Zarex comes to mind for your cordial. It was a sweet fruit flavored syrup,
mixed with water and served cold, over ice. I've not seen it in years, but
the all knowing internet says it is still being made.

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!
Butter vs margarine - eeeeeeeew! There is NOTHING comparable to the taste
of REAL butter, melted on toast with a scrape of vegemite. Yuuuuummmo!
And
margarine just doesn't cut it! :)

Depends on what cheese you saw, and where you saw it.
If it was in one of the "old timey, mountain country stores" around
Grandfather Mountain, and the cheese was cut in wedges off a big wheel,
you
missed a treat, North Carolina red rind hoop cheese.
It's a traditional farm made cheese carried down from the days of spring
houses in back-woods "hollers" where cheese making was the only way to
keep
milk from spoiling before it got to market. It doesn't have food coloring
except for the red in the bees-wax rind (which you peel off and throw
away).
"American Cheese" has the same relationship to real cheese that margarine
has to butter. Both margarine and American Cheese have food coloring
added -
margarine because dairy farmers forced the U.S.
Department of Agriculture to require it to do so. The dairy farms thought
the color would be off-putting because butter is white.
Didn't work, and now butter often has food color added so it will look
like
margarine.
