/ck/ - Food & Cooking

it's aged precisely zero days. I want a company to suffer and have to store my cheese for at least 6 months.

What's wrong with real cheese behaving like actual cheese that isn't psychosomatic distress over things not being like a tv ad?

Why invent the automobile when the horse and carriage will do just fine

>>14192267
what a retarded analogy

>>14191759
Well, it's not fucking cheese.
I understand americans are fine with that but i just wish you could taste actual cheese some day.

>>14192637
Better analogy is that the automobile is slower and takes stinker shits than the horse.

>>14192263
That wasnt what was stated. You should comprehend what you're reading instead of trying to be a clever bitch, you dumb bitch.

>>14192647
I wish I can try it someday too anon

>>14191759
It's cheese mixed with plastic to make it soft.

>>14193669
It's cheese mixed with milk and an emulsifier like sodium citrate.

>>14191759
>They pretty much exist because they don't get oily or break down like most actual cheese and instead give you the perfect melty consistency.
>they don't get oily or break down like most actual cheese
Cheese is not made from oil, but since you live in murica, I'm not sure that applies to you.

>>14194390
1. Oily is a word meant to describe something as having the consistency of oil. It doesn't necessarily mean to describe something as having oil in it.
2. American cheese was specifically made to not have that consistency when melted. It's the entire point of it.
To sum up: your entire post made no sense. You should probably delete it before more people see how foolish youve been.

>>14191759
it tastes gross, nigga

>>14191759
It's not cheese.
And desu it's just not as tasty on its own. It's not creamy like soft cheese and it's not satly and sharp like hard cheese. There are none of the natural enzymes that my fermentation loving body craves.

It tastes like the plastic it's stored in.

I guess it's great to go on low quality bread, but It's low quality cheese on low quality bread. A depressing "cheese" for a depressing "meal"

>>14191759
It's not age, that's barely even cheese anon.
This is a decent cheese but I prefer the 18month.

>>14196105
Is that Heidi Ann? I love Heidi Ann cheese.

>>14196110
That one is Prästost (Priestcheese?) from Kvibille but the ones from Arla and Allerum is good as well it's a cured cheese with strong flavor (semisalty with a nutty hint and something I can't really describe) and somehow both a hard and soft creamylike texture, it's awesome but the only place I can think of where it might be found abroad is perhaps at IKEA I mean they have always been a good source for caviar no matter what country one is visiting.

Why are you people so fucking obsessed?

>>14195555
Real cheese even when melted doesn't have the consistency of oil.
>You should probably delete it before more people see how foolish youve been.
No thanks. I enjoy freedom of speech.
>>14196604
>makes a thread about specifically murican problems and murical foolishness of not being able to procure real cheese.
>complains when people point that out.

>>14191759
It's inferior to real cheese in all contexts and barely cheaper.

Cheddar when melted, sweats and gets greasy/oily, as in this image. It also becomes more of a stringy/stretchy consistency. It tastes fine, but this is not the desired consistency in most situations. Especially not for a grilled cheese.

>>14197252
Cheese product, as it were, melts completely and becomes a liquidy oozing semi solid at it's meltiest.

This is word to all of you non burger cooking foreigners out there who are clueless and probably never actually make burgers.

>>14191759
No one who complains about cheese product even fucking uses cheese, these are a bunch of starving europoors and australian shitposters.

>>14196604
Nothing happens in their countries so they look to us for stimulation.

>>14196973
Real cheese when melted does not have the consistency of oil, but the oils in the cheese separate from the solids.

>>14196155
Kalles is roe not caviar even though us swedes refer to it as such.

Also port salut 4 lyfe

Why do non Americans think all we have is IWS PCP? This is how much of it I have in my department (including the OP product)...

>>14197405
...and this is the rest of my cheese labeled as just cheese (although the pre shredded does include corn starch, I advise to grate your own).

>>14197405

>working at Kroger
I'm sorry anon

>>14197405
Those prices for fake cheese.

>>14197410
Don't tell the euroids, but Kroger secretly sells real cheese. Sliced wheels and everything. They'd probably kill themselves if they found out.

>>14197434
>stinky
oh gee, I sure do love me some stinky cheese!

