Yes, it is a little know fact that when we renamed "French Fries" as "Freedom Fries", the French retaliated by renaming American Cheese "Merde"

I doubt the "bacon" in those cheese slices is actual bacon. Probably more likely just "bacon bits", which are usually crap flavoured pieces of soy.

i honestly dont know why this hasnt been inveneted earier. I mean, its so...obvious.



And for all the american cheese haters, it has its place, so eff you. While I wouldnt eat it straight up, its engineered to melt perfectly and consistenly. Find me a better cheese to put on your burger or an omelette. I tried all types of shredded cheese on my eggs and NOTHING beats a kraft single.

Swiss, cheddar, havarti, or how about mozzarella? Any of those cheeses are better than a kraft single. Kraft singles are for the homeless who can't afford refrigerators. It is literally the worst thing on the planet. I'd rather eat toxic waste from Rod Steiger's anus than Kraft cheese.

Can't beat the Double Coronary Bypass from Atlanta's very own the Vortex. A one pound burger "Topped with two fried eggs, six slices of American cheese, and eight slices of bacon, all served between the two grilled cheese sandwiches that we use in place of the regular hamburger buns."

A more apt term would be 'ersatz'. Simulacrum implies some external referent, usually abstract. I don't intend to be the philology police, but in this case the misusage was a bit overt.

In the world of meat-art, there is nothing more abstract than beggin' strips. And the usage is correct.

How about a meatpaper coffee cup?




And really, those patties in the Double Down should be sandwiched between 2 waffles to make a fried chicken and waffle sandwich with syrup and powdered sugar.

american cheese is totally a manufactured food. Yes, I saw the modern marvels food tech on it. But it is engineered to be the gooyiest (sp?) most meltable cheese out there.

I love havarti, but on a burger it is lost.

It's not cheese, stop calling it cheese. Call it a "processed cheese food" if you must. If meltability is your #1 goal then perhaps you should consider coating your burger in candle wax. I prefer to have cheese with taste and texture, not that plastic tasting and waxy feeling crap they use to swindle children out of their hard-earned pocket money.

Why would you eat that? Nearly everything on it is disgusting, from the american cheese to the white bread to the grilled cheese sandwiches to the tater tots. I understand this nation's obsession with gigantic foodstuffs but the food in question should at least be good. That is bad for you, it would taste terrible, and you'd probably shit bricks of steel the whole next day after you ate it. Pass.
