I once saw a box in a grocery store labeled "pasteurized process
cheese food spread". I was afraid to read the ingredients list, but I
suspect cheese was not high on the list.

My mother used to buy some stuff called "imitation processed cheese food
product". Made me long for the good old days, when we used to eat *real*
processed cheese food product, instead of this lousy imitation stuff. The
slices were *shiny*. I found that a bit scary - cheese is not supposed
to be shiny! They kind of looked like bathroom tiles to me.

I worked in college as a clerk in the Food Science and Technology Dept.
I learned two important things. 1) The more descriptive words (e.g.
processed, food, product, etc.) the less of the actual food is contained
therein. 2) Always be "allergic" to whatever the graduate students are
doing taste tests on this week. (Carbonated milk? Tutti Frutti
flavored? Are you insane?!??!? [real product attempt])

The more tangy the better. Her favourite is the crumbly aged cheddar in the
tubs (McLarens), but she usually has to settle for CB. She even gets upset
if we change brands of cheddar.


Chedder cheese is NOT for cats. It's MINE!

except an occasional bit for Mollie, who claws me for it...

Is cheddar so unusual then? Here in UK it is everywhere. Comes in two
colours, sort of orange, and sort of yellow.
There is mild cheddar in orange and yellow. Medium cheddar, ditto, mature
cheddar, ditto going up the scale in strength. Irish Cheddar, Canadian
Cheddar, English cheddar in "vintage" strength which I like myself. A bit
expensive.
There is something called "seriously strong cheddar" I tried it once and it
nearly burnt my tongue, that one is not for me.
All sorts of cheddar here.
Anyone heard of Stilton cheese, a speciality of a town near where I live?
Nothing like cheddar, more like Gorgonzola. But better of course ;-)

LOL! Now that would *not* be my Internet. He's simply a cheese
fanatic, and anything remotely resembling cheese is fair game. He's
the gentlest, sweetest little guy -- except when it comes to cheese.
Then he turns into a maniac, and he will swipe it out of your hand or
mouth if he gets too close!
