Welfare Cheese! It's a large oblong brick of yellow cheese. Probably
some kind of "American" cheese. It's very creamy and very salty. About
the only thing it's good for is mac and cheese.

When I was out of work one time, while raising the kids, the township
gave me a basket and there was a brick of that cheese in there.
