Why can't you buy slabs of Amercian Cheese???

[JellyBaby]

Single American slices aplenty. Each individually handwrapped for your convenience. Well, doggonit, maybe I want to size my own slices...or try shredding the stuff to use with pasta. But, no I can't because american cheese does not come any other way!.

Conspiracy? I believe so. Ridiculous? Yes. I'm stoopified.

 

[Antisocial Virge]

Thats not all, in Canada its called....Processed Cheese

 

[Lord Evermore]

You can buy blocks of American at some deli counters at grocery stores at least. I've seen it...wouldn't buy it, but I've seen it...

American cheese in American has 'processed cheese product' or something in a small subtitle like thing on it.

 

[JellyBaby]

I prefer swiss cheese for sandwiches and garlic pesto for everything else. But there are times when a good old slice of american hits the spot (hamburgers for one example).

Lord E.,

The deli, eh? Hmmm, I've checked twice at two different grocers and nada. But Cheese Whiz is selling wonderfully well as I see it on several shelves. Grrrrr.

 

[Angrymarshmello]

My uncle owns a store in the 'hood in Memphis - he sells blocks of American cheese. Why you can't buy them at the stores? I have no idea.

 

[DefRef]

White American cheese is great!!! Check any supermarket deli counter and they should have some. After having that good stuff, going back to that sick, orange weatherstripping crap that Kraft slices represents is unthinkable.

 

[AMDJunkie]

That's because American cheese was actually a secret Communist project to poison the Americans with their own pride by producing yellow concentrated rat poisen in convienient sandwich-shaped slices and labeling it "American". The plan would have been a success except that the Reds forgot that even though Americans have no taste buds whatsoever to hint them off to the poison, they do have stomachs of steel, totally rejecting even the most concentrated amounts of the poison. It is still eaten today, so that's why the best way to kill an American is through Nuclear War.

 

[Feisters]

American Cheese ain't Real cheese, that's why. It's cheese food product, or something like that. It's manufactured just like Chevys! (More or less.) Don't get me wrong; I like it on a burger with mayo and ketchup. But bulk cheese is made primarily of milk only, and either in Wisconsin or Europe.

 

[JellyBaby]

RagingBITCH,

Your Uncle have a web site? I'd order a few crates.

DefRef,

White American cheese? Racial issues aside does it taste different/better than the orange/yellow stuff I'm accusomed to?

Feisters,

You seem to be a part of a vast, anti-American cheese movement in this country. I had no idea it existed until today.

 

Is that the kinda' stuff they use at Subway? THAT is the best.

 

[Feisters]

JellyBaby, No, no, no. I love American Cheese. It definitely has it's place! But I am able to differentiate between real cheese and "processed" glop.

 

[Futuramatic]

It is called Velveta baby!

No seriously... deli counter... you may have to search, but you will find it.

 

[boboTmonkey]

it's CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!!
:|:Q:disgust::frown:

 

[dude]

mmmm cheese and bacon...

Well, I'll throw this in. Cheese is made mostly from milk right? Well milk is some pretty funky stuff these days. There is a popular book out about it called: Milk : The Deadly Poison.
Check this out while your eating your cereal in the morning. Found this at http://www.notmilk.com/


MILK, long thought to be a wholesome food for children, actually contains powerful growth hormones.

Endocrinologist Clark Grosvenor published a review of the known hormones and growth factors in milk ("Hormones and Growth Factors in Milk," Endocrine Reviews, volume 14, number 6, 1992). Each sip of cow's milk includes pituitary, hypothalamic, pancreatic, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, gonadal, and gut hormones. The list does not include other important milk factors such as prostaglandins and neuropeptides. The milk in your morning cereal still appears to be white and pure, but what follows is a list of bioactive substances in milk taken from Table One of Grosvenor's paper:

PITUITARY HORMONES (PRL, GH, TSH, FSH, LH, ACTH Oxytocin)

STEROID HORMONES (Estradiol, Estriol, Progesterone, Testosterone, 17-Ketosteroids, Corticosterone, Vitamin D)

HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES (TRH, LHRH, Somatostatin, PRL- inhibiting factor, PRL- releasing factor, GnRH, GRH)

GASTROINTESTINAL PEPTIDES (Vasoactive intestinal peptide, Bombesin, Cholecystokinin,Gastrin, Gastrin inhibitory peptide, Pancreatic peptide,Y peptide, Substance P, Neurotensin)

 

[AndrewR]

Of course it's processed -- it's AMERICAN, isn't it????



It is an insult to the cheeses of the world to call it "cheese" though.

 

[sweetrobin]

Yea ... regular milk does have a lot of hormones in it ... you can go to a healthfood store and get milk from cows that havent been injected with hormones though ... they think the hormones in milk and beef are whats causing children to hit puberty faster and faster these days .... As for the subway cheese thats not white american its Provilone ... it rocks .. you can buy it at the grocery store ...

 

[NocturnalChild]

"Get crazy with the cheese wiz." Beck-Loser


bwahahahahaha

 

[PCAddict]

Real American cheese rules, which is the kind you get at the deli counter where they have to slice it for you. That processed stuff is crap. You can buy it by the pound unsliced if you want to at the places around here.

Trust me, I know the power of cheese...or is that the power of cutting the cheese? Hmmm...

 

[Zucchini]

cow growth hormones are just what they sound like.. they only affect cows you fear mongers

 

[DefRef]

I just knew that when I wrote "white American" that someone was gonna get all sensitive and start yelping "racism".

It's called "white" American because it doesn't have the artificial coloring that makes the other fake stuff orange. If you've ever had REAL cheese, you know it has a different texture and taste than the rubbery crap.

Go to the store and buy a bit and try it yourself.

<< White American cheese? Racial issues aside does it taste different/better than the orange/yellow stuff >>



JellyBaby,

Most cheese is actually white in real life; even Cheddar which, BTW, is MUCH better on a burger then that petroleum based fake American cheese crap.

Fireman,

Milk! Yum, yum! I guzzle it by the gallon. I even put heavy cream on my cereal. The more the merrier! I also pass it out to small children on street corners.

Russ, NCNE

 

[virtuamike]

Tried to make mac and cheese one day, didn't have any real milk so I used sweetened soybean milk. Yum.

 

[JellyBaby]

DefRef,

It was in jest. Allocate some more CPU to the Humor app.

Russ,

I disagree about cheddar's rightful place on a burger. The only place I've found for cheddar is on pizza and then only the mild variety. Otherwise it dominates taste-wise.

All,

I will make a concerted effort to locate a slab of &quot;real white american cheese&quot;, the kind that's not processed and rubbery.

JellyBaby,

You're young, aren't you?
