s/o Who wants to admit they eat "grated" powder parmesan cheese

[Riverfront Headmistress]

and not the real stuff. Yuck. I grew up eating kraft powder crap. Once I moved out, and found real parmesan cheese I could never go back to cheese in a plastic bottle.

We do!! :001_smile:

[Renee in NC]

We do because we couldn't afford to eat better!

[TraceyS/FL]

Both off and on here.....

 

Depends on my mood, but on some stuff Kraft is the only think i like on it :D

 

Right now - neither is in the house because we ran out.

[Nakia]

We like both!

[OnTheBrink]

I don't eat enough of it to be concerned. We get the Parmesan Romano from Aldi.

[Amie]

I do keep some around here. I like the real stuff too, but we use so little of it at a time, that it is hard to buy it and then have to throw it out before it gets eaten--waste of money. I buy the real stuff sometimes (like if I'm making lasagna), but that Kraft is handy as it will keep for a very long time. ;)

[In The Great White North]

We eat both ( and neither have any chance of going bad.)

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

[fivetails]

sprinkle cheese? (like you put on spaghetti?) ...heck yes. I love the stuff! :D

[cathmom]

If I could afford it, I would buy real and let the dc eat the powdered stuff!

[Heather in Neverland]

We do although I prefer the real stuff.

[Mekanamom]

I had been getting the Trader Joes equivalent lately... like the Kraft stuff but a little bit better (tastier).

 

But then I discovered how easy it is to grate my own with the Kitchen Aid attachments.

 

We'll be eating more of the fresh stuff, and I don't plan to buy pre-grated cheese again. :D The price may end up evening out this way... a little extra for parmesan, and a little less for blocks of cheddar. (Compared to the bags of pre-grated stuff.)

 

(I was the girl who scraped up her knuckles every single time the manual grater was put to use. The Kitchen Aid is ... a lot safer for me.)

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

I know, I know; it's scandalous! :lol:

[Plucky]

I prefer the real stuff, but my dh is nostalgic for the powder and now my kids like it, too.

[Sandy in Indy]

Nope...I grate my own. Tastes better and has no filler stuff in it!

[RebeccaS]

The real stuff is so much better tasting, but it's just not in the ol' budget very often. So, grated in the can it is.

Powder crap cheese in a plastic bottle? Holy Moses, who would eat such a thing?!?! 'Fess up! Now! Expunge the evils of Kraft Powder Crap and its ilk - Velveeta, Philadelphia, Powdered Cheese Sauce - we must rid ourselves of this evil! :D :lol:

 

:001_huh:

 

Wait.

 

You're serious?

 

Heck yes, we eat it. Moose calls it "snow on Mt. Spaghetti."

[Ellie]

I'd rather do without than use that stuff. Bleah.

That was so funny, I nearly choked on my Diet Pepsi! :lol:

 

I have bought the real stuff in the past, and it is yummy. I actually like the shredded parm better than grated. Lately, I have been buying the Kraft 100% parm cheese. My kids don't complain ;)

LOL!!! I must say though Velveeta is where we part ways. Icky.

[PrairieAir]

I usually use the store brand Parm in a plastic shaker container for recipes like lasagna and such. Sometimes I buy fresh. It is better, but it doesn't make much of a difference in a casserole type of dish or in sauces.

Please, nothing tastes better than a generous sprinkle of green can cheese over a hearty bowl of canned condensed cream of anything soup. Crumble some, "Chicken in a Biscuit", into that baby and you're gettin' your stew on (for AD fans).

You had me salivating right up to the "Chicken in a Biscuit" part. It's "Biskit", not "Biscuit", and I wouldn't touch the things. :D

 

 

 

 

Kidding. The kids and I love C in a B crackers and enjoy them on our environmentally friendly homemade-paper plates with a nice dollop of cheese. From our organic hormone-free goat.

Darn. I knew there was something about the spelling. I actually hate those things and find the very idea of putting chicken in a cracker very creepy. I worry that I'll go to the grocery and find a whole aisle of food like that: Pastrami in a Pineapple, Rotini in a Weenie, Falafel in a Waffle. *shudder*

I'm not positive, but I think they just use the, uh, nuggets.

I have to cross to the other side of the mall and scurry right past Hot Dog on a Stick.

You're killing me.

[anissarobert]

Wait a minute Zelda, Falafel in a Waffle doesn't sound too bad, but even if I were not a vegetarian, I would not eat chicken crackers. :tongue_smilie:

 

(I think I will be brave and admit that I don't like Parmesian cheese, either fresh or in a can.)

[Crissy]

How 'bout in a potato chip?

 

When we were in China last year we had a chip tasting party with our friends because we were fascinated by all the strange flavors they had to offer.

 

Some of the flavors I remember were bar-b-que chicken, tomato, seafood, seaweed, wasabi lobster, Peking Duck, beef and black pepper.

 

 

:ack2:

I prefer to grate it myself, but finances usually dictate otherwise. Fortunately, my guys couldn't care less and The Kid informed me just recently that he *prefers* the "crap." Okie dokie then! Cha-ching! :lol:

[mcconnellboys]

Well, LOL, I keep it in my fridge and use it all the time, on spaghetti, on popcorn, etc. But I also do like and use "real", grated parmesan and I occasionally splurge and buy big hunks of aged parmesan to just eat myself. I seem to crave it more in winter. I've just found a nice aged cheddar that's really reminescent of it, for some reason, and I've been enjoying it, too. I love all cheese, in all its many forms.....

[Soph the vet]

Hey, grated cheese and spaghettios fresh from the can go a long way around here.

In fact, in my single days, I ate cheese from a spray can....maybe, just maybe I did!:lol:

[Peek a Boo]

love the stuff :D

 

oldest ds is on a cooking spree and I have bought lots of types of specialty cheeses to feed his recipe experiemnts. I have tried the real parmesan shredded and grated at home. I'm not impressed.

 

I'll stick w/ the dry cheese in a can any day of the week. And the spray stuff!

:D

[iquilt]

Just bought some more crappy cheese in a can today - after spending $175 for groceries today I feel OK about the crap in the can!

[Plucky]

I made Ritz Chicken complete with Cream of Chicken soup. Lightning didn't strike me, very odd.

[FlockOfSillies]

Velveeta evil? But... but... how else am I supposed to make my MIL's perogies?!

[LadyR]

FYI - If you want the real thing, it must be marked Parmigiano Reggiano, which is made only in a certain part of Italy. If it is marked parmesan, it is a generic grated cheese.

[Garga]

Well, it's not like admitting to eating worms, so YES we eat the cheese!

[Chelle in MO]

Well, it's not like admitting to eating worms, so YES we eat the cheese!

 

So ARE you admitting to eating worms??? ;)

 

And how do all of you non-Velveeta eaters make grilled cheese properly without it? :confused:

 

Chelle

[Garga]

Chelle

 

 

:tongue_smilie: Good question....

[ummix3]

We do and I have tried the real kind. I have no idea why I don't by the real cheese it tastes so smooth and nice. Maybe next time ;)

:iagree:

[jojomojo]

mmmmmmm kraft powder crap in a can

 

Actually, we buy the generic kind :tongue_smilie:The only thing we use it on is garlic toast maybe 2-3 times a month.

[mcconnellboys]

LOL, I *still* eat cheese from a spray can. We take that kind of cheese and crackers with us all the time for outdoor field trips in the fall. If it's cheese, I eat it. Now Spam, that's another story.... I wouldn't touch Spam with a hundred foot pole..... I hear it's flying off the shelves now days though....
