I have a HUGE confession.

[Puglover]

Everything, everybody says it's wrong and inappropriate but I just can't help it. <deep breath> Here goes. I LOVE Velveeta. I love it melted, smeared on toast, hell I love it almost any way. Help me.

[unsavedtrash]

1. best as mac and cheese

[SCDem]

2. I've never had Velveeta

I think it's kind of like the Fear Factor for me. But I like other unsavory things so I should probably just try it!

[Puglover]

6. I think of Velveeta

as the American Marmite
:D

[Hugin]

7. Eat it directly from a spray can.

The depths of depravity.

Call emergency services first tho...

;)

3. Yeah, I have a thing for easy cheese myself.

I get it, I really do.

[unsavedtrash]

4. I had a cat that would accost anyone going in the frig and not giving him

a squirt of easy cheese.

19. I have a pomeranian who has SERIOUS issues about our yogurt & granola

and she has a knock down drag out FIT if she doesn't get some when we're having.

5. Mixed with chili without beans and jalapenos

over torilla chips. YUM!

[Blue Diadem]

8. That's the best!

We love it that way. If I don't have beanless chili, the next best is mixing it with salsa.

[Puglover]

10. Putting a

a layer of it under the Tots in Tater Tot Casserole is scrumptious too.
:rofl:

[Tsiyu]

9. In a pinch I have come to admire its qualities

but it's so freakin' salty I can't eat it anymore.

It does melt into a killer grilled cheese, though.

[Deja Q]

11. Locking.

No smearing sex threads. :evilgrin:

[xmas74]

12. It melts better than cheddar.

I just had to say that.

[FizzFuzz]

13. A woman once accosted me in the store when she saw Velveeta in my cart

LOL...not as awful as that sounds, though.

she saw a bunch of organic and vegetarian items and couldn't restrain herself, it just seemed so weird to her to see the big V in there. Kind of a little blasphemous, I guess.

We laughed about it. :D

14. Velveeta -- Pasteurized processed cheese food

I didn't know cheese ate.

Actually I like it, too. And I love pugs -- though right know we have a dauchsy -- the anti-pug!

[enlightenment]

16. After years of disdain, I finally found out what "cheese food" is --

good thing I didn't spend a lot of time in the rain, since my nose was stuck so high in the air I would've drowned. I thought it was fake cheese. I was wrong. doh.

And I like Velveeta, too (in moderation . . .)

[YankeyMCC]

18. It's not fake cheese?

[enlightenment]

20. nope -- really (it just looks like its fake)

According to this website

http://pubs.acs.org/cen/whatstuff/stuff/7806sci2.html

processed chees food, like Velveeta, is:
A variation of process cheese that may have dry milk, whey solids, or anhydrous milkfat added, which reduces the amount of cheese in the finished product. It must contain at least 51% of the cheese ingredient by weight, have a moisture content less than 44%, and have at least 23% milkfat.

Pasteurized process cheese is made from one or more cheeses, such as cheddar or colby, and may have cream or anhydrous milkfat added. The cheese is blended and heated with an emulsifier—typically a sodium or potassium phosphate, tartrate, or citrate—and other optional ingredients such as water, salt, artificial color, and spices or other flavorings.

The cheese is then poured into molds to solidify and is later packaged. This processing produces a smooth, mild-tasting cheese that melts easily. For pasteurized process cheese, the final product can have a maximum moisture content of 43% and must have at least 47% milkfat. An interesting twist is that the product alternatively can be labeled as pasteurized process American cheese when made from cheddar, colby, cheese curd, granular cheese, or a combination of these; when other varieties of cheese are included, it must be called simply American cheese.

So -- since cheese is made from milk, it's still "cheese" in the broadest sense. Right?

[ret5hd]

15. well, at least it didn't have anything to do with pugs.

[lapfog_1]

17. It's also great for trout fishing - n/t
