What is your super power?

I’m so thankful Kraft moved to the states before developing the crappy cheese. Growing up we always referred to Kraft singles by the more generic term of processed cheese, so Americans didn’t get the credit.

While it does melt well and evenly, it has no flavor. Other kinds of cheese are usually the preferred choice.

And if I am eating something that needs cheese to melt evenly, I’m using velvetta and adding other things to give it flavor.

I also am far from a food snob and will eat practically anything and enjoy it. So my bar is pretty low and American cheese doesn’t meet that bar.

The sad thing is that my youngest boy went through a really short phase where he thought he liked American cheese but soon realized how unsatisfying it is. So my wife bought a big box of some 200 slices that is sitting in our fridge because no one will eat it and it takes forever to go bad.

When are we going to fight? I think we will need to schedule a time after I fight Green Monstah as he is doubling/tripling down on his aggression against American cheese.

He is a Canadian and therefore a commie. Ignore him.

You, the champion of all sorts of niche products and interests, from craft beer to the Oakland A's, are going to go to war over something as ubiquitous and low as American cheese?

Maybe it does have to do with my upbringing. Canada is very fickle about anything dairy.

The reason it is called Kraft Dinner and not Macaroni and Cheese is because Kraft can't legally label what they put in there as cheese in Canada.
I am shocked they get away with labelling Kraft Singles "Processed Cheese Product" (Doesn't that sound appetizing!), but I guess there was some form of cheese in there at some point.

Also make sure it is pronounced pro-cessed and not praw-cessed.

Hell yes, I'm going to war for this.

The breakfast sandwich sounded delicious right up until the words "American cheese." Throw a quality provolone on there, and it sounds perfect to me.

Agreed. But the correct answer is sharp cheddar.

Velveta - (American Cheese) is a great bait choice for German Browns - but I have to say that Tillamook Sharp Cheddar - is the perfect companion cheese to the hamburger.

My super power is a photo graphic memory of geographical travel and domiciles. I've had this since my youth - and with over 2 million driving miles under my belt - I can remember people and the places where I've been. I think it's part of my mental illness - as I have flashbacks everyday of the most obscure people and places that I've even been - with more than 50 years of adult data collection. It's been so bad that it started to drive me crazy - until I decided it was a blessing and that I needed to embrace the constant flow of memory.

See, Clack gets it. Look, American definitely has its place and I won't turn down a great BEC or burger because it has American on it (the meltiness being its best attibute on a sloppy bodega BEC). However, if you are going for perfect flavor combos sharp cheddar is the answer on burgers and breakfast sandwiches.

I have found it one of life's great paradoxes that America is the best country but the cheese named after America is one of the worst cheeses.

I listed things I like American cheese on.

As long as it doesn't congeal after melting, American cheese is okay. In some instances, it's great.

But the Dude's All-Star breakfast sammy needs a cheese upgrade. Think Celestial, JL!

I heard a professor from McMaster University on Dan McClellan's podcast the other day pronounce Jesus and "Je-SUSS".

That is absolutely uncalled for.

Dude, please don't use this one against my allotment.

Go fuck yourself.

To the barricades brother!

Seriously though, why are you guys messing up my friendly little thread arguing about the best cheese to use on breakfast sandwiches? Unless your superpower is starting pissing contests on chat boards.

I can do the "wave" with my eyebrows and the "dancing chesticles" with my pec muscles.
