most of the cameras in use today have twice the amount of green sensors than other colors. as a result, many images taken in low/mid lighting will appear greener than reality unless that effect is accounted for via software

Figuring out the white point is genuinely hard without making a reference photo with a grey card in the same light. It's always a guess and sometimes the software guesses wrong.

Our perception of colours is really sensitive to the subtlest shifts in colour.

Is it cursed that I really quite like grilled cheese made with Kraft slices? This IS in Canada so I don't know how much Kraft differs from American American cheese. I'm yet to visit the States but I'm lead to believe we generally have better food quality up here.

Kraft Singles at least in the US are a "prepared cheese product" that can't be legally called cheese but is cheap and convenient. That's the kind that a lot of people mock and hate. Actual "American cheese" is just mild cheddar and Colby with some emulsifiers to make it melt better for things like grilled cheese or burgers. It's perfectly legitimate mild-flavored cheese.

yeah its considered 'pasteurized processes cheese product' and not real cheese and barely food

also iirc whats weird is that kraft singles cost nearly the same as actual sliced cheddar, so people are choosing kraft on purpose

Don't forget about the orange food colouring!

Here in Australia the Kraft cheese slices don't have colouring and they look all pale and white. I'm not sure which version is more horrifying

Time to break out the chart!




Pasteurized process american cheese tastes like cheese because it is cheese, and like you said has melting properties from the sodium citrate that are useful for certain applications.

The goon with the terrible babysitter was probably eating pasteurized process american slices, which are mostly just vegetable oil in a vaguely solid state.

I grew up thinking I hated cheese because the main cheese products in my house were Cheez Wiz and Kraft Singles. I liked pizza just fine though, since it was mozzarella.

Much later in life I was introduced to charcuterie and found out there was a whole world of cheese and I'd been missing out.

I had a similar experience with fish sticks and seafood.

Yeah, that's generally just annatto. Not really enough to add any flavor to speak of, so white vs. yellow is just a visual thing.

When I was a little boy and my mommy used to make me tuna melts an American cheese slice did a great job of corralling the tuna on top of the bread. I think it’s the only thing melty enough to do that. Plus we were poor as gently caress and they were cheap so whadya gonna do?

why are people so weird about american cheese? it's literally just cheeses blended together with sodium citrate to keep them from separating. Guess how you make sodium citrate - by neutralizing citric acid with baking soda. that's it. you eat both of those things every single day. baking soda is in every baked good you consume. there is nothing weird or chemically about american cheese. It's not called cheese because the dairy industry lobbied to have that term protected so it only refers to the by product of milk curds.

it's like those "holy poo poo chem trails bro" people who just don't know what they're talking about

if you've ever tried to make cheese dip you have to put a slice of american cheese in there to keep it from breaking when heated.

That's true of real American Cheese but it's not true of kraft singles which are what most people associate with the phrase "American Cheese". Those things are not made out of any cheese-adjacent ingredients. They're pretty much just artificially cheese-flavored squares of emulsified oil.
