"Really Thin"?
I buy the Tillamook pre-sliced cheddar cheese slices for my homemade
cheeseburgers. It's bad enough that "sharp" cheddar slices have been discontinued, but now the medium cheddar slices have been corrupted. I didn't notice until I was making a cheeseburger, today, that those same pre-sliced cheeses are now, "Really Thin" slices. WTF!? Yes, we're talking seriously thin. About half as thick as a regular American cheese slice. It's my own fault for not seeing the "Really Thin" (in huge letters) on the pkg, but still. I also notice Tillamook has stopped making "Vintage White Cheddar", which is cheddar aged for 2 yrs. In short, Tillamood has taken it in the shorts and is now jes crap cheese! So sad. nb |

Personally, I hate (really hate) the extra thick sliced cheese. These variations in thickness is meant to appeal to various buyers. Anyway, cheese on a burger is nasty. Janet US |

I buy "really thin" provolone for my husband, who is still seriously watching his thermodynamics. He can put a couple of those on a crust <http://www.flatoutbread.com/products/thin-crust-artisan-pizza/rustic-white/> with tomato sauce and call it pizza. He hasn't eaten real pizza in more than a year, so this more or less satisfies his cravings. He's lost more than 160 pounds; now the really hard work begins. You can, you know, use more than one slice on a cheeseburger. Not that I'd know, since I don't put cheese on my burgers. I bought a package of really thin Kraft mozzarella slices, which he didn't like (not enough flavor). I've been eating them three at a a time, melted onto a piece of multigrain toast that was rubbed with a fresh garlic clove. It's good alongside a bowl of vegetable soup, and amps up the meal's protein satisfactorily. So what if it's like eating melted wax on a slice of garlic toast? Cindy Hamilton |

The really thin Kraft ones that I bought have a sheet of paper between each slice. I didn't pay attention to the price when I bought them, but I bet it's considerably higher than the regular stuff.

Calories in versus calories burned. Weight loss is, at the bottom, all about thermodynamics, even if you can game your metabolism by avoiding carbs and suchlike. The Rutherford quote just popped into my head: "All science is either physics or stamp collecting". I really have too much junk in my mental attic. Cindy Hamilton |

No but it does get messy. I kept finding cheese shrapnel all over the kitchen floor. This cheese is not only thin but brittle, especially at the corner. Perhaps brittle isn't quite the right word. But the corners snap off. |

Trust me, you'd have a really big mess. Thankfully I only bought a small package. I made sure to use them up right away. |

Just be careful and they will separate fine. Some things I want it that thin. When I want thicker, I will put 2 slices on whatever. Even 3 if I just want a swiss cheese sandwich. I've never had any parts end up on the kitchen floor. |

No matter what she was talking about, only a slob would end up with cheese parts on the kitchen floor. Do you have that problem too? Is that why you are feebly trying to defend what she said? |

I don't like Emmenthaler, Gruyere, or Jarlsberg, all of which I have tried. Then again, I don't like any cheese very much, and the more flavor it has, the less I like it. Cindy Hamilton |

I have a wedge of Jarlsberg in my fridge and it doesn't taste near as good as the deli swiss I have. And I bought that Jarlsberg only because ppl here (Sheldon, I think) claimed how it was so much better. Not for me. |
