I'm going to continue to die on this hill: American cheese slices typically have cheddar cheese as the very first ingredient. They are made of real cheese, dairy, and an emulsifier. Basically think of a cheese sauce with a higher melt temp but nobody seems to claim fondue is fake cheese
Are they good though? That's subjective, I think they go great on burgers, grilled cheese, and ramen. Are they plastic or use fake cheese? No. If you want to be accurate while high horsing about it you could call them watered down congealed cheese though
Edit to add: the individually wrapped ones are an ecological nightmare. The deli deluxe ones are higher quality, not individually wrapped, and don't even cost that much more. Or just buy not Kraft they don't need the money anyway and other companies make American cheese slices too. You can even find emulsified cheese slices for other types of cheeses if you want variety on your burgers and grilled cheese
Fondue is literally just shredded cheese. The typical Swiss fondue, la moitié-moitié (half half) is 50% Gruyère and 50% Vacherin + a little bit of potato starch if it’s an industrial one (otherwise it’s only cheese and you add potato starch if you want, it’s only to have a better texture and not mandatory).
Other types are just different cheeses, from a single one up to a mix of 3, varying from regional preferences.
Ingredients of an industrial fondue found in any Swiss supermarket:
And now I want fondue but the fondue restaurant here is usually booked months in advance.
Sad panda noise 😔
But if you can find the cheese it is really easy to do and homemade one as there’s 2 ingredients; cheese and cheese. Just use a machine to shred it because doing it by hand is not fun.
Since I don’t drink and don’t want to go to another shop to buy shit white wine, I replaced it with cheap blond alcohol free beer, it’s perfect.
A cheap blonde beer is a very good idea, thanks! We have premade mixes (and premade in a bag) here in NL, but I'll be by myself tonight,. I will eat the entire pot of fondue myself. Which I think we all agree, is a bad idea.
I don’t see any problem, say the guy who ate one (400g) alone 3 days ago 🙄
I had Ethiopian instead, but now I feel like I have permission to eat a whole pot of it on my own!