>>14197419
I worked a desk job in the financial services industry for 15 years. I'm much healthier and happier stocking milk and eggs. Kroger is a bitch of a company though, fuckers don't give a shit about employees or customers. They'll make us wear a mask for PR mock safety whilst selling you four for ten buck twelve packs of diabetes drink. The only thing worse than the upper management is the joke of a union. If HEB makes it up here that's where I'll go work.

>>14196973
>and murical foolishness of not being able to procure real cheese.

Do you seriously think we can't get real cheese here?

>Eurocucks who don't know how american supermarkets work
American cheese singles go on some burgers and grilled cheeses, if someone wants to eat cheese with a glass of wine, then we buy actual fucking cheese.
>being this obsessed over one product
>being so cucked your only cope is to shit on cheese product

>>14197971
Youre a fat retard, stop lying and making us look bad

>>14197980
>all americans are obese and stupid
cope harder

>>14191759
Generally higher fat contents, more uniform "plastic" texture, and produced faster and with little to no aging so the taste is very simple, lacking the complexities that develop from different stages of fermentation. Naturally aged cheese has a heterogenous distribution of fat and crystals of tyrosine and calcium lactate.

>>14198065
Greeeaaaat. Now put in on a burger. Wait, you don't make burgers, let alone are a burger expert.

>>14198078
Yes, burgers usually want a good melting cheese that doesn't overpower the patty so processed singles are a good choice. Still an aged cheddar or other strong cheeses are nice on a burger sometimes.

>>14197360
Yes that is true and personally I prefer our so called caviar to traditional caviar.

>>14197410
That is insane, don't you have any real cheese?

>>14191759
When i make an egg sandwich or a burger i reach for the most highly processed dye filled american garbage i can find. i know it's not quality food, but it's the appropriate tool for the job.

everything else, I use decent cheese.

>>14191759
I enjoy processed cheese product. It is made from cheese, but made into a more convenient form. Additionally, the processing usually results in a cheese being a great melter for things like sandwiches.

why is cheddar so expensive bros

>>14196973
America won best cheese in the world last year. Fuck off you French LARPing fucking Ontario living bitch.

what the fuck is wrong with you people.
"cheese product" is fine. probably 80% of the problem people have with it is that it's "not cheese", and the remainder is just personal preference.

it's "not cheese" in the same way that sparkling wine is "not champagne". the parts are the same. if you eat a block of "cheese product", it breaks down in your stomach to the same shit as if you ate a block of cheese. it's just assembled in a different, more "synthetic" way.
that's not a bad thing. it's not any more or less healthy than regular cheese, but it is a different product.

Its not cheese and not a substitute for cheese either.
Its an american ingredient exclusively used to cater to americans and used as cheap filler in the garbage gimmicky slop they eat.

I 100% agree with OP. I put American cheese on burgers and shit. My boyfriend acts so disgusted when I use it on anything like fuck off and let me enjoy my cheese.

>>14191759
it doesn't taste good

>>14198243
That is real cheese. See the word "product?" Neither do I.

>>14197595
Ever had Limburger?

>So, care to explain what's wrong with "nigger" that isn't purely psychosomatic distress over the perceived evils of words like "melanin" and "ethnocentrism" and "nig-nog"?

>If I were wanting to have some nigger by itself, or perhaps on some crackers, I certainly would prefer actual niggers to mixed-race, however, these "half-niggers" work perfectly well for things like plantations, football, unemployment, zoos, etc. They pretty much exist because they don't get oily or break down like most actual niggers and instead give you the perfect melanin consistency.

>>14197424
Agreed, the Kraft PCP on the bottom is pretty ridiculously priced, and although their deli deluxe is real cheese you can get better stuff at that price from the actual deli. Kroger brand for a buck flies off the shelf.
>>14197434
I actually work at a tier 3 store (mainstream) and we don't have a cheese shop. We're the only one left around here that's not a signature or marketplace store which have those. My deli still does have more of the higher priced stuff, just not to the extent pictured. In the dairy section the highest end we have is kerrygold or Tillamook. It's mostly not IWS PCP though, real goddamn cheese for the most part.
>>14199468
They're just trolling or dumb. Definitely have tons of Sargento.

>>14199840
Does Kroger deli do Boar's Head? I don't remember.
