Oh, no, I'm not talking "real" cheese here! I definitely mean the sliced,
square type that you find at Subway, Maccas (McDonalds) etc. aka Plastic
Cheese.
I am very well aware of the thousands of types of delicious cheeses
available world wide, me being a Fetta girl myself! Cheese is one of my
favourite things in the whole world!
I just thought of another thing too...
Cordial! No-one, and I mean NO one in the US had any idea what I was
talking about when I asked if anyone had cordial! We always have at least 2
bottles of different flavours in our house! It is a concentrated water
syrup stuff that you add about a cm of to the bottom of a glass and fill the
remainder with water. It is always a fruity flavour - raspberry, "fruit
cup", orange, lime, lemon etc. The closest American equivalent I could find
was "Kool Aid", but it is powder?!
I was SO excited to come home and have a nice big glass of raspberry
cordial! I guess we drink it like you guys drink Iced Tea - and it's just
not the same without a ton of ice cubes clinking around the glass!
As usual, this word has several meanings depending on where it's used.
In the U.S. I've always thought of a cordial as a liqueur but see it's
definition varies all over the place!
