  American cheese is the best cheese for a cheeseburger because it melts without splitting.

    I always go for sharp cheddar instead which I feel is close if not better… or Bleu cheese, although that definitely is crumbly.

    Just like the cheeseburger your mother could barely afford.

    The name brand in the US is Kraft Singles, but at least here that type of orange cheese is just referred to as American regardless of brand

    I’ve never heard of Chester cheese. There’s Cheshire cheese, but that’s quite crumbly and wouldn’t hold up to being packaged like this. You might also be thinking of cheddar. A genuine cheddar would be too brittle, but in modern marketing, cheddar is often shorthand for any homogenous, yellow cheese. So this stuff might be described as cheddar on the packet.

    I think this stuff is more of a cheese-flavoured sauce, that they inject into the bags and leave to set. It’s more an invention of the convenience food industry, than any culinary tradition.

    The British don’t know anything about food either.

  I have come full circle. I loved processed American cheese food (pacf) when I was a kid because I was a kid. Then I got into fancy sliced cheeses like cheddar and Gouda. But they don’t melt as nicely! So now back to pacf for burgers and melts because it is the best ingredient for that job.

  I still think its odd that people call that american cheese. Like, do people in the USA really want their name attached to that stuff?

    Forreal haha. I just call them Kraft Singles bc I refuse to acknowledge it as cheese.

      I just call it processed cheese.

  It’s delicious and who cares if something is real or not?

    Here’s the weird thing about that:

    Sargento Colby Jack at Walmart, 34.7 cents/ounce

    Kraft Singles at 31.1 cents/ounce

    That’s an egregious example because you can find better sliced cheese (store brand) for much cheaper than Sargento even, but still disturbing to see how expensive those singles really are.
