Lying European trash

I'm looking at my label in the EU now and it's full fat soft cheese, guar gum, citric acid and that's it. Also, the milk is pasteurized and compliant with EU rules.

OP, your issues extend well beyond cream cheese marketing and the product's ingredients.

There’s nothing I’d rather do than smear the city of Philadelphia all over my bagel!

My secret eating behavior:

Ritz Cracker with cream cheese and a little glob of strawberry jelly.

I make a plateful on quiet Sunday afternoons and watch Law & Order reruns.

No idea where it started, but it has to be Philadelphia cream cheese....the solid kind. Not that whipped shit.

Elaine cooked hamburger with cream cheese for Mike Nichols when they first met, and he said that's how she won his heart. At least that's what the Elaine May biography I'm reading right now says.

I remember reading they only have whipped cream cheese over there, which makes American cheese cake recipes useless for them.

I regularly eat Philly cream cheese on bagels and toasted English muffins. Also love cream cheese and sliced English cucumber sandwiches. It cream cheese on toast was my favorite childhood snack.

I don't think what I get in my locale is whipped, but I can only get it in plastic containers. I bake with it by weight and it seems fine.

Well at least you made it a Trump thread in your post. We didn't have to wait until the ninth post to squeeze the name in there. Are you like that in person?

I can never get enough cream cheese. I’ve been on a salmon and bagel binge lately and I slather it with cream cheese, Atlantic salmon and butter. Hate away but that’s how I like it…

They have both whipped and regular, this is the Italian label with several additives which Europeans say they do not have, liars.

Spain

I assume it's labelled "Philadelphia" not "Philadelphia Cream Cheese" because cream cheese has different meanings (or no meaning) varying by country. In many European countries and in the UK the minimum fat content must be higher to carry that description.

Philadelphia cheese (that's just a brand name) is really a big thing in Italy. It also comes in packages that are pre-portioned which is handy if you use just a little for cooking or on your bread, whatever. Alternative: Kiri (The brand name is a phonetic thing and originated from French for laughing cow - La vache qui rit.)

Gripping update, r7

R1 is that fake British label? Did anyone see the video where they turned a tanker ship of rapeseed oil/canola oil into olive oil?

Yes stupid Americans can't say RAPESEED, it's offensive to them, mostly the cunts I assume, you know the CHILDREN, I hope they get raped.

[QUOTE]Atlantic salmon

I thought commercial and recreational salmon fishing is banned in the Atlantic.

Oh great, another cream cheese thread!

I like you, R4. I may need to develop a secret, too.

Why do you have to be secret about eating cream cheese and jelly on a Ritz cracker?

A brand name product has a slightly different formulation in a different country!

R17, there are huge salmon farms in the Atlantic which supply the majority of salmon consumed around the world.

R6 since cheesecake is made with ricotta, the Italians are all good on that point.

OP, you’re exhausting.

Italians can digest cow milk as a rule. They shouldn’t be eating it to begin with unless they want tummy trouble.

This is the ingredient list of the Philadelphia sold in Italy:

Pasteurised milk, Milk cream, salt, stabilisers (locust bean gum, sodium alginate, carrageenan)

Locust bean gum is a natural thickener extracted from carob beans. Sodium alginate and carrageenan are natural thickeners made from algae.

R25 What?

God, I hate that YouTube channel. Eva, is all about how Americans can't cook anything Italian the right way, her husband (an out of work film maker) fawns all over it like it's his last meal.

I love Italian food, but everything she cooks is so basic and boring. I don't get why they are so popular. How many ways can you claim pasta with tomato sauce is a different recipe when all you change is the shape of the pasta.

[quoteElaine cooked hamburger with cream cheese for Mike Nichols when they first met, and he said that's how she won his heart. At least that's what the Elaine May biography I'm reading right now says.

She actually suggested using it as lube when Mike fucked her ass the first time, but her editors thought that a little crass, so they suggested the hamburger story.

So, what happened?

[quote]Italians can digest cow milk as a rule. They shouldn’t be eating it to begin with unless they want tummy trouble.

What? Did you mean CAN'T? Either way you are wrong. Italians as most Europeans have been eating cheese for thousands of years. That's where most of the worlds finest cheese come from. Asians are the ones that lack the gene to process milk. Europeans evolved with that gene because they have been making and eating cheese even before the time of the Roman Empire.

[quote] God, I hate that YouTube channel. Eva, is all about how Americans can't cook anything Italian the right way, her husband (an out of work film maker) fawns all over it like it's his last meal.

I've watched several of their videos. She fawns all over him, never misses an opportunity to say "Harper" (his first name).

I've never been inspired by any of their recipes. Lots of oil all over everything.

Yeah, I stumbled on them long ago when they first started that channel. Apparently she was a teacher his parents hired on their trip to Italy. That's why she is so cunty about doing everything the right way. But she's southern trash, just like her cooking.

On a side note, now that they are doing well, Harper really needs to see a dentist about those teeth.

