I don't know if there is snobbery on your part, but there is a lot of snobbery here and abroad about American cheese and wine. So, Yup, there's snobbery.
I had the same experience in Europe that you had here. My point is, I like the kitchen to smell like food not an outhouse on an asparagus farm. Had I been blindfolded and someone said, "here, eat this." I would have assumed some skulduggery was afoot. The End.
Oh simmer down. American cheese isn't that bad, that's just naked snobbery. I worked in a very expensive cheese shop and heard that kind of inane nonsense all the time. Then the schmuck who badmouthed American cheese would take a big sniff of some french cheese that smelled like a port-a-potty at the county fair and rave about it.
Apparently, for people of this ilk, the smell of raw dung is LESS revolting than a bland, largely inoffensive-tasting and smelling cheese.
Life isn't fair. There are people who are smarter than I am, faster than I am, better looking than I am, stronger than I am. Others are far more lucky, having been born into wealthier, better connected, more loving families than I was. Some have better health. A lot of these people will fare much better in life than I will.

Start seeing nearly invisible, virtually silent bikes.
Then when someone cut me off, I'd strike a head-wagging, when-will-they-ever-learn attitude.
"So you are ok with discrimination then?"
