While getting a sub sandwich the other day, the question arose:

Do they have "American Cheese" on other continents, outside of the
American continent?

I looked it up, and found this:

American cheese is not even sold in Canada, (Which is part of North
America).

Often foods get names of other Countries to make them sound more exotic.
American cheese probably was named such to increase sales from national
loyalty. What you call American cheese is sold in Canada as Canadian cheese.

I know that Canadian bacon is not sold in Canada as such, here it is called
Back bacon (where it comes from on the pig) or peameal bacon (because of the
coating of meal, which is actually cornmeal not peameal).
