That struck a memory in me so I had to hit up Google and found this. I think this is what you are talking about, maybe? I learned about it years ago but totally forgot about it. I did find I like Vegemite as part of a bacon, egg and cheese.  Bega cheddar cheese is a popular brand but I've never seen that processed cheese before. Not that I know how to upload pics here but I've been unable to find a pic of the Kraft in the blue box. It would be the same size as the above Bega cheese. When many people from overseas, especially Americans, try Vegemite for the first time, they smear it on as if were peanut butter. No wonder then that they find it not so good. Vegemite is a concentrate so only a little is needed. Many cooks add a little to soups and stews. Vegemite was the only thing that my boy would eat on toast or sandwiches when he was little. It's high in Vit B [B1,2,3,6,9,12] and potassium. I, like most true blue Aussies, love Vegemite. Horace Rumpole didn't.  |

I had a summer job for Meals on Wheels all the yeast rolls, government cheese, government butter and dehydrated milk a teenager could ever want. This was in the early 80s. The USDA Senior Citizen Commodity Program is strictly volunteer by the time the stuff filters down to the community level. All the $ has already been sucked out of the program. LOL! |

Horace Rumpole didn't. Not that I know who or what a Horace Rumpole is but if he didn't like Vegemite then he wasn't a true blue Aussie. Horace Rumpole is a Pommy. And as Pommy as they come. |

Yes. I didn't mean to say he was Australian, just a well known Vegemite hater.

I like room temp cheese. I too learned that because I forgot to put it up. I like all cheese though, even the pungent ones. "American" is not cheese. In the movie the Blues Brothers, Elroy throws a can of Cheese-whiz to an old fella in his boarding house. For years I had no clue what it was until an American friend explained that it was cheese in a can. Never heard of such a thing. Is that what is considered 'American' cheese? NO...But..depending on mental state of mind, hour of the day, with right cracker or what ever & beverage, is pretty good. |

When my Sister was still alive & her & her family lived in DK, & when we would visit, they always had what they called Stinky cheese. Kept it on top of the refrigerator.
They bought it in fairs etc. brought an old pair of ladies nylons & dragged it behind them till they got home.
Worst smelling stuff but tasted fantastic.

During the colder months there is usually some Limberger ripening on top of the refer here. I love it. The stinky feet odor does not last all that long. Eventually it is not much more than a ripe camembert. |

Now, now, Land O' Lakes white American is a splended cheese product. I love the stuff. Packet cheese, on the other hand, not so much. I find enjoyment in a lot of "questionable" foods. I LOVE White Castle, but that same time I love some seared fois gras with a good cherry reduction.

As it ripens that bacterial odor of gym socks fades. |

The moral of the thread...
Cut the cheese at room temperature.

But I remember eating the stuff as a kid. American cheese and baloney sandwiches (plain white bread of course). Another throwback to the sixties/seventies. Washed it down with an Orange pop that could stain the carpet. |

I was illustrating a juxtaposition in my eating habits. Gourmet/specialty? check. White Castle? check. Heck, I ate a bunch of Taco Bell crunchy tacos the other day. But I also don't turn down a good roast marrow bone with onion compote. Land O' Lakes is like the White Castle of cheese. Blue D'Auverne and/or Tete De Moine are gourmet/specialty. Both have their place in my belly. |

Just having a laugh at White Castle's expense. |
