minus-squareMelodiousFunk@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·15 days agoThe wider world when they think of American cheese: yellow shiny shrink wrapped oily substance, wiggles like rubber Me thinking of the American cheese I’ve eaten all of my life: white, dry-ish, cut from actual blocks at the deli, feels like, well, cheese Dunno if it’s some regional thing or what. The only place I see yellow American is at chain restaurants. Also, related and timely: https://youtu.be/2ck8pXRrI7c
minus-squareDabundis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·15 days agoWhere I’m from, we have access to sharp american cheese. It slaps. Pointing to kraft singles and insisting that “american cheese bad” is like pointing to Little Caesars and insisting that pizza is a lousy food.
minus-squareBearOfaTime@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·15 days agoLittle Caesars is pretty darn good, considering it’s 1/3 the cost of any other chain.
minus-squareDabundis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·15 days agoMy point being that if someone didn’t like little caesars and concluded that pizza is bad, that opinion is terribly uninformed

minus-squareJusticeForPorygon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·15 days agoLots of people only think of Kraft singles when they hear American cheese. Nothing beats a burger/grilled cheese with real deli style American cheese
minus-squareEphera@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·15 days agoI believe, “American cheese” is just the name of the orange stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_cheese
minus-squareBearOfaTime@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·15 days agoNo, American cheese, the real cheese, comes in white and orange. Orange has food coloring added. Like some other cheeses. The kraft stuff is “American Cheese Food Product”, says so right on the label.
