Carol responds:

The stuff that Kraft labels "American cheese" isn't even cheese, nor
is Velveeta, which is (IMO) even fouler. I'm not sure that they're
labeled "cheddar"; if they are, they shouldn't be. Processed cheese is
an abomination and should not be inflicted on anyone.

I'm not sure where the cheese I like comes from, other than the
grocery store <wink>, but I generally buy longhorn cheddar or colby
(occasionally, mozzarella), the kind of mild cheeses that make lovely,
stringy grilled cheese sandwiches (or lasagna, if I'm in the mood for 
actual cooking, which rarely happens these days).

Carol, who wouldn't travel fifty miles just to buy cheese but would
never, ever, ever eat or buy the processed stuff that masquerades as
American "cheese"


  ***Katie: My favorite is the stuff that's actually called "processed cheese food". YUCK. I mean, it's actually CALLED processed - who wants that?
   
  I like a good colby, too. I also like a 9 year old or more cheddar, a good Stilton, sharp and tangy feta or goat cheese, a well done smoked gouda, fresh mozzarella, Robusto (which is like a cross between sharp cheddar and parmaesan, and I LOVE Cheshire cheese (which is very hard to find in the states, except at specialty shops)...I could go on, but I'll stop. I do love my cheeses, though. 
   
  I also enjoy a great grilled cheese  -  especially mozzarella, fresh basil leaves, and tomato. Yum. 
   
  I have a fantastic cheese pie recipe which I will post when I get home. It's from a medieval English recipe. Very simple, and always a hit.
