Alan, Alan, Alan. Yes but a bow-tie would be more appropriate.

Since it's not actually cheese, you're on safe ground. ;)

I'm actually eating bunches of the stuff now, on my gout diet.
My only real complaint is how much salt they add to it.

What about gazpacho? It's pretty much the adult version of
V-8. From there, you can progress to gin gazpacho (don't
knock it if you haven't tried it!), and then it's a short step
to a gin mary.

But a bloody mary, with vodka, still tastes wrong to me.

I do like heating V8 juice up and by adding fresh cut vegetables and a
pinch of oregano, I've got a nice fast soup.

No culture, no fermentation, no aging, nothing that makes
it true cheese as opposed to a fresh dairy product.

I guess by that criteria, that fresh mozzarella isn't a cheese either.

Don't much care for gazpacho or gin, but if someone gave me a bowl full
loaded with vodka or even better tequila, I might change my mind.

I use V8 as the base for the sauce on stuffed cabbage. My mom used
tomato juice, so that's how I made it. One day I had no tomato juice but
some V8 in the pantry so I tried it and it was wonderful.

I'm not sure. There may be some culture in fresh mozzarella.
Liquid leftover from the previous day's cheesemaking is
left to sour at room temperature overnight and then used to
acidify the cheese. But there are no deliberately added microbes.

To me, even the freshest mozzarella seems a little more
"cheese-like" than cottage cheese, paneer, or Quebec curd
cheese, but this could be purely from how it has been
mechanically manipulated.

I think I was not clear about what Gedney's is producing as vs.

Oh damn. I'm sorry. I forgot this was a cooking group and y'all don't
have the tolerance for this stuff as some of us do?
seriously- I'm sorry I posted the above.

My husband is on a kick of buying those dual chamber containers of
cottage cheese on one side and some sort of fruit sludge on the other.
He takes one for a snack or in his lunch almost every day lately.

Could have been. The recipe came from my father's mother who would have
been making it down on the farm during WWII.

Thanks, Janet. That recipe looks very tasty, and I do like fennel.
However, not what my mom made. She wouldn't have known a fennel bulb from
a tulip bulb. :-) I think hers must have had a bit of sugar it it as well.
I know it had celery, a small amount of onion, and possible some green
pepper. Of course, all reduced to a juice.

Yep, if I make a my own variation of a Bloody Mary, I use V-8, along with
celery salt, Tobasco Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, and fresh horseradish.

Reminds me of something that happened at a luncheon with a co-worker many
years ago. We went out to a large group lunch, and she had said that she
liked the taste of a bloody mary but did not like any booze in it. I told
her to order a Virgin Mary when the waitress came around. By the time the
waitress got to our side of the table, my friend had gotten quite tongue-
tied in the midst of a conversation, and spouted out, "I'll have a Bloody
Virgin!"

I use V8 juice and <gasp> a can of tomato soup. I don't think the soup
contributes much in flavor, but it changes the texture of the sauce.

It's the beginning of cheese, to say the least. Virtually all cheese has
an early stage where it is in the form of curds. Cottage cheese *is*
curds.

I prefer them raw, too, but don't mind them too much if only cooked until

Oh, shoot, I thought I'd scored. I have some State Fair corn dogs in the
freezer but they're Sara Lee. I grew up on Del Monte pickles. I haven't
seen any in the supermarkets that I frequent for a long time. Their
mini-dills and dill pickle relish are a taste I miss.

Noooo, but at least cottage cheese isn't gray (if gray matter is,
indeed, gray).

I've heard of tequila in gazpacho. In fact that may be more
popular than gin gazpachos.
