If you do get American cheese, get some from the deli, it's much better than Kraft.
It fascinates me that you guys would have this stuff in a deli!
It's also not called "American cheese" in my country (NZ).
It's called "processed cheese" and strongly associated with children's lunches, so most of it is packaged to appeal to children.
Processed cheese is not cheese. It's rubber that won't hold air. It's cheese product. The only acceptable use for processed cheese slices is throwing at your little brother. I wouldn't even feed those to a dog.
All cheese is valid. Even swiss
It's kind of almost like a confectionary.
This comment makes me want to huck imported cheese at you.
I've never met a cheese I didn't like.
I didn't say I don't like it! It's just not a deli food here.
I have met a cheese I didn't like, once. It was rubbery and tasted like soap. Unfortunately I had a kilo of it to get through.
That's so interesting; I didn't know about that!
It definitely wasn't supposed to taste like soap, it was a standard 1kg block of cheddar, which is pretty much a staple food.
I still ate it too. Hey, we're both still alive.
Kraft’s Deli-style is pretty good, too (comes in a pre-sliced block, like what restaurants use for burgers). Just don’t get the Kraft singles, which aren’t nearly as good in flavor or consistency.
Even better: If the deli has Cooper Cheese, get that.
