about 500 brands of shampoo.

I am not a fan of cheese, unless something, like for example, garlic added, it all the same to me.

I don't know if they're the same, but I tried grilled kippers (grilled salted dried herring) once on a trip to Scotland and they were actually pretty good. Now, I wouldn't eat them for dinner every day , but I'd eat them again for sure.

My american friends always complained that they are to "fishy". And they have no problems to eat sushi.

so russian food is more like fish,
hm, i had feeling that is somewhat similar to czech food

yes i would like recipes, one at a time, for traditional ones

Here, here! Not only that but the problem of no real cheese in America is getting worse. American made Swiss style cheese from the supermarket now tastes like Velveta. If you want to get real cheese in America you will have to buy an imported cheese from the imported section at something like $15 per pound.

I have given up arguing with restaraunts over the "cheese" they bring me. I just don't order anything with cheese on it now.
