Why does....

[ColleenSwerb]

deli sliced white american cheese taste like heaven to me?

I'm eating a whole wheat pita with peanut butter, and 4 slices of american cheese (NOT in the pita) for lunch today. Am I 5 years old?!?!

 

[kscwgirl]

Yes, you're 5. We've established this. LOL I heart cheese. Except for brie. LOL

 

[ColleenSwerb]

I know WE discussed this, I was looking for a second opinion (or 3rd or 4th or 5th....)

 

[LeeAndra]

The real question is: do you have a Mott's apple juicebox in your hand??

 

[Jennifer]

No, not 5. My 5 yo hates cheese. So that makes you 3. My 3 yo loves it.

Come on, you have mine and meg's, you don't need anything else.

 

[lizzyfizzy]

it's probably from the same area in our brains and the reason i have to eat about 5 fruit roll ups at a time. we are 5. lol!!

 

[ColleenSwerb]

No LA, I don't do apple juice. Blegh.
And thanks Jennifer! LOL!

Omg Lizzy, I'm glad I'm not the only 5 year old around here

[meems]

does white American cheese taste the same as yellow American cheese? why does there need to be white AND yellow fake cheese?

No it's real cheese, not fake cheese. Real deli sliced cheese si 89054380234 times better than the fake stuff.
I think the white tastes better, but it's all in my head (or so I've been told). My grandma always bought white american when she made us lunches and I always liked it better. Probably cuz it's real cheese, not fake cheese. Kwim?

Let's upgrade you to 7 or 8 then if there's no juicebox, Col.

The real 5yo test is if you put ketchup on all meat products you eat at home: hot dogs, hamburgers, meatloaf, pork chops, steak...

[I do, but I steel myself from doing so with pork chops & steak in public so people still believe I'm a grownup.]

Bwahahaaaaaaaa.. I do this too. It drives Jeff NUTS. He'll grill steak and he'll be like.. you are NOT putting ketchup on it. Am too. LOL

 

[ShortCake]

When it comes to steak, I love A1 on it......or more like drowned in it. LOL

 

[Amber1279]

really? it is REALLY cheese? not just processed cheese? i have never had the stuff but i didn't think it was real cheese. i have no idea. i just never thought any kind of American cheese was actual real cheese. i have no idea why i think this though.

 

[ColleenSwerb]

Well for me Deli = Real, Kraft = processed. So I dunno, LOL!

ROFL. okay, so we are not cheese connoisseurs (omg, i spelled that right w/o looking it up! i just checked LOL).

 

[Amber1279]

ok, after Mimi asked, I had to go look it up.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_cheese

American cheese is a common processed cheese. It is orange, yellow, or white in color and mild in flavor, with a medium-firm consistency, and melts easily. It has traditionally been made from a blend of cheeses, most often Colby and Cheddar. Today’s American cheese is generally no longer made from a blend of all-natural cheeses, but instead is a processed cheese (i.e., it is manufactured from a set of ingredients[1] such as milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, salt) which meets the legal definition of cheese.

I totally understand what you mean Col by "real" = deli. I prefer Deli cheese most of the time. Like a REAL deli ... not quiznos, subway, ect. The Deli Cheese just seems to be a better quality. At most of the time it is the only place I can get sliced Tillamock Cheddar which is my absolute FAV cheese.
