Gregory's ServerRecently realized that "American cheese", as in the processed cheese you find on McDonald's burgers, is best conceived of as a cheese sauce that comes in convenient slices.

@darius Also the vegan versions are among the closest to the non-vegan ones, being that it's barely cheese to begin with @darius I'm a FYH fan but honestly at least for American cheese I don't know if there is much of a difference    @darius both American "cheese" and the stuff in jars and squeeze tubes typically come off the same production line and have similar ingredients. In fact the sauces and squeeze cheese often consist at least partially of off-spec/rejected american cheese slices. Also Americn cheese is partially made from rejected/reworked cheddar. so...Velveeta is the rejects of the rejects of cheddar... A lot of (maybe most?) processed/snack food was invented as a way to reduce scrap.  @darius makes perfect sense. It can also double for a yellow card in soccer. (saw a fan do this as a joke at Providence Park once and it cracked me up)  |
@darius the premier melting cheese imo
