Conversation this morning at our favourite breakfast spot:

“What is cream cheese?”
“It’s that soft white cheese that you can spread on things.”
“Huh?”
“Like on bagels, when you have a toasted bagel lots of people spread cream cheese on it.”
“I still don’t know what that is.”
“It’s what’s in the middle of a Philadelphia roll, with the salmon.”
“OH! That. Ok.”

Man at next table: “SNORT.”

I guess it’s a little unusual to be able to explain cream cheese by referring to a Philadelphia roll. At least in the 5 year old crowd.
