i cannot put American “cheese” on my pasta.

Who the fuck does that?

I buy imported Parmesan cut straight from the block for pasta, and savor it in each dish as it is expensive. Excuse yourself.

Same, but the popular thing is some American dried mass produced milk prouduct.

I don't think the people downvoting know that there's really people out here putting American craft singles slices on their spaghetti. I should know, I'm related to a couple of them. Seen it a good chunk of my life, almost always in poorer homes, from the southern US and a few times here in the midwest.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I’ve never seen that. American cheese is for bologna sandwiches or for melting in burgers

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

My aunt in the US makes lasagna with Velveeta

It's all fucking confusing.

I am talking admit cheese made in the USA, kraft singles aren't even legally allowed to be called cheese

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

The exception, not the rule.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (3 children)

They don't though, unless you count mac & cheese

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He's not talking about "American Cheese," he's talking about e.g. Kraft grated (fake) "parmesan" cheese made in America.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, we definitely do that lol

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Nothing wrong with it, if you're just making something basic. Not everything needs to be cuisine.

But putting Kraft singles on pasta is a crime.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You don't. You can literally find them making dinner on TikTok.

[–] Havoc8154@mander.xyz 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just like all the thousands of people eating tide pods? Or maybe it's just rage bait...

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Is it really that hard to stomach the idea of melting American cheese on pasta?

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I can't. I don't have TikTok, literally or figuratively.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

you mean Americans don't grate cheese on their Bolognese?

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Oh I thought you meant "American cheese" a la Velveeta. Yeah, we definitely put shitty grated fake Parm on stuff. It's an acquired taste/texture lol. I don't recommend trying to grate Velveeta.
