Or that "processed American cheese food product" stuff they wrap in individual slices.

4. I love my cheese slices - they keep forever - brick cheese goes moldy within a week

.

I love brick cheese, but once you open it - it's hard to preserve for more than a week

The slices?

well like you say - they are not the best cheese available, but they are so full of preservatives that they rarely o bad - even in warm temperatures

so

sad to say

those processed cheese slices are my choice

I can stretch out a pack of sliced cheese for over a month

brick - I have to eat it all quickly before it turns green

but I wonder - does fact it turns green make it unsafe to eat?

9. Be careful not to touch the block of cheese with your hands.

You'll put the stuff on the cheese that causes it to go moldy.
Always use a clean knife and wrap the cheese up well when you are done with it.

And a small amount of mold won't do any harm. Just cut it off and enjoy the cheese.
I'm a mouse. I know my cheese! :hi:

12. You can't buy Velveeta in the UK.

We looked for it. Not on sale ANYWHERE. (I know i didn't try Harrods but didn't have time or money to go there).

Hence when we did Mexican night when we went over there the cheese nachos had to be left off the menu.

Mark.
