How can you limit yourself to a single cheese for every purpose?
It would be better to argue about which cheese is best for a specific purpose.
My favourite is Roquefort but I wouldn't use it on everything.

American cheese isn't bad, processed cheese product is. The original method of preparation (which isn't the way it's made today) isn't nearly as bad as you think it is. http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2013/01/22/diy-american-cheese/

False, processed cheese product can be delicious

The only reason it is called cheese product instead of cheese was that when it was first developed, the older cheese makers lobbied the government to define it differently in order to try and scare consumers

Pretty sure he means processed cheese, not every kind of cheese America makes

And if you were clear on that, then let me add that absolutely all processed cheese is shit, good only for grilled cheese (even then, a real cheddar or muenster is better). All of it. There is no variety among processed cheese, it's not like you prefer aged american or something.

Actually there's a slight variety. You can get processed cheese from a deli that tastes slightly less sickening than prepackaged stuff, but in the end it's all gonna taste the same once it's used in a grilled cheese or a cheeseburger.

Real American cheese is basically a really mild cheddar. It's a really good sandwich cheese.

This.
People outside the US have this notion that all "American cheese" is fucking Kraft singles. Simply not true. You can buy quality, well made American cheese that (like the other poster said) is basically like a very mild cheddar and is great for multi-ingredient sandwiches and burger and the like.

>> No.4579245

>>4579198
Yeah, when we talk about processed cheese, it means dried milk and cream of tartar that's been added to regular cheddar to make it mild, creamy, and more easily melted. Not necessarily a bad thing, especially if you're buying it from a place that makes it fresh. It's just the grocery store cheese that has a fuckton of preservatives and nasty chemicals in it.

If you can get American cheese at delis, it's a whole lot better than the Kraft shit. That said, it's really not a proper cheese. You couldn't just place slices of it out with crackers but fuck me, on grilled cheese? Burgers? Fuck yeah. I've had a lot of burgers in my life but I think the best is one with classic American cheese on it. Flavors work well with beef and it functions as a binder to keep your burger together. Other cheeses just melt away or get too oily.

American cheese does not equal Cheez Whiz and Kraft singles. Real American cheese can be great in the right applications. The good stuff is sold in large loaves and is sliced for you at a deli. It can either be white or yellow. The real stuff has more in common than Cheddar cheese than the Kraft shit people keep buying. It's by no means anywhere near the best cheese but the hate is unwarrented. Its perfectly acceptable for cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, mac and cheese, chili cheese dogs, sandwiches, and other assorted fares.

For me the worst cheese is Brie. I've tried it several times, different types. I've not liked any of them. Low flavor, and the rind tastes horrid.

One of the more interesting cheeses I had was a brie infused with Grand Marnier. It tasted like a creamsicle.

My favorite cheeses are soft cheeses (brie, herbed goat) and blue cheeses (roquefort, gorgonzola)

My favorite grilled cheese has herbed goat and cream cheese on it, with 3 other cheeses (I forget exactly, but I think 2 hard cheeses and another soft) tomatoes and bacon on grilled sourdough.

So good.

Pasteurized process cheese, which is made from one or more cheeses (excluding certain cheeses such as cream cheese and cottage cheese but including American cheese), and which may contain one or more specified "optional ingredients" (includes both dairy and nondairy items).

In other words, it's cheese that got an arbitrary label. There are lists of what cheese can and can't be mixed for you to call it cheese. Otherwise it becomes "Pasteurized Processed cheese"
