Plant-based cheese may be getting more appetizing

As it turns out, there's things that are natural which are mor disgusting and worse for you than processed cheese.

Mind you, I moved from "American" cheese to cheddar some time ago. I do love me some cheese... on literally everything except for America's other addiction, sugar. Also burgers... I don't know what it is but I don't like cheese on large slabs of meat, just the cut up chunks in like... spagget and lasag.

If they arent aiming for any particular cheese that means they are aiming for american cheese.
American cheese is cheese, with another step. Many high end chefs who have burger places prefer it for its melting quality. As a home cook doing one or two burgers at a time, I can babysit cheddar, but I see their bent given volume.

Eh, maybe not. If G-d is omniscient, then any apparent loopholes are, in fact, an intentional.

(Also, did you just invent the Trigrammaton?)

I guess so. I was just trying to go with the vibe. I would be more careful if I were in front of an audience pensively fingering their [throwing] rocks.

Have you ever tried a chopped cheese? It's like a burger except you don't form up the patties, and you mix the cheese into the meat itself. One of the few good uses of that fakey Kraft American cheese (mixed with something for flavor).

I haven't tried that. I suppose since the beef's ground it wouldn't be so hard to add bits of cheese to that as well, and these days I go for medium-rare to medium-well rather than anything further.

Funny thing... or depressing. A lot of people around here think American cheese IS chedder, that they're synonyms. I... have legit gotten into a verbal sparring match over this.

I tend to take a slice (usually (tillamook, which is local/regional for us) swiss or cheddar) quarter it, and melt it on once I flip the burger patty. I guess you can replace that sort of application with a veg cheese as long as it as the same melting characteristics and general taste, but it's not like their husbandry practices are that bad that you'd want to switch to something that isn't equivalent.

I just have a hard time seeing this being a replacement at all for the more artisanal cheeses, at all. Most of that stuff is super small herds, goat/sheep (and small cattle holdings) .. etc.
