I rarely eat a Beef/Ham burger, but when I do, a slice of fairly tasteless processed cheese on it is not the top of my priorities - as Joelle inferred - each to their own!!

“Tasteless processed cheese”….ok, uh…you’re doing it wrong.

I’m not talking about what I make, this was in connection with “the best burger in Hua Hin”, where I doubt you’d be able to get anything other than processed cheese on a cheeseburger!!

I usually do, especially if I order one out, and rarely experiment. If a chain beef burger, then it's a Whopper with extra meat, as I prefer to actually taste the beef.

As stated, the 'cheese product' most use is a flavorless, extra layer of salt. At home I may add cheese, rare, but it's real American cheese.

Well, as you might have guessed, it's not actually cheese—at least, not legally. The FDA calls it “pasteurized processed American cheese food.” In order for a food product to be a true “cheese,” it has to be more than half cheese, which is technically pressed curds of milk.
American cheese is not recognised, even by the FDA, as real cheese!

Wow, you're quite a confrontational poster on the subject of burgers! Were you force-fed them as a child? With or without cheese? :laugh:
Is there a 'Best therapist in Hua Hin' thread? :cheers: :cheers:
This is the way

American Cheese is called such, as it's usually a mixture of 2 or more cheeses. Most being Cheddar & Colby. Not enough of any one cheese to be designated of that cheese.

Desired for burger for it's melting point, and enough emulsifiers so that it doesn't break at temps. How much cheese, sets it apart for 'processed cheese' vs 'cheese product' ... I think.

Scheiber is the best I've found here @ Makro. New Yorker is probably the best, one of, sold in USA, not available here, or I haven't found it. Noticeably better than the rest.

Others sold hear, are pretty sad in comparison (for me anyway): Kraft, Allowie

Real Cheddar usually breaks when heated, and if good cheddar, is a bit over powering. Monterrey Jack, Pepper Jack are good alternative, if decent brand. Provolone also, especially if making a Pizza Burger or Pizza CheeseSteak, and yea, that's a thing where I come from.

Any smoked cheese (ex: Golda) is plus, or can add a bit of liquid smoke, if not cooked on charcoal grill or flame broiled, for the fire charring. Why Whopper excels over the rest of chain offerings. That flame broiled thingy.

Though getting the extra meat on Whopper, helps actually tasting the beef, since added toppings & roll are a bit much at times.

Whether it's on a grilled cheese or a burger, we just can't resist the ooey gooey goodness of American cheese. But, did you know that it's actually considered one of the worst cheeses for you? In fact, it's loaded with unhealthy additives and preservatives that can cause a slew of diseases and ailments! Here's why you should skip the American cheese the next time you're making a sandwich:

"Any food with that number of ingredients should not be deemed a food, especially when it contains dairy lactose, known to cause allergic reactions in many people, and milk in any form which poses tons of health risks including mood swings, hormonal changes, and even cancer,"
Of course there's much more which should put off anyone choosing to eat unless there's no alternative.

Having said that, I do like a good cheeseburger.

Is that place still in business? I thought it closed before Covid or during Covid.

Sorry PeteC cannot comment on that, we have not frequented that part of town for many a year, so yes, he may have ceased business. Was very nice when it lasted. For health reasons having a few bevvies and a burger after is now in the past really. :cry:
