Do you mean poor as in not wealthy or as in pitiable? Because if it's the former you can buy plenty of "real" cheese for less than velveeta charges for their weird logs. Especially gouda. Gouda is piss cheap.

In the UK there even the most basic cheddar is actual cheddar. as in an actual pure dairy product. Really the only reason velveeta is that widespread is because of the effect of past USA depressions without a strongly established real cheese industry.

BraveUlysses posted:Because most people don't keep sodium citrate to allow normal cheese to emulsify and remain that way? It is real cheese and it has a few legitimate uses. All you need for cheese to emulsify perfectly is corn starch and some whole milk. Processed cheese products are just a way to sell you less value for more money under the guise of convenience.

pentyne posted:I don't get the velveeta hate. It works perfectly for what it was meant for, a cheese and melts extremely easily and doesn't clump up or have pools of fat in the sauce. Same with margarine, great for baking, terrible for any other alternative use of butter. Velveeta and Ro-Tel tomatoes is a great party dip and I refuse to apologize for it. I even have a scar on my arm from making it (because I am incompetent).

I handily hosed it up 2-3 times before I got it coming out consistently (and I get that that's frustrating, especially if you're using nice cheeses) but it's sure as hell worth learning. Never going back. loving up is part of learning anything, especially cooking.

What kind of area are you talking about? There's a lot of places in the US where Walmart is the only game in town, and some people are so isolated that just going there is a 45 minute drive. That's why the whole theory of a "food desert" exists: an area where food is very common and cheap in terms of raw calories, but it's not necessarily healthy or high quality.

I was treated to a tasting menu at a fancy hipster/gastropub type restaurant for my birthday this year. The third or fourth course was a foie gras dish with mushrooms and blueberries. Looked like barf in a bowl... Tasted pretty good but my wife had to choke back a gag reflex when she realized the aroma closely matched the yeasty, sweet smell of our dog's recent ear infection. It was uncanny. I ate it anyway (it was expensive). Well, that's my gross food story. Thanks for reading! E: I don't have a photo because live tweeting my dinner feels retarded. Just gis really cheap beef stroganoff and imagine blueberries floating in it. egyptian rat race has a new favorite as of 04:38 on Apr 12, 2016 |

Rigged Death Trap posted:In the UK there even the most basic cheddar is actual cheddar. This is true in the US as well. Velveeta is not a cheese it's a cheese convenience product, like dip. Saying "oh you sill Americans why don't you just use real cheese and melt it the right way" about Velveeta is like me saying "Why do you Brits use squash when juice is so easy to make?". It's a thing that makes certain things (mac and cheese, cheese sandwiches etc) easier to make if you're lazy. American Cheese, which people often confuse with Velveeta but is not Velveeta, is like any other cheese, there is bad American cheese (Kraft singles) and there is good American cheese (Boars Head White American). Judging all American cheese by kraft singles is like judging [insert British dietary staple here] by the Tesco value version of it.

Kraft singles keep for longer than regular cheddar cheese, so lazy as in you skip the step where you look for mold or remember when you bought that cheese.

chitoryu12 posted:I was doing some research on food history because of all the "White people food is gross and bland" jokes and it seems like what most people joke about as "white people food" is actually just food descended from poverty and is usually eaten by the poor still today. World War II helped kill a lot of the use of spices and interesting foods in America and the UK due to rationing and American cuisine suffered in the 19th century with the large portion of the population engaging in travel and settlement, so only the really egalitarian parts of the populations continued eating anything awesome. We're finally now in an age where people are rich enough and transport is cheap enough that you can create virtually any world cuisine with as much or as little spice as you want for a low price, but the momentum of the past has kept the shittier stuff going. well yeah like 70% of racism against white people is making fun of centuries-deep poverty

Efexeye posted:"cheese food', which is how Kraft singles are labelled, isn't cheese. It actually is though, by any reasonable definition. quote:Kraft singles do not qualify for the US FDA Pasteurized Processed Cheese labeling. For this reason Kraft labels them Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product to avoid FDA sanctions. They were calling Kraft Singles Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Food until the FDA gave them a warning in December of 2002 that the product could not be legally labeled as 'food' due to the inclusion of Milk Protein Concentrates. Kraft complied with the FDA order by changing the label to the current Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product. Kraft singles do however contain ingredients in common with cheddar cheese (pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, enzyme(s), annatto vegetable color) So unless you're making the stupid and pedantic argument that this solid, edible substance is actually not food because the FDA says so, it's also dumb to argue that it's not cheese.

Pasteurized process cheese- contains 100% cheese Pasteurized process cheese food- contains at least 51% cheese. Pasteurized process cheese product- contains less than 51% cheese. It's less than 51% cheese, how can you call it cheese

It's a dairy product that has virtually nothing in common with cheese as anybody would understand it, but that doesn't make it evil or plastic. It's just its own thing.

The rapid ramen cooker was on Shark Tank, but I can't find the pitch and response on YouTube. He eventually made a deal and had multiple offers. Shark Tank has a lot of goofy kitchen gadgets. And food items that capitalize on various modern fabs, now that I think about it.
