Not trying to mislead. Here's my story:

I always have and use extra sharp cheddar. Nothing like the cheese
product.
I wasn't talking about texture but I will guess (TM Dsi1) that the
texture would probably be about the same in a MELTED grilled cheese
sandwich.

My comment was about taste. I have a recipe that calls for
"Old English Cheese." I've always used it and the recipe is good.
The last time I bought some, I decided to taste it plain out of the
jar. With the name, I expected some unique taste. Not so. To my
dismay, it tasted just like the sliced american cheese product
and costs at least twice the amount of money.

So I looked at the ingredients and saw it's real cheddar cheese just
watered down into a spread.

Next time I make that recipe, I could add 5oz of the fake cheese and
nobody would notice the difference.

And that's why I said it tastes like mild cheddar cheese.
