Cheddar is like '80s rock - strong enough that people know it is there, but not different enough that people start hating it.

um ok..never got 80s rock, preferred pop. All I remember of 80s rock was heavy metal as the thing and that was what most people meant by rock. And a lot of people didn't like it, it was associated with rebellion.

So not really getting your analogy..?
 
maybe Cheddar was easier to manufacture than other cheeses. IDK never really researched the history of cheese.
I knew about curds and whey, and rennet, but don't understand how you hand craft cheese.

Cheddar is made by the block..I mean it was sliced, and also came in blocks, not like other cheeses that had the rind or were round. So maybe it was just one of those cheeses that could be easily made by machines? And has a good shelf life? Doesn't go mouldy?
 
ok read wiki
wow

what it said about Cheddar in NZ

New Zealand​

Most of the cheddar produced in New Zealand is factory-made, although some are handmade by artisan cheesemakers. Factory-made cheddar is generally sold relatively young within New Zealand, but the Anchor dairy company ships New Zealand cheddars to the UK, where the blocks mature for another year or so.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheddar_cheese#cite_note-Ridgway77-36"><span>[</span>36<span>]</span></a>

Always thought American cheddar was too orangey, and they put colouring in it to make it so. The type of cheese McDonalds puts in their hamburgers.
 
Hello @Lanolin, "Cheddar Cheese" and "American Cheese" are not the same, starting with the fact that one is natural and the other is processed.

American Cheese is, no doubt, the most popular cheese in the States because (as you've already mentioned) it's used by fast-food restaurants like McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King on all of their sandwiches.

American Cheese seems like a distant, boring cousin of Cheddar Cheese, though kids (especially) always seem to prefer it. There are many articles about the differences, and here is one of them.

More like the margarine of cheese. There's usually a lot of vegetable oil in it.

And I would debate whether it is the most popular. It is the cheapest, but some people who buy it by default don't really like it as much.

Of course there are a few weirdos who actually prefer it over real cheese... Isn't that right seoulsearch?

Maybe it's the texture? Like it's soft and bendy, while cheddar when you grate it can be sharp and a little sticky.

I think kids like it because it can come already sliced in the little squares and each wrapped individually so you don't really need a knife to cut it and eat it. Also when it's melted, it just goes gooey, and doesn't crisp up or bubble, or go brown.
