Why are Europeans so arrogant? Right now I can go buy an authentic plate of French brie, French camembert, Italian parmigiano reggiano, Greek feta and wash it down with French champagne, or I can buy the Australian and American equivalents and taste no difference whatsoever.

What makes them think food produced in one specific region of one specific country is any different to food produced elsewhere following the exact same process? Do they really believe only calves raised on the northern slope of a remote Italian mountain makes their cheese "special"? Autism.

We invented it. Your country is all but a copy.

>>220634877
americans will understand this if you tell them to imagine it like a trademarked product
if i'm buying nutella from the store it better be fucking nutella

>>220634921
this and the aussie spamming this shit needs to change the tune
>>
We've had this thread a billion times.
Why are you such a dishonest little nigger? You're attempting to mislead the buyer by falsely claiming your product was made elsewhere. If it's the same why do you need to lie to the customer?

>b-but we invented it!
OK? Someone else made it better.
>b-but it's not the same brand!
And? It tastes the same. Only turbo autists and turbo NPC goycattle care about brand loyalty.

>>220635024
>Someone else made it better
If it’s better, then there’s no need to advertise it using the supposedly inferior product’s brand name.

>>220634877
okay enjoy these 1000% trade tariffs on australian coal

Some knockoffs unironically use better ingredients.

>Our cheese is so good that we rely on stealing the identity of Parma to sell it to old geezers

Those brie, camembert and champagnes were given to us 2000 years ago
>>
>>220635024
>Someone else made it better.
If it's better call it Johannesburg cheese. Customers will flock to the markets to get Johannesburg instead of Camembert.
>>
There is more to life than eating Camembert and drinking champagne you know
>>
>>220634877
I saw this pic and immediately knew it was from the obsessed australian poster.
>>
>>220635129
this wine sparkles. if we call it champagner, we can scam more stupid boomers. if we call it sparkling wine, we may just commit the sin of doing honest business
>>
>>220635024
>Someone else made it better
Did they though?
>>
>>220634877
sparckling wine from champagne got famous for its qualities, just make your own shit with its own name and if it's good it will become as famous
you just want to use the name to cheat costumers and get imediate sells but you will never grow your own terroir like this, you will always remain a cheap offbrand knock-off
>>
>>220634877
>why can't I write made in france on a product made in usa
complete mystery
>>
Didn't EU recently sighn a trade deal with Australia forcing them to use our protected regional specialty designation system.
>>
>>220634921
You just hoisted yourself on your own petard
Companies lose the right to copyright their brand name if the brand becomes part of every day speech

Nobody calls it sparkling wine because that sounds retarded, champagne just means sparkling wine nos
>>
>>220635645
No, literally the opposite. Since that bullshit is what sank the deal last time the EU is going to include a carve out so Australia can continue using PDO names domestically. That will cause Italy and France to block the deal though so it will never pass.
>>
>>220634877
Just call it "Sydney hard cheese" instead of Parmesan and if it's good in a few year that name will get a good reputation.

We don't call our sparkling wine "Champagne" because Prosecco and Spumante are well established Italian names for that kind of wine.
>>
>>220634877
Good, you deserve it. You WILL buy the French cheese made in France. You WILL buy the French champagne made in France. You WILL buy the Greek feta made in Greece, and you WILL be happy.

Americans do this for bourbon and we have to call our booze that is made from the same ingredients, in the same way something else
>>
>>220640958
Bourbon tastes better than Canadian whiskey
>>
french cheese makes my farts intolerably stinky
>>
>>220641054
Many different kind of bacteria grow on French cheese which make up for intricate flavors indeed
>>
>>220641008
I wouldn't know, I haven't had much of either. But neither that or what you said disproves you being prissy little cunts about regional named goods just like the Euros.
>>
>>220634877
blud is not on the team. i have never heard any europoor complain about Australians you guys are irrelevant to them.
>>
>>220634877
yet another cheese seething thread?

why is this aussie so obsessed?

>>220641054
What about stilton? It's a drier roquefort basically
>>
>>220634877
the actual bread and cheese and beer and wine you can get in france and germany for cheap (worker's/blue collar wages) is so much better than anything you can get in the US for the same price

yeah we can get nice cheese and nice booze here but its fucking expensive, you can live off it in france and germany it's cheap staple food some of it's practically a free public service while still being really good.

our collective knowledge is our common heritage

reminder that because of climate and soil change the "original" regions for your products are no longer the original and in fact foreign lands produce the actual thing better than you do
