Processed cheese - what's innit!
 

I know that plenty of parents use that orange coloured stuff. I'd rather go without. What's in processed cheese slices? Shock experiment may put you off them for life - Mirror Online

The stuff tastes awful. Wouldn't eat that stuff if you paid me.

I also class the rubbery marbled cheese they have out here as 'processed' - its chewy and smells (and probably tastes) like a car tyre

Re: Processed cheese - what's innit!
 

You don't like eating car tires? Personally, Armstrong cheddar is the only stuff I'll touch if I must have cheese. Usually I'd prefer to spend my money on beer :lol: and only get it when it comes on offer in No Frills for under $4 for 500g

I got to cost co for my cheese but i have cut back since I have been out here. I only really eat goats cheese as its quite reasonable out here

Re: Processed cheese - what's innit!
 

Yep, all my cheese purchases are from Costco as well. Any of that packaged processed stuff isn't cheese (cracker barrel, etc). Costco actually currently is carrying Snowdonia Cheddar... I met the guys who own that company at a food festival in London, their cheese is fantastic. Definitely recommend it! Black Bomber - Snowdonia Cheese Company

Wow!!

I was a big fan of the trickle (i think thats correct) cheese. It was very strong and crumbly.

Anything mature with a strong taste is my favourite.

Novo, then.

Re: Processed cheese - what's innit!
 

Will give it a try.

Our hamster loves cheese, but she won't touch this plastic stuff.

Re: Processed cheese - what's innit!
 

Unlike your hamster, I quite enjoy a slice of processed cheese on a breakfast muffin or burger. It melts well and has it's uses.

Re: Processed cheese - what's innit!
 

... Because the plastic stuff isn't cheese! :p

Re: Processed cheese - what's innit!
 

To be fair neither Kraft slices or cheez whizz are labelled as cheese anywhere on the package- the small letters say it's cheese product.

This is all about muppet consumers buying shite.

In general canadian cheese is very disappointing, though I do get the Armstrong marble for melting. For good cheese it's the Coastal Cheddar and I do like the Danish Royal Blue which is a Roquefort clone for maybe a buck more than the standard blue.

I will be checking out Costco for the Snowdonia stuff next time I'm out there. Hopefully with the cheese quota being increased it will become more available and some local cheese producers will catch on.

It's like juices that are labelled as "juice drink" or "fruit beverage". I once bought some ultra low-calorie granola bars that were "chocolate flavour", which actually was a bit disconcerting!

The Coastal Cheddar is also awesome, I've bought that a few times. I also like the Balderson's 5-Year Cheddar that Costco carries as a stand-by when they don't have the Coastal or the Snowdonia.

FYI, like all Snowdonia's cheeses in the UK, it comes in a wax package. The one Costco has is in black wax, and looks like a large hockey puck (lol). The wax can be a bit tough to cut through, but according to the guys who own the company, it preserves the cheese and keeps it fresher by providing a better seal until it's opened. So don't let that put you off. :) Curious to hear what you guys think when you report back! It is one of my favourite cheeses.

From Scarborough you can easily enough drive, or even <gasp> take the tram, to the market where all manner of cheese is on offer. Try the seven year white cheddar from the Olympic stand and you'll be putting the Balderson's aside to use up in cauliflower cheese.
