Hey man, slow down with all that conclusion-jumping, we don't have all the facts yet. He might've fucked little boys too.

I'm European, living here now, would leave if I could.

i cannot put American "cheese" on my pasta.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago (5 children)

even as an american, american cheese is disgusting.

I can taste the emulsifier they add to it so it "melts" nicer.

I will disagree with pasta and cheddar, though. Mac and Cheese is wonderful. (well. from scratch mac and cheese. blue boxes need not apply)

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 week ago (19 children)

There is a time and place for Kraft mac & cheese.

Kraft Singles aren't American Cheese (like literally, they're legally not allowed to call it that). I wish people would stop associating the two.

Actual good American cheeses exist. A favorite of mine is Cooper Sharp American.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Kraft singles are the standard "American cheese", which is legally not actually cheese.

But yes, there are plenty of other perfectly good cheeses made in America. I think the US is best known for Vermont cheddar.

mac and cheese is something else, you wouldn't put parm on that. but practically every other sauce needs some real parm on top.

[–] BillibusMaximus@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago

You might want to reconsider the first part. While you don't want parm to be the primary cheese, a little parm added to homemade Mac and cheese really steps it up.

[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

They mean all cheese manufactured inside the United States, not the product titled “American Cheese,” as in the yellow slices like Kraft Singles, etc.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Go read a Kraft Singles label from any point in the last two decades and show me where it calls itself "cheese."

Have you tried sartori or belgioioso Parmesan? They aren't parmegiano Reggianio, but they definitely scratch a similar itch. If you're talking about "American cheese" itself then, yeah, you either know that that's not cheese or are living in ignorant bliss not knowing what cheese actually is

You’re supposed to put it on a burger/sandwich, not pasta.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I an referring to American cheese, as in cheese made in America, not kraft singles.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (19 children)

Well then you are just revealing your own ignorance to the world.

Humboldt Fog is the best cheese I've ever tasted, and it's from the U.S. Cabot Cheddar I would compare favorably to other cheddars, we have some good cheeses here.

Parmesan though? I would just buy less & still get the reggiano. Sometimes I just stand by the display and smell it, it is so good.

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Possibly one of the best cheddars in the world is from the US (and comes in a can)

Cougar Gold

I've had it, it's really good, and it keeps basically forever in the refrigerator, arguably getting better as it ages

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Your taste buds might be cooked 😂

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

It sounds crazy, but it is a legit cheese, it's even won some awards. It's basically a wheel of cheese that happens to be packaged in a can.

Washington State University has pretty big agriculture and food science programs, so they make cheese, and back in the 40s the us government gave them money to research how to put cheese in a can, so they've been doing it ever since.
