But can you deep fry it and dip it in ranch?

State fairs have proven you can deep fry just about anything

I don't think this is an argument in favor of the cheese.

If you lived here in MN it is like the only argument needed

My neighbors' elementary school kids would approve. The amount of dino shaped chicken mush that gets doused in ranch on this street is obscene.

And Velveeta. Don't forget the Velveeta.You don’t have to refrigerate the jarred Parmesan.TerribleI never refrigerate my parm in a jarWe eat it fast enough for it never to mold.
When the bombs fall, all that will be left are roaches and Kraft Parmesan jars.

OP updated with final rankings
I love, love, love cheese. I am by no means a cheese snob either, and I'm a big @Dan Lambskin fan.
Few thoughts though.
Velveeta and cheese whiz are not cheese.
I get that taste is subjective. Feta to me tastes like vomit. And over the years, I've come to really dislike parmesan as it smells like feet. And I really don't care for provolone at all.
Top 4 for me are:
Muenster
Mozzarella
Jarlsberg
Brie
After that you have gouda, American, Blue cheese, gruyere, Ricotta, Swiss, Havarti, & jacks.
Top four are there for their versatility. I can use them in salads, sandwiches, charcuterie, tapas, just with breads, etc... Over the years I've come to enjoy Muenster the most, and brie is probably moving up the board. I guess I like more buttery cheeses (with Jarlsberg being the top exception).
good thread though.

Good to see three of my favorites make the top 12, Provolone, Feta, Swiss.

I love smoked Gouda. Even my cat won't Gouda unless it is smoked.

Late round sleeper.45 - mascarpone
Country of origin - italy
Mascarpone is a soft, Italian cream cheese. It's made from heavy cream, which gives it a high fat content and a richer, creamier texture than cream cheese. Mascarpone is often used in desserts, pastries, and cakes as a thick, silky-smooth alternative to cream. It's also a key ingredient in tiramisu, where its buttery flavor balances the bitterness of coffee
Let’s face it, this cheese is good for one thing and that’s tiramisu, but it is such a titan in the dessert world that it deserves a spot here (Desserts maybe a future top 50 thread). I’m sure I’ve used it elsewhere on occasion.
I used to watch a lot of cooking shows, I can still picture Giada mouthing out mas-car-pone-ay
Works with tiramisu and smoked salmon. This is a 3 course cheese. You'll get CH1 production from a 4th rounder.

I can't get on board with American as #1. I mean, if it's all someone has at a cookout I'll take it on a burger, but that's pretty much the only application I'd go for.
For it to be above stuff like Gouda or Provolone is blasphemy IMO, but hey, not my list.
Good topic, lots of fun to follow. Thanks for doing it.

Please don't misconstrue, like 90% of your very fine list was in line with my thinking and you noted some cheeses that I'd never heard of which I'd love to try. Not trying to be a Moops and poo on your thread. It was very entertaining. I love cheese.I can't get on board with American as #1.

Fun thread. As I said, I wanted to learn more and I did.
I know I've had some of these before but couldn't tell them by taste, so here's my list to start getting to know:
Havarti
Asiago
Gruyere
Butterkase
Edam
Manchego
Fontina
Comte
Oaxaca
Kasseri
Colby
Gouda
Cotija
Dan Lambskin

Glad I could expand some cheese horizons
Dan Lambskin
Footballguy
Also I think some good shtick would be for some fine dining place that offers a $35 5 pc cheese tray to throw a couple slices of American on there
Manchego
Brie
Grana Padano
Gorgonzola
American
Who says no to that?

Instead of stupid bread or toast points or whatever you get some ritz or Keebler club crackers. Maybe even sociables if you want to class it up a bit

Oh. If we're totally out of cheddar or jack and the only "cheese" in the house is a few Kraft singles, I will fold those bad boys into fourths and eat some w/ Ritz crackers. Not bad. Not #1, but not bad.

I've never stared at a post longer than this one. I'm still flummoxed and don't know whether to dry heave or drool.

Oh man that reminds me, this was probably 25 years ago, there was an upscale steakhouse in town (not super fancy but a nice place). I remember reading review where someone claimed they ordered the surf and turf and the lobster tail was served with a slice of American cheese on it
I can’t believe it’s true, but maybe it happened in some freak accident like some weirdo asked for it on their Apple pie and somehow it ended up on the lobster by mistake

Seems like the white tr- err-- budget version of apple pie with a slice of cheddar. So I could see it on an un-frosted fruit variety.
Assume you wouldn't do this to a frosted brown sugar & cinnamon

What if I take out the Gorgonzola?
Leroy Hoard

By far the best cheese in terms of name. Downright intimidating.
Leroy Hoard

As a poor child with few gourmet options, I often opted for a Kraft single folded into 4 small squares. We weren't fancy enough for the Ritz, so I had to settle for placing them on generic brand saltines which fit perfectly.Oh.

Oh man I completely forgot to even mention that scrambled eggs are essentially inedible unless you melt in a slice or two of American
Don Quixote
Footballguy
I’ll do that in a pinch, but there about a dozen cheeses that I would go with before American with scrambled eggs. Cheddar or feta my usual go-to’s based on what I typically have in the house.
