I live in the country, and when I went to USA I found it amusing that a sandwich's ingredients include "Swiss". (No mention of "cheese")

It's like saying "cheddar". Cheese is assumed

There could be more to it; some processed cheese products can't legally be named cheese.

Cheddar is a small town and a gorge in Somerset, UK. I live close by.

Switzerland is an entire country with sodding great mountains and lakes, multiple towns, cities and a lot of worryingly loved leather clothing.

How on earth can you reduce a nation that supplies the rather lovely Swiss Guard to the Vatican and rather a lot more (that word is working quite hard at this point and perspiring very heavily) to the entire world to ... cheese.

I suggest you don't apply for any jobs in marketing. Your talents will be wasted, should any be found 8)

The context of the thread is "swiss" on a menu in the US, which makes it obvious that it's cheese, and not a guard at the Vatican, same as cheddar on a sandwich is obviously not referring to an English town. It may shock you to find out that things are named differently in different places. smh

I mean Switzerland in the USA is mostly know for cheese, chocolate, Nazi gold, money laundering, and tax evasion.
