American Cheese

Ahh, the French may have French toast, French fries, French bread, and my personal favorite (although not a food item) the French kiss. But right here in the US of A, we have the venerable "American cheese."

Apparantly, American cheese is not only the name of the product itself, but it's the name of the first ingredient in "American cheese." This kind of grosses me out but the ingredients list for American cheese is as follows:

"American cheese (milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes) water, dry cream, milkfat, sodium phosphate, salt, citric acid and scorbic acid as a preservative."

So there you have it in case you were wondering what was in American cheese. It's mostly made up of American cheese, water, dry cream and milkfat, with some additives.
