Has to be chocolate chip cookie dough not just any cookie dough

American here. I agree, that stuff is bad

You have been assimilated. Resistance is futile.

I am an American and have never, ever eaten this stuff in any form.

Well, it does. it has Butyric acid in it (it was added to make the milk last longer in the olden days), and vomit also has butyric acid. Dairy farms in Europe were closer to the chocolate factories, so there it was not needed. And now they just keep it in as Americans are used to the taste.

Plastic cheese. Even many Americans don't like it.

Just to check, I went to my local supermarket (UK) yesterday and noted that one sixth of the shelving was processed cheese, slightly less than that was dairy made, the rest was factory made. So it's clearly popular in many places.

Gross. American here.

Can these lists be original? Its the same s**t ever time.

Guess what? Most Americans hate it too.

I agree loved it as a kid not anymore.

A good quality American cheese (like Land- o-Lakes or Boar's Head Brand) really makes the difference.

Because it's the best for melting on burgers. And macaroni wouldn't be the same with real cheese.

As an American I can honestly say they only time I’ve ever had this was as a kid when I would go to a friends house that I now realize was very low income. Its cheap, has protein and calcium and picky kids will eat it 🤷🏼‍♀️

If you have to go fake, go velveeta

MMMMMMM..... so good in a melty grilled cheese! :) LOL!

Bleh

Processed cheese is like a trans woman. There are women and there are trans women. There is cheese, and there is processed cheese. If you quit conflating the two kinds of cheeses, you won’t worry about people eating the processed kind.

But is this purely American? You can buy it here as well (Germany).

You can buy that in Europe too. My Mom bought it when we were little. I‘m not sure why but I guess it is/ was cheaper than normal cheese.

It's definitely a price-point thing. But people also like that it melts easily, and the convenience of being preslicd and individually wrapped appeals to some people.

Some of it is fine, if you get the more expensive brands. You have to look out for the cheapest ones. You can tell because they won't have the word "cheese" anywhere on the packaging. And, stranger still, this non-cheese cheese doesn't melt... i think it's made outv of plastic.

It's okay when you can't afford those actual lovely cheeses and just want something to complete your sandwich or something lol

We call it American cheese

This is pretty much exclusively used for grilled.cheese.

The other cheeses, while better, do not melt like this cheese which makes a great grilled cheese.

There should be some kind of law against calling this garbage cheese. It's abhorrent.

Food snobs! Lol, ain't nothing like 2 pieces of white bread with kraft sliced cheese grilled in a puddle of butter. This was the first thing I learned to "cook" I still make them as a snack with a glass of milk.

I keep American cheese in the fridge -- it's perfect for disguising my dog's medication.

The only product that doesn't taste any better after you remove the plastic wrap.

Processed ANYTHING

You eat what the wife buys....

Because sometimes I just want overly-salty plastic cheese.

The standard bread in America is legally cake in Ireland

If you're not planning to eat lunch, sounds like a plan

Lobster is a bit less fancy in north America than in Europe. Until last century, it was deemed a poor man's meal, because it was abundant along the east coast and not very healthy (due to poor understanding on how to preserve and cook it). That's why it has been kept in informal recipes like lobster sandwich or the above.

OP doesn't speak for the UK. It's apples. Apples are great for lots of things. I use apple sauce in my pancake batter.

Spam, spam, spam, spam.......

Mac & Cheese is so easy to make from scratch, I could never understand why to buy it as a premade meal made with dubious powder that you need to cook the same amount of time as the original dish.

Many Americans, self included, detest this.

and the grotesque colours....

Yup deep frying everything is totally nuts, laughs sheepishly as a Scotsman.

It's like porridge but made with cornmeal. Very cheap and was a staple food fed to African slaves.

No wonder. Mexican tacos are great. Taco Bell is not Mexican food it's American food.

I'm not American but I love ranch

THANK YOU!! OMG, I HATE MAYO

The breakfast in the picture looks delicious

Many foreign visitors aren't aware of the doggy bag. It is completely common place to not finish your meal and ask the restaurant to box the leftovers for you to take home. When I visit family in the states one restaurant meal is really 2-3 meals.

This stuff looks exactly the same going in as coming out! Pure grossness

Yeah, American chocolate has an acid added to it that is also found in vomit. Not even joking.

If the water is hot who cares?

Luckily, Fair/Boardwalk Food isn’t a staple of anyone’s diet. It’s just a treat you have when you go to the State Fair or the beach.

I don't know a country that doesn't have all you can eat buffets. Including Germany
