    The 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:

      Where 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.

        Little Caesars is pretty darn good, considering it’s 1/3 the cost of any other chain.

          My point being that if someone didn’t like little caesars and concluded that pizza is bad, that opinion is terribly uninformed

      Lots of people only think of Kraft singles when they hear American cheese. Nothing beats a burger/grilled cheese with real deli style American cheese

        No, 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.

        It can be any color from white to orange, it’s Colby jack mixed with cheddar and emulsifiers

        More Colby (white cheese) results in a lighter color, more or sharper cheddar will give you more yellow/orange
