Basic 12 month aged Vermont white cheddar cheese (ex. Cabot for $6 per 8oz) is 100x better than American "cheese" product. A slice of fresh tomato and honey mustard makes it ever better. Grilled cheese with American is pointless.

Stop trying to fancify my grilled cheese with vegetables and real cheese!!!!!

Cheese made with "microbial enzymes" instead of rennet tastes gross and isn't really cheese.

Seriously. I’ll eat that sandwich cold, no problem. But I don’t want mustard and tomatoes in my f-ing grilled cheese.

I love tomatoes. Live on tomato Mayo sandwiches in August (can’t wait).

A warm slice of tomato slip sliding around oily melted cheddar? Absolutely not.

Y'all are making me desperately miss the super grilled cheese at the old Stoney's at 13th & L. It had bacon and tomato (I know, I know) but it was a thing of beauty.

And no, the new Stoney's just isn't the same.

Maybe add some relish to that (either sweet/dill or a mix) and make is a Russian dressing. My DH acts like I made him a gourmet meal when I make that.

Also had fries with peanut sauce at the Falafel place in DC and that was good.

Maybe also curry yogurt-mayo.

Ooh yes. I make air fryer fries a lot and love mixing different dipping sauces. I always love ketchup and mayo. I also like sour cream, lemon juice, Cavenders, and a little crushed red pepper. Or mayo, a particular roasted garlic seasoning, and something tangy like a dab of ketchup or lime juice. Peanut sauce and curry sound awesome too.

I do think mixing Velveeta with another type of cheese is THE best grilled cheese. Love the white cheddar. The Americans cheese food just helps it attain creaminess and decrease greasiness.

I love MSG. It's a magical flavor enhancer.

I agree with this. When you drink your fruit, rather than eating it, you lose the most nutricious parts. It's like drinking sugar water. Perhaps better than Coca Cola with all the chemicals, but not by much.

Yep. People are in denial because they are literally addicted to the morning sugar rush it provides and has provided them for decades of their life.

I used to be addicted to sugary drinks. One thing that should be obvious to anyone is that 12 oz of soda is not the same as 12 oz of juice. I understand that it's BETTER to eat an orange. But that's not what the op of this debate was talking about. They literally forgot that soda has zero nutrients, whereas ok has lots. Now days, I rarely drink either because of the sugar content. But don't be obtuse. OJ is healthier than soda. Come on.

Me, too! For a while during Covid I couldn't find Accent anywhere. You should have heard the cries of distress from some members of my family. We put that stuff on almost everything.

Air fryers are glorified toaster ovens marketed to suckers.

Decrease greasiness? Isn’t American cheese made with like half oil?

Half oil? Here's the ingredient list for Kraft slices. I don't see any oil?

Cheddar Cheese (Cultured Milk, Salt, Enzymes), Skim Milk, Milkfat, Milk Protein Concentrate, Whey, Calcium Phosphate, Sodium Phosphate, Contains Less than 2% of Modified Food Starch, Salt, Lactic Acid, Milk, Annatto and Paprika Extract (Color), Natamycin (a Natural Mold Inhibitor), Enzymes, Cheese Culture, Vitamin D3.

What?? You don't like Umami?? Like the flavor of soy sauce or ramen? I salivate just thinking about MSG.
