Sorry, I'm not a Velveeta or American Cheese eater. We always had real cheese in our house growing up, although my mom started eating Easy Cheese when she hit her 80s. Probably because, well, it was easy for her. We had several local dairies near us, so we had access to good cheese.

I really started appreciating amazing cheeses when I started to travel. I remember the time that my dau and I went grocery shopping in Mexico. We came to the cheese section of the store, which was as big is the produce section in our US supermarket. There must have been 50 different kinds of cheeses for sale...maybe more. Some were floating in brine, others were sold by the cheese monger to order. Nothing was prepackaged. We were amazed! France and Italy also had huge selections of cheese. We're deprived, as far as cheese goes, here, in the US. Although, it is getting better.