Americans are never going to start eating courses (at home), like how Eva espouses (no pasta and meat on the same plate).

She's always dumping on the quality of US ingredients yet there are better brands of cream cheese than Kraft. Tillamook and Organic Valley.

And what about mascarpone? Seems like that would be a huge upgrade from cream cheese. (No tang, though, and maybe it's a lot more expensive.)

Isn’t Neufchâtel cheese similar to cream cheese?

Yes, I think it's similar. But mascarpone is actually Italian, so why don't they use that?

Eva is the best! Fuck you haters.

Eva's hair always seems dirty to me. Not the best looking Italian woman we have ever seen.

OP, I fear the Standard American Diet is making you peevish. And fat.

[quote]She's always dumping on the quality of US ingredients yet there are better brands of cream cheese than Kraft. Tillamook and Organic Valley.

Dear Lord. I lived nearly 4 decades in Italy. No other country in the world has as many cheeses as does Italy. Philadelphia is a reality but in all that time I've seen it served only a handful of times, if that. Maybe as an ingredient in a sandwich you're see at a coffee bar. I think the only time I ever ate Philadelphia is in "American -style" cheesecake.

Italy has other soft spreadable cheese. Robiola and stracciatella are what Italians choose. Cheeses mostly unknown to Americans.

Don't they have marscapone?

I would buy fresh Robiola at my local cheese shop, but here is a commercial brand:

R42 Mascarpone too, but it's a looser creamy cheese, closer to thick cream.

That proves my point, her recipes are trash. Most Italians probably think that too.

I would never serve pasta with Philadelphia to my Italian friends. And I've never seen it. If you want that result, pasta with a creamy cheese, you use Robiola. It is a thing. Maybe Robiola and zucchini, something like that.

This funny guy is great. He speaks with a thick Livorno accent. Genuine traditional Tuscan cooking.

Il Bocca ......Pasta zucchine e robiola.

I absolutely hate cream cheese (why didn't I mention it on the icky foods thread?), but love the whipped version. It's so awfully heavy otherwise 😕.

…stracciatella Is actually a gelato.

chocolate chip 😎

R48 Stracciatella is a cheese, a gelato, a soup.

Yes did you not see that I was making a joke >> /j

Why is everyone so angry now, as evidenced by this persons rage over European fondness for cream cheese? And the hatred for Markle, that seems to be as bottomless as it is absurd.

Why are people so enraged?

R50 It's also a floor wax and a desert topping.

Sonoran or Mojave?

OP, I don't understand you. You're enraged because the Italians who have been (rightfully) critical of American food products actually found at least one they actually enjoy eating? You're mad about this, why?

If you're this pressed maybe I should call in sick and not go to work or school tomorrow just to be on the safe side.

R40 fuck you cunt, woman cunt for sure, I wear boys size 20 bitch, your oily slimey cunt can't slither into something small.

Get a grip, r55. Smoke copious amounts of pot or something.

For the UK cunts...

Philadelphia In the UK, Philadelphia is the dominant cream cheese brand in supermarkets, where it's often sold in oval tubs. In 2024, KraftHeinz's Philadelphia Cream Cheese was named "Best in Class" for cream cheese brands worldwide at the World Champion Cheese Contest. Then Germany, why are American products so bad, yet euroTrash demand them? Wtf

I’ve met several people from the EU who got batshit crazy about our convenience store snacks. One woman I know was crazy about Herr’s Red Hot Potato Chips, available in the mid Atlantic states. She got several large bags. They burn your mouth and leave your fingers a bright red, but so addictive.

A EU ban for smoked bacon 🥓 flavours is coming into effect and products are starting to be phased out now. Americans would go apeshit if this happened.

[quote] fuck you cunt, woman cunt for sure, I wear boys size 20 bitch, your oily slimey cunt can't slither into something small.

Oh, darling, I’ve seen so many average American boys, and wearing the same size as them is not an achievement you should boast about,

In any case I am sorry you have taken offence at me calling you fat. If it helps, I can refer to you as “heavy” instead? Or maybe “husky”? And I am happy to pretend that you have lovely skin or nice eyes.

Philadelphia is the only good brand of cream cheese. And the blocks are better than the tubs. So the Europeans have it right.

Correction: it seems the photo is misleading and they do the plastic contaibers over there? That's a shame.

“Philadelphia is the only good brand of cream cheese.”

A non-sequitur if there ever was one…

No bitch face cunt, I'm wearing 611 Levi's right now and they are not tight at all, no huskey either, your shit brain needs to try again, I look hot in my clothes, very hot even for a 58 year old, hows your fat gunt?

Oof your posting history is gross, r64. 🚫

HUSKY!

[quote] No bitch face cunt, I'm wearing 611 Levi's right now

Well, kudos to you, r64, for finding an elasticated version capable of accommodating your bulk.

Try Good Culture cream cheese at Whole Foods and experience cream cheese without guar gum and other additives. It makes a superior cheese cake.
