Velveeta Fans Unite
Clueless AOL newbie Sheldon "Pussy" Katz keenly noted:
> That's utter bullshit... kids can't tell the difference between > Velveeta melted in mac n' cheese and any cheapo American cheese melted > in mac n' cheese... and neither can you. It's true that I cannot. You got me. I don't even have ONE-TENTH of the crappy mac & cheese experience that you have. I'm sure that you can even tell what lot number the American cheese was from, just like with your beloved SPAM. Bob |

It isn't a snacking cheese and would be pretty gross eaten out of hand as such. For Mac and Cheese I use three cheeses in my sauce-EXTRA sharp cheddar, Parmesan and cottage. A little mustard and/or nutmeg in the sauce is a must also. It won't be artificially orange but it sure will taste good. Colby, as someone else suggested, would be entirely too mild for my Mac&Cheese. |

Velveeta has its place, and everything food is a matter of taste. I find processed cheese on/in Mexican food to be vile, and Velveeta with corned beef or on a "cheesteak" would make me shudder. But that's me. Someone else may find those combinations to be ambrosia, and that's ok. When we make mac & cheese, both the wife and the gals want the wife's version, made with Velveeta and topped with homemade croutons and baked. And I will admit to liking Velveeta atop a good burger once in a while. -- Best -- Terry |

When finances were at a low, one of the things we ate for dinner was noodles and cottage cheese (or pot cheese) with a little sour cream in it. Noodles and cheese was a comfort dish for me for years. My kids never liked it so I haven't had it for years and years. Thanks for sparking a memory. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |

Velveeta is good for what it is. A processed mac-n-cheese/cheeseburger cheese (though I'l admit to preferring baby swiss over all others atop a burger). The cheese factory near me makes the best muenster, I believe, on the planet. Still, every now and then, I love the taste of Veeta. Just takes me back to my boyhood. Gouda's a good wine cheese. Horseradish Havarti is just flippin' sublime to me. I'm always hopeful the soft cheeses will become wildly popular, so our consumers will pressure our govt to make it legal to make the live cheeses Euros enjoy. Of all the great cheeses, there is only one I can't stomach: any one of them that is cold. Room temp or warmer for em, thanks. |
