Even though it's not a can, if I had to come up with a name for it, that's what I would say - pass the can of Parmesan. I just asked my husband and he agreed (I'm from Illinois and he is from Pennsylvania, if that helps.) But we both agree that we'd be far more likely not to refer to the container at all - we'd just say "Please pass the Parmesan." Hope this helps! :-) Interesting question.

It's driving me crazy. It's not a 'box', it's not a 'can', and you can't seriously expect people to ask "Can you pass the 'cylinder' of Parmasian cheese?" If possible, could you reply to me at johnjaneri@yahoo.com? Many Thanks. LKL: What do you call the container that things like Comet, Ajax, Kraft Parmesian Cheese, etc. come packaged in?
