You could, similarly, make a grilled cheese out of Cheeze Whiz, for example.

I made grilled cheese today! Half white-American, half colby-jack! DELICIOUS!

White American? I am sorry sir, but you are disqualified.

Hey, I like white American! None of that yellow crap!

It's the American bit that is the issue, no one cares about the color It's "processed cheese food" rather than genuine cheese.

Whether one enjoys eating it or not, I believe it disqualifies for a grilled "cheese" challenge. That's almost as bad as entering a tofu-based "chili" in a chili contest. Sacrilege!

thanksajdotcom

It's still cheese, albeit highly processed.

Can you get decent cheese in America? I'm not being rude, I just don't know. I've never see any American cheese for sale over here, but I don't know if that's because it doesn't travel, it's crap, or there are big import tariffs.

I know from watching Man v Food that Americans seem to put melted cheese on EVERYTHING.

US has quite good cheese. Here in Central America all the good cheese comes from the US, I've not seen a single thing from Europe. In the US you can easily get just about anything from Europe. Wisconsin is famous for its cow cheeses, NY for its goat cheeses. Biggest American made cheese, by far, is cheddar.

We certainly don't put it on everything, but come to think of it, there are a large number of dishes with cheese melted on top, or it's at least a popular option. Why wouldn't you? Cheese is awesome.

Super high quality mozzarella is made in NY which is why the local pizza is so famous. It's the place with access to the fresh cheese.

There are quite a few decent cheeses in the US. We have a few artisanal cheese and meat shops around here that make some amazing cheese.

Is "artisanal" a word? All I see is "Art is anal".

I think so? Artisanal - (of a product, especially food or drink) made in a traditional or non-mechanized way.

Chrome's dictionary doesn't say it is a word either though.

Cheese is indeed awesome. A few months ago I started a project to eat a different cheese every week for two years and I recorded my progress on a blog https://101cheeses.wordpress.com/. But, as with most of personal projects, after a few weeks I gave up.

I believe the correct word there would just be "artisan".

Gave up what? Eating cheese, or blogging about it? I hope only the latter.

Wouldn't it be artisan made cheese then? artisanal would be describing how the cheese was made which is what I was going for.
