Velveeta cheese?

I am just wondering if this is sold in the stores here or if not what is something I can use instead?

lol never mind.. i was searching through posts and finally found one about this topic lol sorry folks

How about... Actual cheese? Like... Cheddar?

Not sure if this is in the other post, but you can get Kraft Processed Cheddar around London and on Amazon. It's similar, but doesn't melt as easily - I cut it into cubes and it works fine. I get mine on Edgware Road, up across from Paddington Green Police Station.

haha I can NEVER show my fiance this thread as he already makes fun of me because he thinks that everybody in the US uses fake orange rubbery cheese hahah I keep assuring him we don't. If he saw this he'd have a field day pushing my buttons

Haha. Whenever I'm having a whine about something I don't like about the UK, DH always comes back with "whatever, you guys squirt out cheese from a can!" I have never used spray-can cheese nor have I ever been a fan of Velveeta, but I am guilty of liking White American Cheese (specifically Land O Lakes). I don't care if it's processed, that s!@$ is good and the only cheese that should be on a grilled cheese or used in a baked macaroni and cheese. 

I found a recipe online the other day for American cheese.. It looks and sounds like Velveeta consistency.  Might be worth trying.   http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2013/01/22/diy-american-cheese/

HAHAHAHAHAHHA OMG! SAME! He's CONSTANTLY on about "why do you have fake cheese?! who squirts cheese out of a can?!" I'm like OH MY GOD! I DON'T EVEN LIKE CHEESE THAT MUCH, MUCH LESS SPRAY CHEESE! hahaha He loves getting me worked up over it. I'm not sure who educated him on american cheeses.

OK, I know velveeta cheese is not "cheese" but damn it tastes good when you're craving it. We would eat it once a year on New Years Eve with a can of chili and some rotel tomatoes. My kids LOVED it. I figured once a year wouldn't hurt.
And I do miss Land O Lakes American cheese...nothing like it for a grilled cheese sandwich with a nice bowl of tomato soup!

Velvetta is awesome!   

It's great in certain recipes.  I did find Kraft Singles at our local Budgens.  I buy it just to make my grilled cheese!! 

Last time I had Velveeta (it's been a few years now), all I could think was - wow, this tastes like nothing (good)! And I used to love the stuff - grew up eating it. After years of eating great cheese here, I just can't stomach it any longer. Worse is Velveeta Light, which actually has (shows on the ingredients list) dried corn syrup in it. Corn syrup. In cheese! 

Been thinking about trying to make queso with the homemade cheese sauce I make for mac & cheese, just adding tinned chilies (I ordered off t'internet) & tomatoes. Used to think making cheese sauce was an ordeal, but once you've done it a few times, seems easy!

I do this all the time A cheat's way is to buy fry some chorizo/chillies/garlic/shallot, add a cheesy ready made pasta sauce then melt in cheeses like red leicester, instant queso.

You can, if you want, make a velveeta like melty cheese from decent cheese by adding a bit of sodium citrate - http://www.chow.com/recipes/30493-perfectly-melting-cheese

I don't understand the Velveeta love. I know some people ... OK, a lot of people ... say it makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches, but I disagree. I think maybe it makes the grilled cheese sandwiches that people remember from their childhood, so nostalgia kicks in they remember it fondly. I'm the same about Ribena - it makes me happy but I know it's not actually good! To me, a Velveeta grilled cheese sandwich is like two pieces of bread stuck together with flavourless neon glue. Vile.

Hear, hear!  I make grilled cheese with double gloucester.  Melts like a dream and tastes of actual cheese. 
(though I must admit I like Ribena and didn't grow up with it  )
