Don't make me throw American cheese on you!

@0x575446 @gmarcosanti The plastic enhances the flavor.
@catsalad fun part is there's no plastic in it.
It's a mixture of cheese, water and some chemicals. Hence the definition of "cheese alloy" which I shamelessy stole from the attached video.

@Njord @Sobex @catsalad Laughing Cow Cheese is a vital ingredient in one of my families favorite Vietnamese dishes. We have been substituting since moving to Germany because I had no clue it was actually French?! Time to figure out where to buy it here or what's the fastest train connection to France covered by Deutschlandticket.

@Njord @Sobex @catsalad Fun fact: La Vache Qui Rit is actually cheese. They take the leftovers and scraps left after processing actual cheese and instead of putting them in the trash where they belong, they melt it to get this (with some shit added for texture / taste). So, definitely better than American.

@robz @Sobex @Njord @catsalad It also has an interesting story. In French it sounds a bit like Valkyri and the name was invented to make fun of the German during the first world War (the valkyri was the emblem of the German troop transports).
Also notice how her ear rings are boxes of Vache qui rit containing also a Vache qui rit with earrings containing a Vache qui rit... -
@catsalad Excuse me, but that's so-called "American Cheese Product".
Otherwise, I may have to report you to European instances (esp. French) for such a blatant insult to the proper definition of cheese.
It's far less cheese than Hershey's chocolate.

But it endlessly fascinates me how culture and history creates artifacts like "La Vache qui rit" = "Valkyrie". The cleverness of humanity is often delightful in that way.

@catsalad
Now I want to know all about the history of American cheeses, how far back native recipes might go, and what colonial times have added. -
