  You’re responding to someone whose pont is really clear but to quote an article on the history of American cheese:

  The first step in transforming American cheese into the distinct entity it is today can be traced back to Switzerland in 1911 when Walter Gerber and Fritz Stettler developed the world’s first processed cheese by shredding Emmentaler cheese and heating it with sodium citrate into a firm, unified substance upon its cooling.

    So the term “Swiss cheese” for those industrial blocks is legitimate, it’s our fault 😔

    American cheese is fine, don’t conflate the real cheese (which is just Swiss without aging or bacteria) with Kraft American Cheese Food product.

    I’ve had American cheese that wasn’t the processed thing most people think of, just a cheese made from dairy, like any other cheese.

    The problem is in labeling - since American cheese can be anything from real cheese to the processed stuff, people don’t know what they’re getting unless they know the producer.

  And now I want fondue but the fondue restaurant here is usually booked months in advance.

    Sad panda noise 😔

    But if you can find the cheese it is really easy to do and homemade one as there’s 2 ingredients; cheese and cheese. Just use a machine to shred it because doing it by hand is not fun.

    Since I don’t drink and don’t want to go to another shop to buy shit white wine, I replaced it with cheap blond alcohol free beer, it’s perfect.

      A cheap blonde beer is a very good idea, thanks! We have premade mixes (and premade in a bag) here in NL, but I’ll be by myself tonight,. I will eat the entire pot of fondue myself. Which I think we all agree, is a bad idea.

        I don’t see any problem, say the guy who ate one (400g) alone 3 days ago 🙄
