Not when they are unfertilised as they usually are.

When I used to do my Mum's shopping for her, she used to regularly ask me to pick up some Tesco's value "cheese food slices", which were apparently low in fat ..... and appeared to also be low in cheese.
That stuff, and others like it, was known as pasteurised soap in our family when we were growing up.

I definitely don't ''heart'' hearts. Or I wouldn't if I ever managed to get a piece anywhere near my mouth.

I like just about all the beetroots, coconuts and capers stuff though. I've even been known to put coconut in porridge.

Guacamole should be renamed because there's never any mole in it.

Especially when it should be pronounced "whack a molaiy"

Sandwiches. They need a name change.

To be clearer, either in the UK or the US. Because they are completely different items either side of the Atlantic.

Anyone that has ever had a New York deli sandwich knows that the damned thing could feed a small nation. On the other hand, can you imagine the look of dismay/disbelief/disgust on the face of an American on ordering one in the UK - to be presented with a slice of cheddar between two slices of mighty white.

A name change is needed to avoid confusion.

Well the Yanks had better find a new name quick!

Have to say, when I was recently in the US, I was appalled at the bread there. It all tastes sweet, like sort of musty cake, unless you order sourdough. I had a quite high-quality turkey sandwich (yeah, with cheese, every bleddy thing with cheese) and the bread tasted of sugar. Sugar, sugar everywhere in that country. Yeuch.
