MOTHERFUCKING CHEESE

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

I checked, though, and Kraft singles are in fact marketed as cheese.

Sort of.

Kraft Singles are marketed under "pasteurized prepared cheese product".

Ingredients: Cheddar cheese, milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, salt, calcium phosphate, sodium citrate, whey protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, sorbic acid as a preservative, apocarotenal (color),annatto (color), enzymes, vitamin D3, cheese culture, yellow dye.

Also, I have a question:  How does the slicing process at a factory invalidate the cheese aspect, whereas doing it at home doesn't?

If you have the time, the wikipedia page on processed cheese is a good read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processed_cheese

Basically, singles are made with cheese as an ingredient, then extra milk and other ingredients are added before it's sliced and packaged. You can get pre-sliced cheddar, provolone, swiss and other cheeses at the store, they're still very much cheese. The product being sold as "singles" is wildly different in composition and flavor. There are specific guidelines for marketing food as "cheese" "Pasteurized process cheese" "Pasteurized process cheese food" and "Pasteurized process cheese spread," while there are no guidelines whatsoever for "Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product."

Ingredient one (largest quantity) is "cheddar cheese".

Flour is ingredient one in cake.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Flour is ingredient one in cake.

No, ingredient number one in cake is GO AHEAD AND BE A FATASS, ROGER.  EAT SOME FUCKING CAKE.

Man I could go for a slice of cheese with some whipped cheese on top right now.

You're sick, mister.

[LMNO]

Proof is in the cheese flavoured prepackaged pudding.

I want to see that plastic wrapped corporate cheese get dangerous.

2 kitchen fires so far.

This sounds suspiciously like "Challenge Accepted".

[Pæs]

Fuck your fake cake, give me a big ol' bag of flour any day.

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

Fuck flour, I'll just make this bread from cake. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

[EK WAFFLR]

You have to grind it yourself. With your own body as grindstone. It's not TRUE if it doesn't hurt.

Love is not all wine and roses; sometimes it's handcuffs and cheese.

any thoughts on cream cheese?

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

any thoughts on cream cheese?

Cream cheese is cheese, as is American Neufchatel. Really my hate's saved up for cheese curds and singles.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

If you take a block of cheese and slice it, it has a different consistency than singles. The singles contain cheese, much in the same way that cheese and broccoli contains cheese. There may be a lot of cheese, but there's also not-cheese in there.
