String Cheese
« on: May 22, 2002, 07:16:50 PM »
Can you get it at Tesco's or Watirose? Or anywhere for that matter? I forgot to look last time I was there, and it's a diet staple for me. I play with my food, and it's one of the few things I can play with and eat, and NOT get dirty looks for it.

Please please? Can I have my string cheese?

Thanks  :-/

Have you looked for it though? Maybe you just glanced over it? GOD PLEASE!!!! :D Sorry for making you crave it, but hopefully the String Cheese Fairy is around and will give us good news.

Good news and bad.  I did find a substance called "cheesy string," which (according to my husband) only little kids eat.  The problem, and perhaps this isn't unsurmountable, is that it only comes in yellow cheddar and white and yellow chedder swirled. :-/  I couldn't be doing with that when I was really craving what we get at home (which, by the way, what kind of cheese is it?  Motozerella (sp?)) so I didn't pick any up.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......
maybe the white cheddar will be mozzarella-like?
Godh, I don't know. Thanks for your investigation. I wonder how it pulls apart too?

Well, my kids love it and make us buy it nearly every week. It must be crap, which is probably just what you're after  ;D

if you see anything labelled "string cheese" in England, my advice is...
:o RUN!!!!!!!!! :o

the version they have here is absolutely disgusting.  i'm not sure it's even real cheese... more like processed cheese-flavoured plastic.  i am going to have to import some from my family back in Wisconsin.

(yes, i am a cheesehead :-[...)   [my British hubbie tried some while in WI... at first he was scared, but then was introduced to the salty, stringie goodness of WI string cheese.  mmm...   it is so popular in WI, that you can even find it in most gas stations/quickie marts, which is nice when you get a latenite craving...

i always buy a brick to eat on the plane when i fly back to England...  lol

...and speaking of cheese...
has anyone found any good cheese curds in England?  not the battered kind;  just the hunk of curds in a bag.   my favourite ones are the garlic and chive!   yummie...

:(  i miss WI...   *sigh*

I MISS CHEESE CURDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every time I've ever gone into WI, and everytime a friend goes there (my parents own a bar in IN, and their main clientele is (are?) cheeseheads who have transferred with their jobs to the area)... we get loads of proper cheese curds. There's NOTHING like them, and nope, I've never seen anything like it in England. Lots of good cheese here, but not the kind I was ever used to.
