Its so good for queso blanco tho
American cheese is more properly called "reconstituted cheese." It starts out as cheddar that gets reheated under pressure with preservative added. Velveeta is effectively the refried beans of cheese. Now that irradiation is an everyday workaday part of dairy processing it's hella easier to make any cheese shelf-stable long enough to sell at the grocery store. The reason we all ate Fucking Velveeta is that it was the only goddamn cheese that lasted longer than a week. Now? Now I can buy like fifteen different types of sliced sargento, not to mention that whole frickin' island of cheese from like Greece'n'shit. This has exactly fuckall to do with millennials. nobody will eat Fucking Velveeta if there are other choices. 'cuz you know what? Laughing Cow is doing just fuckin' fine, thanks.
More specifically we didn't know any better. I thought I hated fish my entire childhood. Except trout, which you catch yourself, haul home and then clean and fry. That shit was good. But anything else? I mean, ZOMG who the fuck would eat "red snapper?" Then I moved somewhere that seafood wasn't caught, frozen, shipped to Los Angeles, trucked to Phoenix, trucked to Albuquerque, thawed, trucked to Santa Fe, allowed to sit overnight, trucked to Los Alamos, allowed to sit overnight, unloaded, put onto styrofoam trays and allowed to sit in the reefer tray for three days. Fucking Velveeta lives in an era where you should never eat sushi when you're more than a couple hours' drive from the coast.
As a kid Velveeta was my favorite mac and cheese brand. I tried it more recently and I don't know WTF I was doing as a kid. Every use of American cheese could be suitably replaced with either cheddar or provolone, assuming you want to maintain the safe, non-intrusive flavor. Gouda on burgers is delicious.
Millennials are killing processed cheese food in retaliation for our complicity in saddling them with unforgivable college debt. If that’s the best they can do, maybe they had it coming! Seriously though millennials. Sorry about the debt thing. Us non-millennials gotta fix that one somehow. Thanks for killing terrible cheese. My kids manage to ingest far too much of it.
literally the only thing american cheese is good for is mixing it with other cheese so the entire product melts more easy, otherwise it just tastes like plasticy fat it's fine when melted on a borger but if you pick any other cheese it'd be finer
Multigenerational staple falls victim to millennial palates When Wendy’s opts for asiago, it’s not an optimistic signal Sounds like the editor writing the title and catch lines is hurt, but not the authors, because the rest of the article reads like cheese is doing fine, only the processed stuff is decreasing. Millennials Kill Again. The Latest Victim? American Cheese
