What are some American cheeses? Other than the oily cheese flaps I mean e: gently caress I've been getting a lot of page snype with lovely posts lately. Here is a relevant funny image:

Plus people used coins, so I made it to the $44.95 that I needed in order to buy Mega Man 2 largely by scrounging in gutters for change

^ That's still a more palatable description than what the cheese producers lobbied it should be called when Kraft first came up with it. Embalmed cheese

My family has always just called it "plastic cheese." It works on multiple levels.

"Pasturized Process Cheese" = Cheese + emulsifier + salt + acid/cream/coloring "Pasturized Process Cheese Food" = Swap no more than 49% of the cheese for milk "Pasturized Prepared Cheese Product" = Kraft Single = Anarchy (in practice, more milk + milk protein concentrate since it's cheaper to ship)

Cheese, much like fish, is a label designed around purpose and not around phylogeny. Kraft cheese is cheese, and it tastes perfectly yummy.

One of the best treats is to take some melted Kraft cheese and drizzle it over some cat litter and then use it as a facial scrub

Son of Thunderbeast posted:Nothing beats kraft American singles for the cheese in if you want an amazing GCS (grilled cheese sandwich) When I was on a submarine we'd have "grilled cheese night" and your sandwich was a single slice of american cheese sandwiched between two pieces of white bread, the horrible, way-to-dense poo poo bread the cooks made if you were out for a long time. Single whisper of ham optional. Served with canned carrots, canned green beans, and tomato soup. I'd get off of an 8 hour watch, and that would be my only food for the next 16 hours, and I had to restrain myself from throwing my plate at the cooks head, because that is a miserable, nutritionally bereft meal. Almost as bad as when our only source of protein for two months was powdered eggs.

You can get some sodium citrate and turn any of your favorite cheeses into the texture of an American slice. Then you can hit a grilled cheese texturally with s some amazing flavor

bike tory posted:What are some American cheeses? Other than the oily cheese flaps I mean If you mean "decent cheeses that are labeled American cheese" generally what you'd get sliced at a deli is decent, and I'd go so far as to say Cooper sharp American is downright the best cheese for burgers. If you more generally mean which cheeses from America are good I'm personally fond of Cooper, Muenster, and some Jack blends but I'm a simple man of simple tastes. On the other side of this coin is Provel, which is only conceptually a cheese and is better described as engineered misery.

The best I've seen so far in real life is people just thinking their mic is muted when it's not. Lots of yelling at dogs and deep belches on business calls during this pandemic.

canyoneer posted:Do submarines just smell like sweaty people and farts? I imagine that's what a submarine smells like No. They smell like cat piss, the chemical used to remove CO2 from the air is one of the major contributors to the scent of cat pee, it pervades everything, and you don't notice it after a day or so, until you go on liberty and stagger bar to bar in Norway smelling like a drunk piss hobo, then stagger back to the boat before curfew, and almost ralph going down the hatch from thenpissy stench+booze. Farts are easily removed by the powerful ventilation and atmosphere control equipment (there's machines that effectively remove all volatile compounds). Sweat stink varies, most of the time you can shower regularly, and submariners in general are fastidious about hygiene, due to the odor accumulation potential of sleeping 9 people to 6 beds in a 6'x6'x6' cube, lack of hygiene is quickly corrected by your 8 bunkroom mates. The exception seems to be junior Auxiliary Division, the guys who blow poo poo overboard, fix the shitter when they don't work, spend all day covered in diesel and oil, and handle the aforementioned cat-piss chemical, their berthing always reminded me of my football teammate "hobo Phil"'s locker, he who wore the same practice jersey every day for a whole season without washing it. Oh, and that powdered egg thing I mentioned? It was because our freezers broke, over a literal ton of meat rotted, we had to dig through it to get to the edible stuff, the rotten meat would be heat-sealed in large plastic bags. By the time we were able to "shoot" trash overboard again the bags had inflated until they were rigid and stiff, from the gasses of putrefaction, each one had to be punctured and the meat removed to the degradable canisters used to discharge trash to the briny depths. It took three days to remove all the rotten meat, the filters and burners were of no use, for that time there was no escape from the smell, you woke up with it in your nostrils, ate with it (particularly powerful when you ate because the mess was near the trash shooting apparatus) stood watch with it, and went to sleep with it clogging your nostrils, punctuated every once in a while by the sharp odor of popping a particularly rancid bag of pork chops. I had lost 30lbs in two months and even the ravenous nature of that kind of food deprivation couldn't force me to have much of an appetite in the face of that overwellming stench. Sorry for the rant, the whole thing might've traumatized me a little.

Yeah, that's some seriously lovely "food". It's made with the cheapest ingredients to somewhat resemble a food item for: A: people who literally have to watch every penny or go hungry, or B: people who have no taste buds whatsoever and think paying anything but the lowest possible price for anything is wasteful. Usually A.
