Default Death of American Cheese?


"Millennials Kill Again. The Latest Victim? American Cheese"

By Lydia Mulvany and Leslie Patton

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...a-s-big-cheese

First paragraphs:

American cheese will never die. It has too many preservatives.

But its melting away.

One by one, Americas food outlets are abandoning the century-old American staple. In many cases, theyre replacing it with fancier cheeses.

Panera Four Cheese Grilled Cheese
Source: Panera Bread

Wendys is offering asiago. A&Ws Canada locations switched to real cheddar. McDonalds is selling the Big Macs soft, orange square of American cheese with a version that doesnt contain artificial preservatives. Cracker Barrel ditched its old-fashioned grilled cheese. So did Panera Bread, replacing American with a four-cheese combo of fontina, cheddar, monteau and smoked gouda. The result: higher sales.

American cheese is an ingredient were looking to less and less in our pantry, said Sara Burnett, the chains director of wellness and food policy...

(snip)


I never liked it - it sticks to your teeth!

And one time, when I asked the tall, stocky middle-aged man at the deli counter "what cheese ends do you have today" he kept balking - and asking "what type are you looking for for?" I finally said, coldly: "The reason I'm asking is, the last time I was here, someone tried to slip me American cheese when I SAID I didn't want it."

Used to use it all the time, now I will buy some of the others like a
sharp cheddar or a 4 cheese blend that is good.

I used to use it more often. Now I use cheddar more often.

The type of cheese depends on what I'm using it for.

I use [American] Cheddar, I use American (not the individually wrapped
slices, the kind you buy at the deli counter). I use Asiago, I use
Swiss, Gruyere, Fontina, Brie. It depends on what I'm cooking and the
usage for it.

Process cheese and American cheese was a product of its time. It was a way of extending cheese and turning it into a product that is easily transported, and was easy to cook with. It was cheap, had a long shelf life, and did not need any refrigeration. What's not to like?

I don't know American cheeses, but I love French cheeses. Especially
the types that start talking to you when you look at them.

They're multilingual, but with a strong accent.

I've been craving English muffins, toasted with cheese, with or without a

I'm not a cheese snob although I have found a few to be too sharp or mild
for my tastes. I generally buy whatever I find the best deal on. If I get
something that's too sharp, I can mix it with mild or vice versa. I do keep
certain ones almost all the time. Those would be med. cheddar, Swiss, gouda,
mozzarella, Parmesan and Feta.

Yes, they tend to taste better than they smell. Or else nobody would
eat them, I guess.

Once when I was buying some Parmesan Reggiano the deli person told me when they are shredding Parm Reg that customers have remarked "What stinks?"

I think kraft singles taste good if you let them warm to room temp.

Kraft Singles are NOT CHEESE!

They are much like that which oozes from a can and is pasteurized processed cheese food spread! And SALTY.

I am a self admitted cheese snob but i stock the common things you list
as well.

Meantime, a bean pot!

So it's a little chilly and feels right.

16oz White beans
1.5lbs 'seasoning meat' from the Farmers Market (foot of Dam Neck)
1 large onion
1TB minced dried garlic
3ts granulated roasted garlic
2ts garlic salt
2ts Tandoori blend seasoning (fairly spicy)
Water to cover plus 2 inches for now, add more at need later

Set in crock pot on high for now. Totally sniffilicious!

It wasn't all that long ago you claimed you couldn't *find* Swiss cheese
in the stores near Bothell. You seemed to think there was some sort of
shortage. I guess they've straightened that out. Now you're a cheese
maven.

I can find it now. Where I couldn't find it was when I lived on Staten
Island. Some of the grocery stores here are small and don't stock a lot of
variety. I must have looked at one of those. Winco has their own Swiss in
blocks. Cheap and good.

I was never allergic to milk. I have food intolerances that come and go.
Currently only eggs. My Dr. wanted me to avoid dairy for a problem I won't
get into here. Dairy was *not* the problem. The problem was my Dr. not doing
the correct test. I am seeing a specialist now and eating dairy.

Default Death of American Cheese?

One thing to think about is that on cooking shows on TV, they never, ever, use American cheese when making some sort of dish. I've never seen Emeril or Alton Brown make a cheese sauce out of American Cheese. It's always Cheddar or Swiss or some other type of cheese, never American. Even when making a cheeseburger, they always put anything but American cheese on it. Many restaurants, I would think, would not even keep American cheese on hand, because even if you order a grilled cheese or a ham and cheese omelette, it's probably Cheddar or Swiss (if you so desire) on it. Even for a Club sandwich, most restaurants probably put Cheddar on it. Personally, I doubt I've knowingly eaten American cheese in 20 years. I think most people associate American cheese with the cheese wrapped in plastic and with processed stuff like Velveeta.

I am a self admitted cheese snob but i stock the common things you list
as well.

Meantime, a bean pot!

So it's a little chilly and feels right.

16oz White beans
1.5lbs 'seasoning meat' from the Farmers Market (foot of Dam Neck)
1 large onion
1TB minced dried garlic
3ts granulated roasted garlic
2ts garlic salt
2ts Tandoori blend seasoning (fairly spicy)
Water to cover plus 2 inches for now, add more at need later

Set in crock pot on high for now. Totally sniffilicious!
==

Please describe 'seasoning meat'?
