Yeah, let's get all the Velveeta fans together so folks with better
taste
can point at you and ridicule you.

There is no better cheese for a tuna melt than Velveeta.

How about cheddar, gouda, havarti, or swiss? Ever try them? If not,
you are missing out!

Velveeta is crap cheese.

Yes, I *have* tried all the cheeses you mentioned as the cheese in tuna
melts, and all were inferior both in melting qualities and in taste to
Velveeta. I've also tried mozzarella, kasseri, comte, gruyere, meunster,
mimolette, and jack (both fresh and aged). None measured up to Velveeta.

Cheddar and swiss were particularly nasty, exuding a bunch of oil as they
melted.

Your opinion is noted and discarded.

Canned tuna and Velveeta sounds more like a punishment than a meal.

And good tuna melts, of course. And good chili/tomato/sausage dips,
and good egg/cheese melt sammies, and nice crab dips, and ...

This was the most interesting thing in the article:
About 5% of the population buys about 75% of all Velveeta sold in the
United States.

I don't know about grocery stores elsewhere, but in my local Safeway, you
have to look pretty hard to *find* the Velveeta. It's stashed on a bottom
shelf next to the bags of dried beans, usually behind some free-standing
display. So it makes sense that the only people who buy it are those who are
seeking it -- and they'd have to be pretty determined seekers.

Fun. :-)

I love Velveeta but rarely purchase it any more.
While far less expensive than "real" cheese per lb., I like it too much
to keep it around...

and the low cal Velveeta just does not do it for me.

Melted Velveeta and Rotel.

A southern classic with tortilla chips!

I had never had Velveeta until I got my first apartment. My roommate and I
went shopping and he picked up some Velveeta to make grilled cheese. I was
horrified at the thought. We never had it at home. And I had considered
his mom to be a very good cook so I couldn't believe she would have bought
it. And personally I didn't like the resulting sandwich at all.

I do use it now in very small quantities for certain things, like Espinaca
Con Queso, but it is mixed with other cheeses. Daughter won't touch the
stuff though. She even shudders when she sees it. She saw some today at
Costco. Really big boxes. She was mortified.

To gross out your daughter further, mention it's the "orange" in Kraft
m&c. The powdered form is the grossest. The Original (larger quantity
box) comes with the cheese ooze in a packet to skip the milk and butter
reconstituting steps. I'm a big box o' blue fan in this form!

It's also the Cheez Whiz that gets put onto Philly cheesesteaks if you
ask for it. I think it became popular on account of cheapness!!!

In whatever form it comes in, it tastes pretty much the same.

That struck me as interesting also! One of those little
oddities...like more fish sticks are sold per capita in Knoxville, TN
than anywhere else.

Did you know that 97.938% of the statistics on the Internet are made up?
