Everyone is all "why did he go to McDonalds" omitting the context that this was the only other thing available to eat

I saw a video clip of it, the guy just called it "yellow cheese".

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

He's right on the yellow part, i'll give him that.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

K can't remember if they're legally allowed to call it cheese but yes.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

It's cheese that's been melted, had water and sodium citrate (IIRC) added, then poured into a sheet. It apparently started as a way of reclaiming and consolidating cheese scraps, but now it's just a matter of getting cheese with a lower melting point and that doesn't separate when melted. Things can't be labeled "cheese" if they've been melted and had further ingredients added like that.

That said, the Kraft ones are awful because Kraft makes shitty tasting food products in general.

[–] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yeah, those Kraft slices can't be called cheese, at least not officially.

I don't even think they should even be called "slices" because I'm pretty sure they're injection molded into that shape and not sliced off a block like real cheese would be

They're poured, flattened, and cooled in a sheet and then sliced into squares, AFAIK.

Pensylvanians eating the shit I used to make when I was 7 and mom left me home alone because she had to work.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

The original name for it was Latchkeykidsylvania

[–] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

Lmao when I was like 8 I attempted to make my own pizza using bread dough and spaghetti sauce. I topped it with Kraft yellow slices because my kid-brain assumed "cheese is cheese."

I regretted it on the first bite.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago

this cannot be real. we need a complete and total shutdown of all Pennsylvanians to figure out what is going on.

[–] Yukiko@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’ve been wanting to make this post the last couple days. That shit is an abomination and tastes awful. There is a reason why I won’t go near Altoona for pizza.

[–] BigLenin@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I used to live on West Virginia, and I have to say, central PA makes WV look practically cosmopolitan. The town I was in had a good pizza place, a decent small brewery, and a mid coffee shop. I camped in central PA once and the town had one store, a gas station/liquor/"pizza" place. Also the people seemed even Chudier.

[–] Yukiko@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Central PA is awful and I’m glad I don’t live there. I had a friend that did live there and I was regaled often with stories about various chuddery that did occur there.

I did go out that way from time to time to see said friend, but you won’t catch me near Altoona. That place sucks. Been there a couple times and it’s boring and bland.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

The only good thing I can say about central pa is I badly needed boots once during a road trip and there was a shoe store open on Sunday.

[–] BigLenin@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

My friend was shocked when he visited me in WV and we had, yah know, stuff to do.

Central PA seems like the only activity is drinking.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 23 points 1 week ago

Here's how I make pizza it's basically the same thing PIGPOOPBALLS

You might be joking but even I feel bad for Italians looking at this "Pizza"

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Honestly I feel bad for the Altoonans. They're the ones eating this slop.

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Where are all the posters from the "if you think British fries look wet and tasteless and gross you're actually being picky and maybe classist, it's salt of the earth working class food" thread.

Are you going to try and make me respect this horseshit now?

Death to this kind of thing

[–] BigLenin@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hot take: a lot of British cuisine is fine if you take the perspective that it's food for people who live on a cold, rainy island. Sheppard's pie, totally solid comfort food for some potato farmer who spent all day out in a foggy field.

Amerikkkan food though... like even as poverty food Wtf?

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean this is gross but peanut butter and jelly is a very good low effort snack or lunch food and I think is pretty rare outside of the US.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I continue to not understand how peanut butter has not become a world wide staple

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

it's handy for a lot of sauces too. peanut butter in curry sauce or salad dressing is great

[–] BigLenin@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've meet African immigrants who say it's a thing in North West Africa.

[–] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Peanuts are a very common crop in West Africa, there's a lot of peanut based cuisine from various cultures there. Peanut/groundnut soup tasty

[–] BigLenin@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

PB&J is fine.

Average am*rican dish and apt analog of am*rican culture

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

Somehow worse than the weird rectangle pizza I used to get served for lunch at school

[–] dkr567@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Good lord this is considered food? Looks like a melt yellow plastic on a what it looks like a flatbread.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

UGH, that's a pizza crime. Doublely worse that it's on a square slice, my most hated of pizza delivery methods, round Sicilian gang rise up.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

Triangular slices are now illegal in more than 30 states due to the resemblance to the red hamas triangle, but capitalist innovation quickly solved the problem.

The founding fathers totally would have stood for this. One of the many reasons they're in hell.

Also I'd still try this.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

PA is the state with all the Germans that call themselves Dutch right? This looks like what a German raised with an American education would make if forced to make pizza from a description heard over pre-WWI radio.

[–] BigLenin@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

PA is the state with all the Germans that call themselves Dutch right?

Tbf, that's because they said they were from "Deutschland" and all the English settlers thought that meant "Dutch".

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

"yeah, Dutch Land. I heard you the first time"

Altoona pizza is a crime against the very concept of pizza

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 week ago

This is a warcrime.
