Cheese clogs our pores and the folds of our minds. Bacon has dulled our taste and beer our discretion. Squirrels plague our dreams. The sleety storms of Scotland overwhelm us.

I've edited my post. That was actually in response to Steve's question regarding squeeze cheese; but you managed to slip a reply in between the two.

I hate it when that happens.

When Armageddon arrives and the Salvation Army truck comes down your street to deliver your salvation, don't look for them to stop at your door.

You're a sick man.

What did you memorize the Rachel ray cook book? Well, I can practically guarantee "the Joy of Cooking " never mentions Velveeta.

Frustrated with the Velveeta attacks.....I finally resorted to asking Otis to "unleash the squirrels" in this thread in defense of fabulous Velveeta.

He replied....." I'd help you with most anything, you know I would, and I'd sacrifice a thousand squirrels on your behalf.......but I can't do a thing for you in defense of Velveeta.....Ive got my reputation to think of."

There's lots of places to do the other thing. I go on the CBC news site and talk politics all the time. This thread is about the ridiculous, that just might be serious.

We all know discussing cheese is ridiculous, but sometimes you wonder about the Veleeta posts. Are those guys serious? Or are they joking like the rest of us... I don't know. DO they really love that stuff so much, they defend it like they are defending their honour? I think they are joking, but hey, it's possible they are not.

Velveeta brings up serious ethical considerations, that need to be considered. If you don't understand that , you're in the wrong thread..

Cheese is not ridiculous. Ask a dairy farmer, or a cheese maker. They dedicate their life to maing the stuff. We just enjoy eating it when we choose to eat it, but we do not live it.
