If ya like pork sausage ya can always fry some up and chunk up the slices and put them in with the eggs before ya throw cheese on top....bacon works too.........

American cheese on egg sandwiches.

Try provolone or muenster instead. Both melt well and are actually cheese

I use deli sliced white American cheese, not that processed, cheese food product spread, in plastic shrink wrap... Quite a difference. Never really been a big fan of provolone and kinda on the fence regarding muenster. Not a big fan of Swiss cheeses either... Too "dry/hard/don't know..." Used to really like some of the French spreadable/soft cheeses like Brie.

Phew! I guess it is fair to say that when I think "American Cheese" I do think of the "slices" of "plastic cheese" that are actually not sliced at all but poured onto plastic to make "slices".

I'm not big on Swiss either, too "tangy" for my mouth. DW likes it though, her "go to" is Jarlsberg. It is OK in fondue though - Emmental and Gruyere.

Okay, I'll give everybody a "Shake your Head Moment"....most of those I have never heard of....or have, but never tried. The "Like" cheeses on my list are Cheddar, Mozzarella, Edam, Gouda, Swiss, Colby, and American. I have tried Muenster and couldn't swallow the bite I tried. Most of these are the ones I grew up on, but the bulk in my life have been the Mozzarella, Cheddar, and American. Mom used to buy the big 5# loaf of American that ya had to slice yourself and the others were in blocks that had to be shredded by hand....guess whose job that was.....
....of course there were Cottage Cheese, cream cheese, and Parmesan, but never had the stuff that has to be grated. The one bite of Muenster has me fearful of trying others that I don't know....so, I've always stuck with those I know and have ate a ton of them.....

I wonder what it was about the muenster you didn't like. It isn't a very strong cheese and is a big favorite at my house.

 

[CntryBoy777]

Not really sure @Bruce it was many yrs ago and my Mom had bought some cause she liked it....I just remember it made me gag....that was before I graduated HS, so in the early to mid '70s.

Dang Fred... that was so long ago, I'm surprised you remember it. I mean it must have been a pretty horrendous experience. Maybe you should try it again if you get the chance... just to be sure. Tastes change after you hit 60.

OK, Congrats to the Philly Eagles on their first Superbowl championship. I'm very unhappy at the moment, but the Eagles out played the Pats and the Pats made too many mistakes and bad decisions. Not excuses, just reality. The Pats did not deserve to win... I see Tom Brady playing 2 more years max and then retiring with no further Superbowl appearances. Next year they'll be starting over from scratch with a new OC & DC. They had a real chance to set the bar where it would be virtually impossible to ever be reached again. <sigh> Oh well,

Hate to admit it, but I had reached football saturation several days ago and hadn't paid much (like zero since Thursday) attention till the game tonight.So, I figure a couple of days for withdrawal then I can put it all aside till next Aug/Sept.

Ya know what they say Joe....all good things must come to an end. We never really want them too, but time and life just keep on rollin along.
I might given the chance, but I'm not buying it to find out....

So did the Eagles fans rip up the stadium and streets (in MN and Philadelphia)? Or were they able to contain their joy in a non destructive way?
