I went to the deli counter at the supermarket once, and asked for a pound of American cheese- but didn't specify which brand. They handed me a pound of something called "Pasteurized Cheese Product" ????
As to the dairy industry's problem, I suspect it has something to do with the milk price being based on the price junk cheese brings on the CME
Jeff, it is outrageous! And they want to change the standard of identity for ice cream so they can make that out of junk too...not that they pay any attention to the standards anyhow. And the CME, oh, man, that is just a crime. Trade a few blocks of imaginary cheese that never actually changes hands and lower the milk price for thousands of farmers....be nice if somebody cared enough to fix that mess
Lisa, we eat it camp week...and I make sure and never buy the kind made by the company that starts with K because they are not so very nice to dairy farmers. Otherwise Becky has a great recipe that she has worked on over the years, for the real deal, and we have that. one of these days I will put the recipe up
Linda, we love it! The real kind, not the boxed gunk
Linda B, you betcha, nothing better on a cold winter day.
