I like a lot of different kinds of cheese. But I will never pass up a chance for some queso fresco. For a time there was a cheese plant in a small town near where we lived in in SE New Mexico. They sold cheese curds and a few other cheeses in the lobby of the facility. They made a good deal of money off me cause I really liked those cheese curds. I'm still wearing some of them. The place closed down or I would be in worse shape! But I'm glad that where I live now, it's always possible to buy good queso fresco. What a great snack! But so are many other kinds of great cheese as well.
I grew up on a dry land farm with a dairy. When I was young, my mother made clabber. I liked it very much. I also happen to like good buttermilk, mostly just to drink once in a while, but lots of the store bought stuff is not even a reasonabe facsimile of good buttermilk.

The Cabot back in that time WAS NOT mass produced. Now cabot owns/operates several dairies in VT and NY.
Cant get the Shelburne stuff here but may have to have family up there send some. Havent tried it.

I'm about with you there but if someone stumbles over a flavor that gets them all a-flutter, fine and dandy.
I'm just glad we're not talking about bourbon or beer.

I must like cat vomit. Because I likes me some Velveeta! Processed, yes, salty, yes, but tasty to my unrefined blue collar mill town tongue.

I'm about 10 minutes from an Amish store that makes their own fresh cheese. Just about any type, flavor, or stench one can imagine. My wife swore when I first discovered them that I wouldn't duke for a month.. challenge accepted.
Anyone remember government cheese?
Reminded me of Velveeta but never got soft.

I do. That was back in the mid-1980s as I recall. One of the secretaries in our department used to bring it in to share with her colleagues. She was a divorced single mother and qualified for welfare assistance even though she was a full-time senior secretary. Our employer, the State of Texas, in its never-ceasing quest to keep down costs, figured it could use Federal funds to help pay classified employees by paying such low wages that many employees would qualify for supplemental Federal welfare payments. Clever, eh? Who says that the Texas state government doesn't appreciate the Feds?

"Anyone remember government cheese?

Back in the pre-food stamp days, my grandparents got several kinds of welfare assistance food. As I remember it included flour, peanut butter, cheese, and maybe a few other staple items, like sugar and butter. But for sure cheese. I think they went somewhere to pick the booty up every week or so. Anyway, they didn't like the cheese so my grandmother always gave it to my mother. We ate it, but I don't remember much about it. I also seem to remember that when I was in high school, the school got government cheese and peanut butter for the cafeteria. Some kind of Department of Agriculture thing about distributing surplus food.
I got three pounds of extra-sharp sliced cheddar cheese at the Wal Mart today, marked down to half price. It made my whole week.

Wife's grandmother qualified for the cheese back in the 80's, I can't recall the program.
She was full on Italian born on Mulberry St. NYC around 1900. She put it to good use.

I like cheese so much, my Dad used to call me Ricky the Rat. Well there may have been other reasons, but it was mostly my fondness for cheese. There are about 11 varieties in the fridge now.
As to curds............
I got carried away posting my picture and forgot to reply about curds, sorry.
Way back before I got married, my future wife took me into Utah
to visit her brother and friends, for the once over.
Her brother lived in Koosharem off highway 62, just south of a
small town, Richfield, that is off of highway 70. Don't blink.
To make a long story short, there is a small cheese factory about
an hour south of their place, that they took the two of us too.
We were given a tour and at the end came back to the entrance
of the building where we could buy some cheese.
This is where I was introduced to my first little tiny curd.
At first bite it seemed soft and mild but it can grow on you.
My wife loves the stuff and it can now be found in Reno at A&W, fried.
When I bite into a curd, something weird happens......
where I gave this food the name....... "Squeeky cheese".

As we are both Brits, Miss Muffett and I are very familiar with curds and whey.
