I don't even eat cheese but I hear blue is the best colour.
In reply to Peabody :
That is true. But the cheese in question is, in fact, mold. Yes...mold.

I used to hate bleu cheese, but I started eating it because it's great for your gut flora.
Now, I mostly kind of tolerate it.
Daytime Running Lights suck. People drive around at night without cutting their headlights on, leaving the back of the car totally blacked out, and because of the DRL giving them some forward visibility in the dark, they think everything is fine.
It's not fine!

Yummy, delicious, tangy, delightful mold, yes!

I will admit that I am guilty of the above from time to time in my van. The instrument cluster is illuminated all the time and DRLs are on all the time so there is no real indicator to the driver that the lights are off! It's dumb.

You guys aren't allowed to have an opinion on cheese of any kind.

I've eaten American cheese too and although by no means a cheese-o-phile most of the ones I tried were fairly reasonable and at least comparable to what we make here.
On another note a late friend of mine was an award winning cheese maker and once described with great glee that the virus used to make blue cheese is closely related to toe jam 🙁

"American cheese" is cheddar that has been processed to make it more shelf stable when presliced, and better for certain types of cooking.
Don't believe me? Here's a Canadian making it from first principles. (Tl;dw? It's Cheddar with water added, and two sodium based additives to keep the cheese and water emulsified long enough to solidify)
I don't like the stuff myself. About the only thing it's good for is a grilled cheese sandwich or a cheeseburger, if you're out of Swiss.
In the 70's Blue Cheese dressing was $.25 additional at the restaurants and my twin sisters would ask my parents permission to order it.

We got pulled over in a rental because we were guilty of it. The DRL were brighter than my wife's 2004 Corolla's headlights. When we got pulled over, we were in a neighborhood with no street lights. I pointed out to the cop that we could see everything in front of us, including a deer in the woods about 50 yards away staring at us.
Which brings me to my next rant: the headlights today are way too berkeleying bright.
In reply to RichardNZ :
"American Cheese" refers to a cheese-product, not Cheese from America. It is the best melting cheese and the best cheese for a patty melt or smash burger with grilled onion. Otherwise I'll pass on it.
Old age is catching up with my dog, and I'm not at all ready for it.

I've moved to using Havarti or Gruyère in place of American or the average cheddar cheese.
Havarti melts nicely for grilled cheese and burgers and is naturally lactose free, so less stressful for anyone that has lactose issues .
Gruyère will also melt nicely, but has a bit stronger taste that makes a good replacement for the typical store cheddar and is also naturally lactose free (similar to Swiss and many hard cheeses).
Logged into my credit card app to see if I paid my bill this month. I did. But I looked over my charges while I'm was there.
$31/month combined for Disney Plus and Hulu, both ad free. Dana pays $18/month for HBO ad free. So $50/month between the two of us.
Hey that seems high. Go into Disney's website
I just bundled Hulu, Disney, and HBO, ad free, for $30/month.
Bastards.

i watch a lot of YouTube through mobile and Xbox/Smart TV so I can't run ad blockers like on a desktop.

I was being facetious. I don't eat cheese because it's disgusting. Blue, or bleu, if you prefer, is a whole 'nother level of disgusting.
I think 'American' cheese used to be referred to here as processed cheese food, or cheese food product on the label.

I'm sorry to hear it, Wally. That can be almost tougher than actually losing your pet. And I know this particular dog means something extra to you.

US management has their head so far up their own ass they think we are going to get a ton done this week. Oh but we are waiting on Australia for drawings, CAM files and physical components to actually do anything. I'm so done with this berking job, I wanted to spend this part of the year on the beach again.
Be very careful about leaving a job these days, I was fed up with a job I'd been at for 3 years last year and got let go from it in the fall (of 2023), and now over 100 carefully-targeted job applications mostly for jobs I'm very well-qualified for later, I've had one interview, one offer for an interview (it turned out to be for the worst job in North America, an Amazon delivery driver, so I turned it down) and zero job offers. And those are totally normal or even better-than-normal numbers these days. Most people with jobs have no idea it's happening and many wouldn't believe it is if you told them, but the data to prove it and even articles discussing it are all publicly available.

This from a nation that thinks macaroni and cheese is "dinner".
Sir, you forget yourself!
In reply to DarkMonohue :
The word (dinner) has different meanings depending on culture, and may mean a meal of any size eaten at any time of day.
For most of my youth dinner was considered to be lunch. And lest we confuse a manufacturer's product name with what a nation considers so.
