Cheese.

[Astronesthes]

Why exactly is it that wherever I go to eat, or whatever grocery store I go to buy food, EVERYTHING has cheese in it? Cheese on the fries, IN the fries, on the steak, in the potatoes, on the potatoes, in the bread loafs for crying out loud. Cheese snacks, cheese powder, cheese flavored drinks, I mean, how does a guy like me (who doesn't like cheese) even BUY food at a restaurant or a grocery store? For crying out loud. Some times removing the cheese is easy, just pull it off, and to that I have no problem. But sometimes it is baked into the food! What am I supposed to do?

Seriously folks keep your love for cheese in check, be considerate!

Well fine then! I'll take my products that don't contain cheese elsewhere.

All 2 of them.

Seriously my diet for the last few days has been saltines and tap water. Lousy.

I'm not a huge fan of cheese and I manage, what do you live in Wisconsin or something?

Upstate NY. Nothing but farms, cheese, and a defeated populous up here

Oh come on, surely there are very few foods that actually contain cheese, or even to the extent that you can taste it. And if there appear to be a lot right now, perhaps it's a new thing?

Americans and their spray on cheese.

Firstly: I can't understand how you can say that you don't like cheese. It's like saying that you don't like vegetables. Or fruit. Or meat. Or beverages. I'm willing to bet that barring lactose intolerance, there exists at least one cheese variety out of the several thousands in existence that you do indeed enjoy.

Secondly: Vegetables don't have cheese. Fruit doesn't have cheese. Water doesn't have cheese. Bread doesn't have cheese. And meat doesn't have cheese. Just buy healthy food and eat it and you'll never have to worry about cheese sneaking its way into your food. If you're ordering prepared food, you can just pretend that you have a severe dairy allergy and they will accommodate your needs by removing the offending cheese products.

Sounds like someone has a mozzarella dildo up their ass.

The point I was making was mostly joking about the quantity of items you described that actually DO contain cheese. You know they have ham now with bits of cheese IN THE HAM? All meats do this, too. Fruit doesn't have cheese, but in upstate NY all the fruit is bruised and nasty, and if you find it in fruit salad, guess what makes an appearance.. yup. Cheese.

Obviously there are items at the supermarket that don't contain cheese, otherwise I'd be dead. I was just remarking on how much cheese there is.

And, even if a cheese tastes good, I can't enjoy it. To me the thought of eating literal mold just freaks me out a bit.

Dude, they don't have any of these things unless you are eating prepared food. Which means that at some point, you have the option of requesting that it be prepared without including cheese.

There is a lot. It's addictive, has protein, tastes good, is an acquired taste, and there are thousands of varieties that all have a slightly different taste/flavor to them.

Don't buy cheese that employs mold as part of the aging and refinement process. Only select cheeses actually have mold to flavor them (and I personally don't like those types of cheeses usually). When you see a 'molded' cheese it is not referring to the use of mold for flavoring, it is referring to the fact that the cheese has been molded into a shape of some sort during the course of it's fermentation. Cheese is fermented in order to make it the way it is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese Read up. I bet there is at least one cheese which you may find desirable.

Cheese is awesome, unless you eat JUST cheese. In that case I want to puke.

Cheese in the burger? No problem. Cheese on pizza? Give me more. Cheese in water? Yum.... I mean yuk!

I actually tried putting cheese in the water. I never want that taste again.

[LucasJC]

Threaten to rape the chefs if they don't stop putting cheese on your food.

Or rape the cheese.

I beg to differ mate. Where do you live? Take a trip to one of the supermarkets near you. I guarentee you can find meat with cheese already in it, and food with cheese already on it in vast quantities.

I meant it is in many foods

Says here they're made from curds, obtained through various methods including allowing the milk to sour.

Look I'm not arguing against cheese, I don't know why I have to be defensive, I was joking and making a point that its a little silly to put cheese in everything. Obviously there are alternatives, I'm not a completely retarded gimp. Shame on me for making conversation.

[Randomguy78]

next thing you know we will have cheese in our donuts...

Meat: comes from animals. Animals: do not naturally have cheese in their flesh. Prepared food: taking raw ingredients and mixing them to produce a different result.

I'm not arguing that point. Just trying to tell you that you should have some because your reasons for not liking it don't seem to include actually trying any cheese. It won't kill you and you'll broaden your horizons for food enjoyment.

Yes. Cheese is created as a result of the fermentation of dairy products. Dairy come from many animals. No mold is used in the creation of the cheese itself, just as an additive afterwards on only specific types of cheese in order to enhance the flavors.

Dude. I'm not attacking you... just making conversation likewise. Trying to get you to come out of your anti-cheese shell to broaden/expand your horizons a little bit. You're missing out on some great food!

Cheesey thread. Oh snap! Lame pun!
