I’ve really only put it on some burgers, but would like to see what others like it with :D

      It fascinates me that you guys would have this stuff in a deli!

      It’s also not called “American cheese” in my country (NZ).

      It’s called “processed cheese” and strongly associated with children’s lunches, so most of it is packaged to appeal to children.

        Processed cheese is not cheese. It’s rubber that won’t hold air. It’s cheese product. The only acceptable use for processed cheese slices is throwing at your little brother. I wouldn’t even feed those to a dog.

          I didn’t say I don’t like it! It’s just not a deli food here.

          I have met a cheese I didn’t like, once. It was rubbery and tasted like soap. Unfortunately I had a kilo of it to get through.

            You know, I had Mozzerella that tasted strongly of soap before. I looked it up and apparently some chesses can start to do that after some variable amount of time due to some sort of chemical process. It would be worth checking if that cheese was supposed to taste like soap, or if it was going through the same issue I experienced.

            If you’re wondering, yes I still ate it, like hell am I going to waste mozz that I paid for

              That’s so interesting; I didn’t know about that!

              It definitely wasn’t supposed to taste like soap, it was a standard 1kg block of cheddar, which is pretty much a staple food.

              I still ate it too. Hey, we’re both still alive.

      Kraft’s Deli-style is pretty good, too (comes in a pre-sliced block, like what restaurants use for burgers). Just don’t get the Kraft singles, which aren’t nearly as good in flavor or consistency.
