Cheese?

Several mentioned American cheese this morning.... Some "food for thought" 

Is Kraft American cheese real cheese?

By the FDA's standards, Kraft isn't permitted to refer to Singles as “cheese” because this word indicates that a product is made with at least 51 percent real cheese. This is why the label reads “pasteurized prepared cheese product.” Typically, the fewer ingredients a food contains, the healthier that food tends to be.Mar 16, 2015

We stick to Boar's Head white American. Hope that doesn't make me racist.

Not a fan of American cheese, but I do stand for the National Anthem.

Whenever the topic of "American cheese" comes up I always refer them to J. Kenji's take - http://www.seriouseats.com/2016/07/whats-really-in-american-cheese.html

I'm with J. Kenji - sometimes Kraft singles are the perfect choice for a burger.

It really is the only cheese to use with scary-f*cking clown bologna

I just cut the cheese. Does that count?

So true.

Water , for example. One of the best things you can put in your mouth. And just 1 ingredient.

"Distilled" (usually made by reverse-osmosis though) water will taste weird to most people because it's missing the usual minerals that we're used to.  Some bottled water companies start with demineralized waters and add the minerals so it tastes better.

@nolaegghead - so true.  In my previous life we would distill sea-water to it's very pure form.  Then depending on the needs of the various grades of water it would get routed to different holding tanks.
The potable water tanks were carefully monitored and some additives were used to provide the hint of a flavor profile.  FWIW-

Fake cheese.

Oops I see that Nola beat me to it.

New Yorker American is American cheese... anything wrapped individually and not sliced at a deli is crap

Double-header right here.  @henapple and a cheese thread and @hapster surfaces.  Trust this finds everyone well.  No pressure on hapster from some incredible photos.

Duh. It's obviously not as good as water, since it has more ingredients. See first post. Try to keep up.

That's why I like salt. Just one ingredient.

Doesn't salt have at least two ingredients - sodium and chloride? And many salts also have trace elements of who knows what.

I guess water also has two ingredients - hydrogen and oxygen. 

This is all very confusing.

In the vernacular, salt is sodium chloride.  Cali is a scientist, I'm sure he means the anion/cation balance of common mineral salts typically found in water.

Ingredients in the lay sense. Anything chemically bonded together counts as one. 

But you have a point if we were in a lab , and not in a redneck's thread on a BBQ forum.
