American cheese isn't actually a cheese. It's closer to a sauce.
I worked in an Italian deli for a number of years and we had ALL SORTS of amazing and delicious cheeses, primarily from Italy sure, but from all over the globe. All sliced to order, if for sandwiches, or a wedge cut, if table cheese. At least once a month or so I'd get a customer asking if we had American cheese. American cheese is that goop that you peel out from plastic wrap. It doesn't come in wedges or bricks, only in those single serving slices./rant

American cheese is a blend of Colby and mild Chedder and does come in blocks. The stuff your talking about maybe called American cheese but it's closer to a blend of milk, oil and the powdered cheese flavoring that comes in boxes of mac and cheese.

Which is why they don't call it "cheese", they call it "cheese product".

Why did the egg cross the road, then? And did it or the chicken come first?
American "cheese" is a result of hygiene laws. To make good cheese, cheeses that actually tastes something, you need MOLD, and you need to let it age properly. There are tons of different molds for making all sorts of cheeses, but try passing that through american health authorities...
It is such a sodding shame. In Sweden, we can't have good meat, because good meat needs to hang well and interact with bacteria to get truly mouth-watering. Any such idea is considered unsanitary, and thus we can't have it.

Why is it that the best tasting foods are slighty rotten?

This. It's also a respected staple in North American cuisine.
I lived in Italy, and know what delicious cheeses they have. They are ideal for Italian cuisine. None of them are suitable for American staples like grilled cheese or macaroni and cheese. Every cheese has its place.

It may have been at one point, but no longer. Personally I've never once seen a block of American cheese, and I live in Wisconsin! And am a cheese connoisseur! Now, I have seen blocks that are, in essence, a block of slices. In other words they are made in the form of a slice and stacked to form a block.
American cheese refers to Kraft singles, cheese whiz, velveeta. At one time, as you say, there appears to have been something called American cheese which was simply cheddar made in America, usually particularly mild. However, American cheese is generally used to denote what I was ranting about, "processed cheese products".

Especially the mashed potatoes and gravy. I'm not sure that stuff is fit for human consumption.

Only once in a while when I'm desperate and running late for work. In my defense, KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Hell, er Taco bell has all but driven Popseye's out of Las Vegas. Sad to say, I'll never get the chance to try their chicken.

You and all the other poor denizens of Vegas. I had no idea you were so deprived! Oh well, at least you get legal hookers.
