What is it with Americans and cheese on sandwiches? You would never get a breakfast sandwich in the UK with cheese.

We’re a melting pot. Cheese is a melty thing.

I think we got the cheese thing from Scandinavians and Italians. There is always good cheese on those breakfast buffets with all the cold cuts, hearty breads and pastries in the Nordic countries. And in Italy, the delightful soft wrapped triangles of Bel Paese formaggio to spread on a warm roll with some Parma ham at breakfast, not to mention cheese generally everywhere.

Don’t get me wrong I love cheese. I used to work for an Anglo/Swedish company so spent time in Sweden and they have great food. However herring in blackcurrant for breakfast didn’t appeal!

Cheese on breakfast sandwiches just doesn’t seem right. Bacon & mushroom, bacon & egg, bacon & tomatoes, bacon & sausage, bacon & egg & sausage & tomatoes, bacon & black pudding are all eaten with relish. The addition of a slice of processed cheese with very little taste doesn’t appeal. It’s obviously a cultural thing and vive la difference!

I had a Breakfast Baconator™ everyone!

It was AWFUL. I mean really, awful. I think it would have been fine without the snot-mixed-with-spit-like "Swiss cheese sauce" on it.
I mean really unappetizing. I took two bites and threw the thing in the trash. So yeah, I threw away bacon.

I cried a little.

You obviously frequent an inferior Wendy's. 😉

I am with you on American orange processed cheese food slices, an aberrant far distant cousin to real cheese. I am fond of Wyke Farms aged cheddar from Somerset, aged Gouda, aged Provolone or Cabot Vintage Aged Cheddar from Vermont on a toasted hunk of sourdough, with egg, bacon, etc.

I love cheddar. Growing up my parents and grandparents generation also used eat Wensleydale cheese when we they had fruit cake. The slightly salty crumbly cheese goes amazingly well with the sweet fruit cake. I made a variety of cheese to be ready for when my DS returned from NAPS at Christmas. It didn’t last long! I also like a good blue cheese!
 
I refer to American Processed Cheese Food (not even real cheese) slices as "PVC". That's Poly Vinyl Cheese.

Ahem. Back to bacon, you Troglodytes.

I'm with you on this one. I love cheese. But cheese and eggs in tandem, nope. Not for this girl. Eggs and bacon? YES!
 
To re-balance the thread, to get through another non-stop snow day in MD, I have a 7-qt slow cooker going full of 15 bean soup with onions, chicken and chili seasoning, with some diced tomatoes and a suitably large batch of cooked bacon to go in near the end, with some reserved for crunchy garnish.

I have this vision of all the dogs and cats and PEOPLE in your neighborhood standing around the outside of your home begging for leftovers.
