I was at the dairy section of the supermarket I use one day, looking for
cheese, and there were some American women (at least, they sounded
American) looking at the various cheeses, and expressing astonishment that
there wasn't any yellow cheese <g>. Is it only in the US that this occurs,
or is it in Canada also? Any other countries? The only cheese of that sort
of colour that I recall seeing here is Double Gloucester.
