There oughta be a law against.... (1 Viewer)

We may have talked about this before. I'm nothing if not repetitive. Plus, I'm old and forget things.

But, I think even the not real cheese has it's place. I would not put it on a hot dog or a burger for that matter, but there is something comforting about it on a grilled cheese sandwich. Probably has to do with the association to childhood. I feel the same way about a McDonal's cheeseburger. It's not really food or a cheeseburger, but there is an association with childhood that somehow makes it "good". Although I usually go many years between having one.

"Real" American cheese is basically unaged cheddar (sometimes with emulsifiers to make it melty). It's delicious.

And, I believe I've made my position clear on cheese adjacent products.

American cheese has no place.. it’s not even the fact that it’s “fake” that bothers me, it’s the taste.. that horrid plastic taste.. id be willing to wager you dont even like the taste of it on ur hot dogs, it’s just some type of weird nostalgia you might have about your sweet old Uncle Fred who used to put Kraft slices on ur hot dogs when you were a kid or some such nonsense.. it has no place .

Huh, today I learned that other people know what I like more than myself. Who would have known?

You've certainly made your position clear on the canned cheeses.

But if sweet Uncle Fred would have topped my hotdog with feta or blue cheese when I was 4 years old he probably would have had a hotdog on his face.
Until you're old enough to aquire refined taste buds, American cheese definitely has a place.
