You know what?
Fuck you I'm tired of pretending like I dislike American cheese or that it's the grossest thing to exist or whatever.
I'm tired of fags pretending they're too good for it
is it a great cheese? no.
But it's got its uses, no other cheese melts quite as well without just pissing grease everywhere, and no other cheese goes as well on burgers without overpowering the other flavors.
Fuck you guys American cheese has its place even if you claim to be too good for "muh processed foods durr"

That's the point, compared to most other cheeses when ranked in it's utility, flavor and healthiness it doesn't stack up to the competition. No one really cares though, put it on your sandwich and keep whining about it on 4chan

If you get actual cheese, it's fine. Nothing you couldn't find better alternatives for, but still fine.
The issue is that 90% of "american cheese" isn't actually made of cheese. People are rightly grossed out by that shit.
As long as shit like kraft singles and worse are commonly considered american cheese, you won't get people to stop shitting on it.

It's gross when it's cold or if you use too much, but a slice on a burger or egg sandwich or mixed with other cheese for grilled cheese is good. And it's basically just emulsified dairy products unless you get the cheapest shit from a dollar store or something, so there's no reason to be afraid of it and act like you're eating plastic.

A lot of it doesn't have "cheese" as an ingredient, but it's basically just thickened and emulsified dairy anyway. Honestly it's more like a slice of flavored bechamel sauce than cheese but that doesn't mean it's bad.

Look at all these American simpletons who think there is anything of value on their pasteurized cheese product.
Imagine feeling attached to something so objectively bad, imagine letting this attachment cloud your judgment to the point you feel the need to defend it.

There is nothing good about American cheese. The color is a calculated shade brought by an immature expectation of what cheese should look like, and achieved trough artificial means. Its only reason to be is some food scientist thinking to himself "Well, this is what cheese looks like, right?"
The flavor is a mix of placebo and regret. While freshness or careful aging create the complex flavors of cheese, this American parody lacks such privileges, whatever aroma it may have is purely coincidental, whatever illusion of flavor it may posses is only due to the dopamine high Americans get when eating something fatty.
The texture is like softened wax, because that is what it most likely is. It covers your mouth in a plastic-like fatty layer that Americans love confusing for enjoyment.
And by far the most pathetic argument I see repeated over and over again, the fact it melts. The characteristic often posted as the sole redeeming quality is something shared by almost all substances in the world, that things soften when hot. Almost all cheeses melt, not that you would want to as different cheeses are meant to be eaten at different temperatures. But the ones that are often melted are superior, they impart great flavor, fat and texture, just look at mozzarella with its milky flavor and stringy texture even after melted. American cheese only serves as a brightly colored layer of fat, might as well top your burgers with some butter, you will get much better results that way.

American cheese is the margarine of cheese. A publicity stunt for a cost-cutting measure that Americans ate right up and now feel a worthless sense of nostalgia for.

>>13734997
No, it's not about not wanting to like it, it's literally about not liking it. I literally can't like it, and god knows as a kid I wanted to. It was the only cheese we ever had in the house, my older brother fucking loved it, he'd just unwrap and eat slices on their own. It would be on burgers, in sandwiches, and grilled cheese was always done with these alone or my brother and dad would complain.
I couldn't stomach the stuff, it just tasted like extra-salty margarine with a hint of baby powder. Cheez Whiz (basically the less-solid form of processed cheese) was nicer because I could just spread a very thin layer on toast or sandwiches (like I would with margarine), but with a Kraft single (t. Canadian) you get that mushy rubber tile of salty stuff with no way around it.
Like, if it were a more mild flavour, maybe it wouldn't be so bad, but it overpowers tomatoes, it masks most sauces, and you can always taste it there in background no matter what it's in.
I mean, I know people like it, most people I grew up with did (one friend still swears by wrapping a kraft single around a banana, says it tastes like neither ingredient, but good. I will eternally have to take his word for it), and I'm sure it has a "place" somewhere (Poor people? The midwest USA?), but I refuse to buy or use them if I have a choice.

I liked them on burgers and one time I thought it'd be a good idea to get half a kilo to make sandwiches since it's so cheap and convenient since they come in slices

Never again

I realized American "cheese" was only bearable in burgers because it's drowned by all the meat and sauce, condiments and processed shit. In light sandwiches with ham, chicken and tomatoes and vegetables this shit is literally unedible
The taste is disgutingly obnoxious
Makes sense that it'd only appeal to Americans' grease-coated taste buds
