[net.cooks] American Cheese

djj (07/30/82)

At this late hour, the brain works in mysterious ways.  This is going to
nag me until somebody out there can fill me in.  To wit,

     What is the origin of the term "American" cheese?  Was there such a
     thing before 1776?  Did Chris bring it over on the Santa Maria?
     Etc., etc., ...?

If this is of net-wide interest (I REALLY doubt it), please post.  Lacking
that, mail would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
