American cheese product

[Doctor Phibes]

Due to a set of unforeseen circumstances involving our neighbour's fridge being full or something (I can't actually remember all the sordid details), I'm ashamed to say that we now have a large packet of something called 'American Pasteurised Prepared Cheese Product' in our fridge.

I'm even more ashamed to say I've just eaten some of it. I fully expect to start shouting at people about gun control later today.

Heat some of the cheese with Hormel canned chili. Use it as a tortilla chip dip. I'm ashamed to say hubby and I love this stuff, but we only have it at his sister's house. I've never made it here at home.

Because of this thread, I now want to make some. It's all your fault.

I was thinking of making beer cheese soup, a surprisingly delicious little number which I was introduced to by one of your compatriots a few years back.

Well, when I say 'making', I really mean drinking beer and eating the slices of cheese whilst watching TV.

"Cheese product" is a chemical lab test with a smidge of milk added to it. "Cheese food" is how they label real cheese.

I've recently been eating something that is called 'Old Croc' cheese. It's Australian.

I initially assumed that it was named after an aquatic reptile beloved of our antipodean friends, however I'm beginning to think that it's actually produced by scraping the insides of plastic Australian footwear, after an evening spent chasing the Sheilas through the outback, or possibly outhouse.

It makes pretty good cheeseburgers or grilled cheese. If you can lower your nose long enough to eat it.

LOL

Also, if you melt it with a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes and chiles it makes a great queso dip. But only if you like spicy.

Velveeta and salsa heated up in the microwave make an awesomely addictive and way too salty dip for tortilla chips which you pay for big time the next day if you also drink too much beer.

Brown a pound of ground sausage and throw in there...

[Mik]

even better

I feel like I've stumbled into the headquarters of a cult...

Fifteen years, Phibes. Fifteen years and you are just now figuring that out?

[LuFins Dad]

Notice how all of this keep circling back to beer? Beer cheese soup... Beer and queso...

[Doctor Phibes]

You need a lot of beer to dissolve American Cheese Product.

So, I don't understand.

Is it an "American Cheese" product, as in a product related to "American Cheese?"

Or is it an "American Cheese Product" as in a product that's sorta like cheese made in America?

[Doctor Phibes]

Real cheese would just be labeled 'cheese' in any sane world.

Such an optimist.

"Easy cheese" is another one that leaves me baffled.

I mean, who in the heck thought "Cheese is really nice, but it just requires so much effort....I know, let's put it in a freaking can!"
