Normally you peel parts of the cheese off the stick like strings. Once the strands you see being pulled from the stick are pulled off all the way, each one would be a single cheese string.

I once had a heathen coworker who would bite into the whole thing like Bugs Bunny.

It being bendy you can eat it in one bite like a true mongoloid

This is also how I eat string cheese, like I know food is all about experience but ain't nobody got time for that.

That's what you get when you stroke your cheese stick for too long..

Huh, string cheese is really a thing, who knew?

[–] CoggyMcFee 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Every single person who grew up in the US in the 80s, for starters.

Well, not in most of europe, and only as some local traditional recipes.

There was a time when it was the coolest snack to have at school in the US. Very popular. And it is still certainly a thing for kids nowadays.

String cheese isn’t real cheese 🧐

[–] [email protected] 55 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What place doesn’t use real mozzarella in their string cheese?

You can try that argument with kraft singles or Velveeta, but not with string cheese.

Also, kraft singles and Velveeta are actually kinda real cheese, iirc the reason why they aren't allowed to be sold as such because they contain a significant amount of added fats, oils, and other things to make them softer and more gooey. However, they still contain a significant amount of cheese.

Yeah American cheese is typically real cheese, extra milk, and an emulsifier to keep the milk and cheese cohesive. Cheaper stuff can play it a bit more fast and loose but even singles the first ingredient is cheddar

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

They're basically solidified cheese bechamel.

I would also like to add that anyone who dismisses all American cheese outright due to trash like Kraft Singles and Velveeta are missing out on some of the best sandwich cheese you can get.

Cooper Sharp? Come on.
