French Onion Soup is a good idea.

Reubens. Ham&Swiss sandwiches.
I've had a Reuben casserole that was good, too.
In my house, a pound of cheese is nothing. My wife is part
and I've been known to buy cheese a case at a time.Yes, I said case...

Hmmm, turkey reubens would be really good for lunch tomorrow...

@brenda said in What to do with a pound of Swiss cheese?:
Normally we use gruyere, appenzeller, Emmentaler for fondue, but swiss should work, too. Our favorite liquid to add is champagne. It doesn't take much liquid.

@bachophile We’re lucky to have a Swiss restaurant close by with take-away. Not quite the same as going to their restaurant itself, but damn their fondue is great! Even when prepared at home on a not so great electric fondue set. But plenty of other stuff I’d also like my vaccine for

@brenda Never tried it with champagne before. Is that replacing the white wine and/or the Kirsch?
The one we usually eat is the so-called “moitié-moitié”, with equal amounts of gruyere and emmentaler, white wine and Kirsch. Also tried one with a dark beer, but I prefer the one with white wine.

The ones with holes that the moon is made out of.
But that’s what American provincials call emmental cheese

Oh I see.
In many parts of the English-speaking world the terms "Emmentaler" and "Swiss cheese" are both used to refer to any cheese of the Emmenthal type, whether produced in Switzerland or elsewhere.
Cultural appropriation at its worst!

@klaus there is also this horrible pseudo yellowish doormat consistency thing called American cheese, the thing Macdonald throws on its cheeseburgers, which I’m told is also in the cheese family.

Well, there the name “American” cheese is at least a clear warning that it’s not real cheese.

Doesn't America still own the patent on cheeseburgers?
I'm sure you ingrates owe us some royalties.
