plastic cheese
Rubbery orange slices
Plastic cheese is processed cheese product that comes in individually wrapped slices, so named for its artificial texture and appearance.
The slices are uniform, unnaturally smooth, and melt predictably—qualities that make them popular on burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches despite tasting nothing like actual cheese.
American cheese is the archetypal plastic cheese.
The term is usually dismissive.
