Waterslide Industry Lobbyist posted:Yeah a lot of people just say American cheese when they mean "American cheese food" or "American cheese product" and there is nothing wrong with American cheese thats mostly Jack or Colby. The pasteurized, processed cheese product that people think about often doesn't even have any dairy in it. It's just cheap oils turned into something vaguely cheese-like. That stuff deserves every bit of awful reputation it gets but it should quit tarnishing the reputation of proper cheese. Proper cheese is good. Of course proper American cheese is often little more than leftover milk fat taken out of all the 2% and skim we drink here turned into cheese.

When I was in elementary school I ate so much (sliced, fresh, deli) American cheese every single day when I came home from school (why stop at seven pieces? why stop at eleven? why wasn't I obese?) that I actually became constipated and the doctor ordered me and my mom that I mustn't eat so much cheese anymore. The poop cramps were the worst pain I had ever experienced in my life at that point and I have vivid memories of sitting, trying to poop, actively wishing, as a 9 year old child, for death to come and take me so that I didn't need to feel the poop cramps anymore. I could not stop eating the cheese, though I guess I eventually managed to cut back on it. I still loving love American cheese.

Can you get American cheese in England? Has it spread across the pond? We generally eat muenster and cheddar, but we always keep some American for when we need something that melts quickly or when the dog needs to take a pill. What other cheese can you roll into a ball?

They didn't even have hot peppers of any variety. It was green peppers, green onions, cheese, and fries. They were pretty good cheese fries but I want something so spicy it'd make me cry, drat it.

They sell American cheese slices in the Netherlands and they call it cheddar and they price it accordingly because the Dutch have even worse and bland baby palettes than Americans, but what do you expect from a nation who just ate kale and potatoes up until thirty years ago?

I'm sorry, but the cheese singles we get in the supermarkets over here are a poor imitation of American cheese, the Dairylea/Asda branded singles are some kind of weird partially set cheese paste. I've found the real stuff in Costco though (of course you have to buy it at like 200 squares a time)

I used to work with a guy that was from the UK and moved to Canada because his wife was from here. I was tell him one day about making BBQ ribs at home on my grill and he said that he hated ribs. After talking a bit more it seems that he thought all BBQ ribs were like the McRib. Once I gave him some actual, real ribs he was fan.

You can get decent quality American cheese from delis. It's good for melting on top of burgers but I'm not sure what else I'd use it for. e: I thought this was the anti food-porn thread. Maybe the real company circling the drain is cheese discussion.

Almost back on topic: a creamery outside of Seattle was raided by the FDA and later shut down because they refused to recall their cheese. Apparently the cheese cave was also the listeria cave, though nobody actually claimed to have gotten sick from eating $30/pound cheese. Ignoring the FDA is a great way to go from "successful artisan food business" to "circling the drain" overnight.

Sometimes i'll put a mixture of american and cheddar cheese on top of chili. The only problem is that when I eat chili like that with my shirt off sometimes the cheese gets stuck in my beard, neckbeard, and/or chest hairs. How's Cold Stone doing? Most of the local branches closed around me, which was kinda sad because I rather liked their cake batter flavor.

They seem to still be around but got hit hard in 2008, and some franchisees are slamming the company ("my exclusive area!  ") but that's the case for every company with franchisees.I see a ton of frozen yogurt places that have a decent selection of flavors and a ton of toppings, even in winter they are busy, and they must have a lot less overhead since you put everything together yourself.
