@JacksonLamb @SPRUNT 'American cheese' is a specific type of cheese. I think the closest thing we have in the UK, we'd call 'plastic cheese' but even Kraft cheese slices/Kraft singles aren't 'American cheese' as they have extra milk in.

Processed cheese is only called “American cheese” by Americans.
The rest of the world doesn’t call it that, and it’s strange to see that some of you take it on as part of your national identity.

Thank you. I did not realize their processed cheese was even worse than Kraft.
I’m partial to the odd Laughing Cow on toast.

Your assuming a lot. I just like cheese.
JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Then why were you calling it a criticism of America?
That does not make sense.

They said that in the broader context of saying they don’t think American cheese deserves the hate it gets. It was qualifying their defense of American cheese by saying they aren’t just blindly defending any criticism of America but honestly like the cheese.
