Isn't it technically a "processed cheese product"? Why eat something so intensely boring, when there is so much great cheese out there?

Why eat something so intensely boring, when there is so much great cheese out there?
- YinglingLight 8y agoTake pride in what you create, rather than what you consume.
- KozmoNau7 8y agoI make amazing food, using quality ingredients.
- Pfhreak 8y agoI used to agree with you. Then I read this: https://www.seriouseats.com/2016/07/whats-really-in-american-cheese.html https://www.seriouseats.com/2016/07/whats-really-in-american... The answer to your second question is: Texture. The way process (not "processed") cheese melts is definitely different than similar cheeses. There's a gooeyness and meltability that's unique for applications like a grilled cheese or burger, and good process cheese is just cheese that's been melted with a few salts. It turns out there are many different American cheeses: Pasteurized Process Cheese - Various cheeses melted together with an emulsifying agent. Pasteurized Process Cheese Food - Mostly cheese, but with a higher % of 'the other stuff'. Pasteurized Process American Slices - Not actually cheese. A vegetable oil horrorshow.
