It has taken me nearly 27 years to try "plastic" cheese out and I'm in love with it now. Why do so many people hate this shit? When it comes to a cheddar-like cheese this is now my go to rather than the dry stuff they sell in delis.

You must be american. Cheddar not only tastes better but it melts just as well if you're a competent cook.

It tastes bad. A mix between tasteless and processed. I also think the texture is pretty weird. It's not pariculary 'popular' in the uk. People may expect a burger to have it but it's not taken seriously in any other convention.

Cheddar is cheap in the UK

Also I love beans on toast, I don't care about appearing classy. When will yanks just admit their beloved cheese is actually a joke to the rest of the world.

This is what you fail to understand, Britbro.
Nobody in america thinks it’s the “best” cheese for all uses.
It isn’t some source of national pride.
>People may expect a burger to have it
Yes, exactly as you said, it’s good for melting in burger applications. As such, it’s similarly good for melting in sandwiches.
>Cheddar is cheap in the UK
Cheddar is cheap everywhere. And it’s great for things where cheddar is the best option. If you think cheddar is the best option 100% of the time, you’re as retarded as someone who would say american cheese is the best for everything.
>actually a joke to the rest of the world.
I’m not sure how much of the non-Europe world you’ve traveled to, but I’ve had to stay in all manner of shitholes because of my job. If I can find any cheese at all, the available options are american cheese and/or cheddar.

There are so many levels of autism here.

Firstly : "World famous" and Mexico are not the same thing. There's a reason Europe doesn't import american cheddar.

Secondly : Pic looks disgusting. The cheese itself is bright yellow full of colouring and looks unatural. I bet it tastes just as unatural as it looks with the signature processed aftertaste all american cheese has.

Thirdly : American cheddar is an oxymoron.

Fourthly : If you did have such amazing cheese why are americans so hesitant to use it. It seems to me the quality of your cheese and the amount of cheese-like products invented in the US are probably correlated. The UK would never adopt 'cheeze whiz' for example.

so i consider buying it a waste of money but if you want to put it on a borger or somewhere where it adds a touch of meltiness for the texture, that's just fine, i'd eat it.

Chopped, some chemicals so everything "glued" together and voila : a "schnitzel". Saw a doch last year the took things like pieces of bones, liver, kidney, eyes, tongues, mixed it with chemicals and did them in a Form in an oven. On day later it looked like perfect roast meat. With some extra chemicals tasted like the one from supermarket... Not super good but OK.

this is the only time cheese singles work.

However other cheeses can also work well. In fact you can even caramelize the edges of the cheese and keep it melted on top. Edam or emental would work and still have a mild flavour. Properly browned cheese is a hell of a flavour though.

It's good for melty applications because of emulsifiers or some shit, sodium citrate. Makes it melt without breaking.
