I'm having part of a Kaukauna cheese ball with celery for dinner. I remember
buying these a lot as a child. Also their cups of cheese. I loved the Port
Wine one. Those seem to have disappeared. And I rarely see any other cheese
balls. Central Market had some around Christmas time but they were over $8
for one ball.

I do remember making them once as a child. Rolled one in chopped parsley,
another in some kind of nuts and another in something red but I can't
remember what it was.

Do you like them? Do you eat them?

You may not see them, but I bet they're there. They should have gone
out with the "savory" molded jello salads of the 60's. If I'm going
to make or eat a cheese ball, it's going to be rolled in nduja. As
far as I know these don't exist yet, I just invented it 30 seconds
ago. It would probably be practically illegal to make such a thing
in Italy just(*******ized cheese, then rolled in meat? Might as well
try and sell it Kosher jews). Mascarpone would work since it needs
to the flavor help it can get.

As for spreadables, Wispride was always better than Kaka-huna. Bel
already started to **** up Wispride in 1995 when Bel bought them.
So when Bel wanted to buyout/merge with Kaka-huna, Kaka-ghuna was
more than happy to putt the nail in Wispride's coffin by ****ing
putting Kaka-huna in Wispride tubs. It worked, and got rid of their
competition.

And don't get me started on Bel and their signature "Laughing Cow"
cheese. I find it hard to believe people buy that shit in France
(where it's made). Well, except foe the French Vietnamese.

Best cold-pack cheese products are Black Diamond (Canada). But the
32oz tubs at the club stores are a better quality formulation than
the 8oz tubs you may find closer to, and within Canada. The
Chardonnay White Cheddar was something special, but only sold at
Sam's Club a couple-few years ago.

I have never looked for a commercially-prepared cheese ball. I make one with cream cheese,
shredded Cheddar, and Earl Grey Chutney. It is really good, although an unusual flavor.
