Cheez Whiz used to have more taste. They removed some ingredients like
tamarind. Last time I tried it, it tasted of nothing in particular.

And how would that work, exactly? Cheese is cheese. What it might do is
put you on a par with France, cheese-wise, with respect to CLA, not taste.

Oh, of course. Corn has naturally occurring ULA (Unconjugated Linoleic
Acid) which negates the effect of cheese's CLA and thereby causes a vicious
cycle of weight yoyo which is the basis of the diet industry.

Or something like that.

For cheese steaks, I use American or Provolone. I have used Mozzarella
a couple of times.

My only use for Velveeta, other than a door stop, is in chili con queso.
Nothing else works as well.

Some stores carry them year 'round, others just around the holidays.
They have a ridiculously long shelf life, IIRC.

I never understood the fascination with cheese steaks and I've had them
in several places in Philly that were supposed to be authentic. To me
it's a skinny piece of fried meat slathered with Cheez Whiz and
garnished with fried onions. The rolls are usually better than the filling.

Our local cheese factory, a few miles out of town, claims to have beaten
the French at their own game:

Hi Dan! Thanks for the tip. Maybe you would like to join us in the
excursion. We're working on a trip to Sebastipol, and a trip to Navarro
Vineyards in Mendocino County in the near future as well. We do love our
little road trips! Ask TammyM!

And exactly what game is that?

As for their awards, they refer to "16 awards in the American Cheese
Society International Competition and 6 Medals in the “World Cheese Awards”
Competition". How many French cheeses were submitted in competition in the
American Cheese Society International Competition?

The "World Cheese Awards" are London (UK, one presumes although it doesn't
specifically say so) and Wisconsin (US, one presumes). Beating the English
doesn't amount to a victory over French cheeses at all.

And my guess is we're talking pasteurized cheeses here, not raw milk which
is much more popular in France.

They claimed to beat French cheeses. I didn't see any detail, either.

They pasteurize their milk. For a while, there were a few complaints
about unwanted mold, so they started pasteurizing the cheese, and I
stopped buying it. They no longer pasteurize the cheese.

The wines in the Lubbock area are the best Texas offers. All of the
grapes are locally grown. The worst Texas wine is the pretentious crap
in Del Rio. FEH!

Think about it: that's *setting* fashion, not responding to it.
We wore them first. Way first.

We had some wine from a Texas winery called Becker Vineyards, and it was
very good. We had it on a cruise out of Galveston, one of our table
mates brought a few bottles to share with the table.

Doh! I meant to ask, are there any brands you recommend?

Well, any time I've ever taken caviar to a New Years party, it got
devoured! :-) It's a bit expensive, hence expanding it making those
cream cheese pinwheels. I prefer to eat it with cream cheese anyway.
It is a compatible flavor and it cuts the saltiness a bit.

I made that particular batch for my sister. She was quite pleased.

The previous year, I'd made a mixed cheese ball for a party I went to
and "frosted" the cheese ball with whipped egg whites mixed with caviar.
It worked out rather well.

I took an extra jar to the party to serve as well, but my host stashed
it. <g> Turns out he was a caviar lover too and considered the unopened
jar to be a "host gift".

I was ok with that!
