I just found half a block of the stuff in the fridge, that's leftover from the Super Bowl.

Looks ok to me, and I do have a can of Rotels...

And think about this: Velveeta isn't in the cold/frozen section of the grocery store. It's just sitting in the lumber/tools/fertilizer dept.

I don't have a problem with processed cheese in and of itself per se, but, Velveeta is flat out disgusting. It's worth the trouble to find Land o Lakes Extra Melt for Queso. Rotel is gross too. Just buy a can of green chiles and fire roasted tomatoes (or better yet good salsa) if you're too lazy to make queso from scratch.

Blue Bell velveeta flavored ice cream.

Velveeta never goes bad. It will last longer than the USA.

Just cut off the dried ends and use for dipping and eating. Mmmmm...so cheesy.

Also, don't forget the fresh cilantro when making your queso and the fresh pico de gallo and extra seeded jalapenos.

worked with a dude that did an internship with some cheese company and he told me that "velveeta" type cheese is just the foamy stuff they scrape off the regular cheese every morning.......not sure if that is accurate but it hasnt slowed me down over the years.

The half life of half a block is only a quarter life. You're gonna vomit.

I'm having queso hot dogs for lunch at this very moment. Crunched up a few Fritos corn chips on the dogs as well.

Not bad. I feel like I'm back in college.

It's not at all accurate.

Processed cheese is the result of real cheeses emulsified in a liquid using a type of salt. Check out the Sodium Citrate Queso thread on the Food Board and you'll get the gist.

I don't care what it's made of. Melt it down and squeeze it in my piehole.

I'm old enough I should have caught that. Blue star for you

Oh wow, that led me to the Velveeta Wiki page. Turns out it used to be made of real cheese for its first 75 years and no longer is. I thought I simply outgrew it. Turns out Kraft reformulated to the disgusting version on shelves today on purpose

Damn, you lived the good life in college. That's considered gourmet for me.

That's still on my main comfort food menu. Try it with the chili cheese fritos. Bueno!

You used to have to buy half-life in order to play counter-strike.

Dust off your stats book, buy allot of Velveeta, and start collecting data.
