Feb. 14th, 2022 06:43 pmSo, we are an American cheese household*. It's not the only cheese we eat, but it's my first choice for sandwiches and cheese toast** and I eat a lot of those things. We get ours from the supermarket deli.
This week, the cheese came home with an American cheese label but, when we opened the package, it turned out to not be American cheese. I have eaten a bagel toasted with American cheese for breakfast nearly every day for the past 26 years - I know how American cheese behaves when toasted and this is not that. The thing is, we can't determine what kind of cheese it is. It is a perfectly inoffensive mild cheese that makes perfectly acceptable cheese toast (if inferior to cheese toast made with American cheese) - it might be a Muenster? That's my guess, anyway, but my mom disagrees, because it doesn't have the orange bits that are always on the outside of a Muenster.
It is Mystery Cheese.
*As a preemptive measure: I am not at home to being shamed for my cheese choices, thank you.
**Because it doesn't get greasy when melted, and because I was an American child in the 80's and therefore it's the default "cheese" flavor in my brain.
