It would probably get much less hate if it was just called "Burger Cheese"
Amusingly I decided to see what my local grocery store has and found this:
TIL Sweden calls it hamburger cheese (I just moved here from the US). I'm pretty sure in the US someone would get shot for trying to take America out of the name though
Apparently the name was provided by British aristocrats. What do you think you, a nobody, are doing by sullying the name set by your betters?
