American cheese is usually not even legally cheese. It is a processed dairy product

Sorry, but YUK!!!

 

[Boris]

You just "gotta wanna"!

Yeah, true...but those engines are outstanding, especially the Lionel Alcos.

Don't knock it without trying it

It has its place but I wouldn't confuse it for real cheese. I like real cheese much better but this has its place.

We have a similar 'cheese' here in the U.K. We give it a very wide berth where it is sold.

 

[Boris]

you're wondering what went wrong with me that I don't like the American cheezes.

Nothing wrong with that, old timer. I don't like any cheese ...arguably because, it don't like me.

Good afternoon. 36°, and clear at sunset. One consolation, in another week, the days begin to get longer.

Bought new tires for the Caddie today...third set...First time I've driven since before my hospitalization, last year.

Nothing else is happening right now.

What do they call it?

David - Chad is correct, American Cheese is not really cheese at all. Note that it says "cheese product" on the leading brand from Kraft.

It is individually wrapped in plastic.

It works for burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches and a few other things.

Afternoon All,

Started out with chores then took Dad to the VA, only to find out he hasn't been taking his lung meds (for no reason) and now he has mucous in his lungs. W.T.H.

Cheesegate: I like American Cheese on sandwiches hot or cold. I don't like cooked cheddar but like it chilled.

Karl- Great job on the motive power.

Bill- The town reminds me of older western towns.

Willie- Nice job on the radiator.

I hope everyone has a good night.

Willie, that's not real cheese. Notice even the label says Pasteurized Processed Cheese Food. Look closer and find out that is is largely hydrogenated vegetable oil. Boo Hiss!! I refuse to eat it.
I prefer real cheese from the Deli counter at the supermarket or the local delicatessen.
Does that make me a cheese snob??

Next project after the diners are completed: One baggage dorm for the San Francisco Overland. It'll get the Overland yellow & gray scheme with SP lettering. The prototype was a converted US Army hospital car. It'll be here next week!

 

[Patrick]

and now for something completely different

Wondered when someone would pull Monty Python out ...

I forgot "grilled cheese sandwich". I agree it works on burgers, the aforementioned sandwiches, and things like fried egg sandwiches.

Real cheese for most things though and also can be used for the above uses as well.

A British author friend just posted this pic on her FB page...

I pointed out that Americans might get the wrong connotation about a cookie/biscuit named "Digestive"

In other news, I finally completed the bar purchases enough to do a proper Vieux Carré

It's yummy, despite the name. I did skip half of the bitters, though.

3/4oz each bourbon (going to try Rye next time), Sw Vermouth, Cognac. 1/2 oz Benedictine, and one dash each of Angostura and Peychaud's bitters. (I'm not big on bitters, so double the bitters if you like them).

What do they call it?

We have Kraft Singles, which is bad (imo) and there is a cheese that is sold wholesale to businesses. I do not know the name, but it is absolutely terrible.

It is well after midnight.

Back tomorrow.

stay safe

It was only a matter of time!

Must be the same family as Velvetta?

Ever read the ingredients on that!

Hey, I resemble that remark.

Think that's most of us anyway isn't it? But it could be worse, could have described it as "the old farts club"

So what is your take on cheesecake.
