  • American Cheese

    Is this just an American phenomenon, or is it possible to buy it elsewhere in the world?


    Just how popular is it outside the United States?
    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

    Little slices of processed crap wrapped in plastic? Only here that I know, and I've traveled some.

      Sliced cheese, yes.

      Is there another special ability attached to it?

          American cheese being what? That tasteless, processed plastic crap like cheese slices etc? Yes, we get that in the UK.

            Yes, I believe it's what McD's uses.

            Lancer, don't you remember the days before "individually wrapped slices"?

            I remember when I was a kid, My parents would always get a pound of american cheese at the supermarket deli, which would be sliced off a large square log of cheese and wrapped in paper. It was white (unlike the yellow cheese seen in the cartoons), and had fine ridges across the surface, left by the deliman's cutting wheel. And it was the best thing ever grilled on white Wonderbread.

              Is it just called American Cheese?

              I mean here we have hundreds of different varieties of cheese which are all English.

                  MM, my dad was Swiss, we used Swiss cheese, so no I never got to try American cheese logs. Glad you liked it...

                  Come to think of it, I have Swiss in my fridge right now. Ever try Swiss grilled on eight grain wheat? (Left coaster)
