I went to her profile expecting her to be the usual brainbroken conservative, and instead she's like, complaining about a reply getting removed because it had the F slur in it, but she also replied to one of Elon's AI-generated videos about his Tesla robot saying "Get the fuck out of here with this clanker bullshit", so I respect it.

I've gotta think this is satire. Any American that's ever had a burger has to know they charge more for a cheeseburger than a regular hamburger, regardless of the cheese type.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Tbf that's generally true everywhere

I would be more offended at being served American "cheese".

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Many people swear by american cheese on burgers, but I just can't do it. Cheddar is far superior.

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 day ago (8 children)

American cheese is just mild cheddar and colby jack, with an emulsifier added to help it blend together and melt smoothly. You can literally make bootleg American cheese by shredding the two together, adding an emulsifier (like sodium citrate) and heating until they melt.

That same emulsifier is what makes it so good for burgers. Aged cheddar tends to melt into clumps, and tends to get greasy as the milk fat separates out of the solids. The emulsifier helps the cheese solids and oils stay together, making it less clumpy and greasy.

Some nice mature cheddar, proper stuff from the west country.

I love different types of cheese, but on a burger the more important thing is the quality of the beef. Only time I don't mind American cheese. Plus it melts just right.

I assume if it's on a burger it's sliced cheese. Was is it white? Do they bleach it?

[–] Coolcoder360@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Cow Milk is white. Orange cheese is colored with annato. (Yes, yellow cheddar is colored with annato or other coloring. Same with yellow American cheese)

Natural unaged cheese color is the same as milk, white or a light off white.

White American Cheese .... is there such a thing? ... can it be called Cheese?

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago (3 children)

American cheese without the colorant, thus perfectly healthy

[–] db2@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (4 children)

American cheese isn't a bad thing when it's the amalgam of several other cheeses. When it's just oil and binders it isn't even cheese though. There's no good way to know before buying it since they can call both cheese.

It's still cheese "product" though, right?

Legally, in the US? Probably.

Try it on a European tourist as a prank.

[–] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

It depends but technically yes. American cheese is pretty simple, one or multiple cheeses blended with sodium citrate and some milk to create a very smoothly melting cheese. I actually made some myself last night by melting a bunch of very sharp cheddar cheese into some milk and adding a few slices of a decent American cheese to get the sodium citrate. I basically made a really good borderline cheese whiz for the sandwiches I made.

Kraft Singles, (which is what everyone likely has in mind for plastic fake cheese) however don't contain enough cheese as an ingredient to call the final product an actual cheese, there is a lot of milk powder added in that tips the ratios into cheese product territory.

[–] sudo@programming.dev 8 points 2 days ago

Made from white cheddar instead of yellow cheddar. Only difference is no annetto.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

It's a prepared cheese product! My uncle used to work at a factory that made it so I know their process.

It was only about 40% cheese, and the cheese utilized was a blend of the bits left over from making things like cheese sticks. This was combined with milk, milk proteins, and several emulsifiers to keep it from separating into oil and solids as it solidifies and again if it's melted.

Even the US won't allow it to be called cheese. It's called a "pasteurized prepared cheese product" because it doesn't contain enough cheese to legally call itself cheese or any variant of processed cheese.

I'm in a highly technical STEM field, and sometimes I find myself feeling insecure about my intelligence as comparative to some of my math-wiz colleagues.

But then I see shit like this lol

Thanks for making me feel better about myself OP!

Are those $20 for 16 units of Michelob or just one?

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

4 pints (16 ounces) priced at $5 each

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 6 points 2 days ago

That's... Acceptable. And that person deserved the overcharge. Michelob? That's white AF.

Most of the time when I see a "community note" I mentally picture the people doing a slight facepalm and sighing. This one seems it'd require a two-hand facepalm.

and a cheesetastic day to you too, white american
