I have never tried it, just can't get past the idea of having cheese in a can like that.

Imagine velveeta thats soft enough to squirt.
One of the places in South Philadelphia that's famous for "Philly Cheesesteaks" uses it. The cheesesteak is a treat that is waiting for you.

Also, good luck with getting hold of staple St Delia of Smith ingredients such as fromage frais, greek yoghurt and creme fraiche - Where I live I'm more likely to find Jimmy Hoffa riding Shergar past Lord Lucan than I am to find that stuff.

Though I do have a friend from Scotland who pines for cheese-in-a-can. Isn't Cheez Whiz proper in jars? Think "spreaable cheese."

I don't remember UK double cream being pourable. The Foodnetwork do have a recipe for creme fraiche but I have not tried it. I used to use that a lot in the UK. My local Publix sells greek yoghurt.
