I think “cheese food” is vile. One has to look very carefully, since almost all the choices are cheese food. Kraft marks a perfectly good real American cheese, but not all stores carry it.
“Kraft marks a perfectly good real American cheese, but not all stores carry it.”
Although I’ll deny it later, I buy “American Cheese” from Sams (in 5 lb. bricks, sliced, but not separately wrapped). It says “Cheese”, not “Cheese Food”, not “Cheese Product”.
So it is actually real ‘cheese’ or is it too inexpensive to be real ‘cheese’, per FR standards at least?
