Today's DU (processed pasteurized) Cheese(like product) of the Day.....Velveeta

[NightWatcher]

In honor of Independence Daym there was no way that today's cheese du jour was going to be some kind of stinky, French cheese. In the stead, it's Velveeta a hallmark of holiday platters throughout the land.



Enjoy, and God Bless America

1. It's not a real cheese - it's a 'cheese spread'!! n/t

2. Shouldn't that be?

cheese-like substance

3. Well, I like it.

That's right, I buy Velveeta. I use it to make cheese sauces. I often use in combination with a sharp cheddar or other "real" cheese. I appreciate it for its melting and emulsifying qualities. Better living through chemistry, you know.

8. someday this will come back to haunt you

You will get a divorce, become engaged to a gourmand, and this post will emerge on a pre-nuptial gold-digger search by your future husband.

Your intended will dump you because who would ever marry someone who would buy Velveeta!?

Just like that dill post you made over at Gardenweb. I stumbled upon that the other day. Heh, heh, I know whereof I speak.

4. It's delicious if you dice it into little squares and mix it with black olives, green onions,

mayonaise, curry powder and spread on a half english muffin and bake.

6. It makes the best broccoli casserole

I make it every Thanksgiving.

7. It was a staple in my childhood diet. Miracle Whip was too.

I still will eat either one in the right context. To this day I still think Velveeta makes the best cheese sauces for those casseroles like my mom used to make. It isn't the only cheese I cook with, but I do use it for certain things.

11. Melted Velveeta with Ro-Tel is great

Cold Velveeta on a sandwich, not so much.
