Ah, gotcha. ;-)
I was under the assumption tho' that the product they were referring
to
was the pre-sliced stuff from the grocery. That is pretty much an
imitation of real cheese in most cases.

Real American cheese, not "cheese food" pre-sliced and wrapped is a
totally
different story... Available from Central Market deli.

Central Market would have it alright! That sliced and individually wrapped
suff is amazingly bad!

OB FOOD: FRIED CHEESE CHIPS


Recipe by: Mark Thorson
Posted to: r.f.c 07SEP1998
Paraphrased by: Charlie


"Use a mild or medium Cheddar cheese. Use a potato peeler to cut into very
thin stirps. In a non-stick pan over low heat, lay the strips down. They
will go throgh 3 stages: first, they melt and the fat separates, secondly
they bubble, then third the creaminess disappears as the cheese protein
becomes properly fried.

Right when it reaches the third stage, pick it up and remove it. It will
have a leathery consistency while still hot and can be shaped in various
ways. When cool it becomes brittle. The cheese flavor is very intense and
concentrated."
