    even as an american, american cheese is disgusting.

    I can taste the emulsifier they add to it so it “melts” nicer.

    I will disagree with pasta and cheddar, though. Mac and Cheese is wonderful. (well. from scratch mac and cheese. blue boxes need not apply)

      Kraft Singles aren’t American Cheese (like literally, they’re legally not allowed to call it that). I wish people would stop associating the two.

      Actual good American cheeses exist. A favorite of mine is Cooper Sharp American.

      mac and cheese is something else, you wouldn’t put parm on that. but practically every other sauce needs some real parm on top.

        You might want to reconsider the first part. While you don’t want parm to be the primary cheese, a little parm added to homemade Mac and cheese really steps it up.
