Argument with G/F about Cheese

[bran987]

She says that the slices I get aren't real cheese.

Nonfat Pasteurized Cheese Food Product

But ALL cheese slices I see say that, not just Kraft but other brands too.

Is this not real cheese? Is the 4g of protein per slice listed on the label no good? If it's not I have no reason to eat this crap.

it is not actually real cheese
it is the scraps and by product of real cheese making
and it is all tossed together and bound in a manner that resembles cheese and pressed
texture is too soft
and most processed cheese is high in sodium
and most lack flavour
cheese wiz pressed and sliced
lots contain non cheese fats such as trans fat

be good to yourself and try some real cheese
colby
jack
cheddar
swiss
jarlsberg
havarti
pepper jack
gjetost
brie
camembert
saga
bleu
stilton
cambozola
parmesan
asiago
provolone

etc etc
etc etc

well jeez , do they make non fat "real" cheese then?

 

[obiwan9962]

lol
there are "light" cheeses
go into a good cheese shop or a very good supermarket
and ask the gal/guy at the deli counter for a selection

Saga cheese is excellent!! Glad you mentioned it Obi.....good in a salad with walnuts, red grapes...MMmmmmmmm

What's the cheese with the layer of ash in it? I can't remember...


I use those ff cheese slices (20 cal) on a sandwich (egg, meat, tuna, etc) where it doesn't matter if you get a bunch (or any) of "cheese" flavor or not....when you want real flavor get a real cheese (ie not from the grocery store) -- Trader Joes' has a nice selection also -- as the flavor is more intense and you can use less if you're worried at all about calories...

BRIeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee - omfg, orgasm


jarlsberg (yumm), Dutch, swiss ok too, but the older the cheese the better. and stay away fro americn crapola - it might be real cheese per se, but compared to these it's like a fucken glue, or could be used as tiles to patch holes/imperfections in the wall - it won't go bad i psomise because of all the preservatives that make it impossible to eat

 

[bran987]

Ok I did what you guys said and went to the uppity person market

I got Light Dill Harvati
Light Cheddar and Light Jalapeno Jack... the kind that come in blocks wrapped in cellophane.

Doing better?

How long before this real cheese goes bad (since you're right.. slices don't!)

 

[jenscats5]

Ummmmmmmmm, when it goes bad? I guess when it smells funny? You know, I'm not sure about when it goes bad....look for fuzz (like cotton ball growth) I guess....

Havarti is great....a good melting cheese and I love jalapeno cheese good stuff....keep it wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge I think is how you're supposed to keep it if I remember my cheese class correctly...

Once you buy good real cheese, you can't go back....
