Same in NZ. I'd never heard of "American" cheese until I saw that Simpsons episode where Homer ate an entire packet of it. I'm assuming it's the same as what we call processed cheese. I've seen it on TV, and it looks similar except that it's a lot more orange coloured that the light yellow stuff here.

I actually find it quite amusing comparing food in USA to food here. For example comparing nutritional labels I find online to labels here, American food almost always has a much higher fat content. I always enjoy food-related threads on ATOT because just seeing what Americans often eat makes me feel a lot better about my diet

actual american cheese from a deli counter is a very mild cheddar style cheese. what is usually referred to as american cheese is a processed 'cheese food,' not really american cheese. some big manufacturers make other kinds of 'cheese food' to resemble other cheeses.

the then there is government cheese, which is a whole 'nother barrel of donkeys...

No, that stuff is actual bacon, as opposed to the fat tinted with meat you guys have in strips. Not saying I don't like your bacon, it has its place, but what is pictured there is what I consider to be bacon.

Your stuff we call Streaky Bacon.
The stuff pictured is bacon. Well, the picture shows 6 rashers of bacon.

As for American Cheese, that is just lumped under processed cheese here. An English Muffin I'd assume is just a muffin, and a crumpet sure as hell ain't no muffin!

it might be actual bacon, but it is still awful. every time i've had it, it hasn't been cooked enough. of course, if it were cooked more it'd probably just burn up.

if you cook american bacon enough, most of the fat leaves it and you get nice tasty crunchy bits.
