American cheese is an odd choice. Dewey uses it for some sandwiches. I guess its an americana nostalgia choice -- hipster, like PBR and French's mustard. I like Cabot seriously sharp for most everything. But it turns oily when heated and american just sort of morphs from a solid to a thick liquid.
Both Dewey and Wylie like American cheese and say they like it for the flavor and texture. They do say it's "comforting" so I guess you could call that nostalgia.
its funny stuff. thankfully as a household we didn't use it. We had the vastly superior Kraft Cheese cheddar. I don't disagree that american cheese has its applications and can be really great
stick to your guns, bill. american cheese is garbage and anyone who says otherwise is garbage, too.
i didnt say it, you did.
oh, and kraft cheese if garbage, too. ipso facto.....
Kraft chunk cheddar was pretty much the best choice there was in grocery stores or supermarkets in the 60's and it was one of the only sharp cedars available. I don't think there were other options till we moved to NY. It wouldn't be my first choice now with Cabot available everywhere. The east village cheese shop blew the choices wide open. I think its funny that Dewey and Wiley use american and I'm sure it tastes great. on the other hand what else would you use on a tuna melt but american. (I've never had a tuna melt by choice.) and theres also that liquid stadium cheese for nachos and cheese fries. woof!
