I eat muenster, cheddars, fontina, fonduta, swiss, feta, large curd cottage cheese, cream cheese (reg & Neuchatel), mozzarella and a few others.
I detest blue cheeses. They taste like crayons. I have a long standing pact with my big sister to try blue cheese at least 4 times a year.
I don't understand American Cheese. It has no flavor and people say they love it. Love what?, I ask.
If I was King I'd redirect all ingredients used in the making of American Cheese to that of a cheese with flavor.
If that wasn't possible, I'd have it turned into synthetic oil.
Surely American Cheese is super-refined such that it'd meet a synthetic level of refinement.
^This. American Cheese is incredibly cheap so it's what people grew up on as kids. The low price breeds familiarity.
I can take blue cheese with something acidic or sweet (Jam, Honey). My wife hates it when I eat cheese with beer.
