Comment Re:and yet NYC still has traffic jams (Score 1) 882

I'd wager that if you look at NYC, northern NJ, and CT etc, that in any situation where you have a gazillion (scientific term) cars going down a road, that road can get a hell of a lot more crowded and still go at the speed limit, precisely because almost everyone is a jerk on the road here. I go to a place like, I dunno, Denver, and the roads get the teensiest bit crowded and it all falls to hell. I used to live in Denver and go back, I also go to Minneapolis (better), DC/Baltimore (horrible for some reason) and this is just observational, of course.

So yeah, the wager is that on any given road on any given day more vehicles can move without jams than less jerkier places.

Parmesan cheese in, say, Argentina - do they care about this? From the wiki article you cite above:

Outside Europe, the name "Parmesan" is treated as generic. The European Union campaigns against the use of protected European food labels by producers outside the designated region of origin, which might eventually lead to dropping the word "Parmesan" from cheese products originating outside the designated production region of Parmigiano-Reggiano.

It appears that Argentina also produces something called Parmesan Cheese:

I know it's cool to hate the US, but from what I gather, people in the US don't like cheese as flavorful as other places, on average. It's also kind of regional. Maybe that's why this "award winning" Parmesan from Wisconsin is aged 10 months instead of 12?

I'm just kind of rambling here, but is Argentinian Parmesan like Ralph Laurem?
