Processed and Melted
Another Weekend Assignment Rewind (Because I am tired and cranky and don’t have anything nice to say.)
Weekend Assignment #311: What is your favorite kind of cheese and why? Do you have it often, or just occasionally?
Extra Credit: Is there a kind of cheese you hate?
I actually thought that I was a serious fan of cheese. Then I discovered Whole Foods. I tried different types of cheese and hated plenty. Then, because I wasn’t done with the game, I started trying every variety of Cheddar – Irish, Australian, you get the idea. It turns out that I like Vermont Cheddar and Hoffman’s Super Sharp Cheddar the best. And I think you can get both at Costco.
I find this utterly ridiculous because I love cheese. Love it. I have rejected Five Guys because it does not have cheese sauce for their fresh cut french fries. Seriously? I don’t care how good your burgers are, Five Guys – I am going to Meatheads. And having a grilled cheese sandwich.
Wait. I just did that for lunch.
This is where my mother says, “I keep telling you. You just do not have gourmet tastes.” In my defense, I have outgrown Velveeta. I think. I haven’t had it in a really long time, anyway. The cheese I have most often is parmesan. On my pasta. At Noodles & Company.
I actively dislike stinky cheeses. I enjoy blue cheese on a cobb salad, but that is about it.
Have I answered the question? What is my favorite cheese? The kind that comes from Wisconsin. Pasteurized.
The Next Dark Age 
Not sure if cheese sauce on fries is regional since I don't know if I have had that. I think I've had fries with melted cheese before.Five Guys is pretty good, finally made it there last week, but I still think In-and-Out is less gimmicky and also cheaper. Though I do like getting jalapeno slices on my burger, and the grilled onions and mushrooms were tasty.
In-and-Out hasn't made it this far East yet, but my West Coast family swears by it. If you have never had cheese sauce on your french fries, I recommend that you never. ever. try it.Spare yourself the future temptation.
The oddball topping on fries here is ranch dressing. Eegee's does this and it's great!I can't say I care for any of the moldy, runny or stinky cheeses either. I can just about handle a modest quantify of Feta. Cheddar, havarti and the italian pasta cheeses are tops.
