>Why not just buy real cheese?
Because American cheese is real cheese. You know real cheese has salt or other preservatives or flavorants added to it? Well process cheese has salts added to it too - salts with emulsifying properties. Anything advertised as “American cheese” is cheese, full stop.

And I use white American cheese because it adds a creamy texture and some fat to the sandwich for satiety, as well as a nice mild flavor that doesn’t overpower the flavors of the meat. Italian cold cuts often use provolone because it’s mild too.

>Makes sense, looks more like cheap brioche than an actual french baguette
Ha, I never said it was from France. But at the store it’s called French Bread and in America, French bread is a standard type. A baguette is similar but usually small and harder and chewier. And according to the ingredient list, it’s not brioche. https://www.kroger.com/p/bakery-fresh-goodness-artisan-french-bread/0004157322506

It’s just black forest ham. It’s the kroger brand private selection and it’s very good. And there’s no turkey in that sandwich.
