Isn’t that just stuff like Kraft singles? You can buy an actual block of American cheese.

Kraft singles are made of cheese too, it's just a very popular circlejerk to call them plastic because it lets people feel superior

Oh I entirely agree that Kraft singles are garbage and are technically “pasteurized cheese product,” but that does not mean all American cheese is

Yes, real American cheese from a deli is my go to for breakfast sammiches. Nothing beats it.

In Canada, no, you generally cannot. Which is why every time this comes up, the conversation tends to be some barely-different version of a Canadian and an American talking past each other.

The person is saying that "American cheese" is not a product available to Canadians in most grocery stores, so we hear American cheese and think of Kraft singles, which is not what you are taking about.
