Re: cheddar spread

I used to have dealings with the dairy/cheese business. All the off-cuts from cheese packing plants would end up being mashed up in a big tank, melted down and re-processed along with vegetable oil and lots of salt to make Cheddarie Spread. That goes for Dairylea and any other mass-produced cheese spreads. Can't beat a good piece of strong English Cheddar made on the farm!

Primula is still around, if you've not been put off.

Re: cheddar spread

Cheddarie was horrible but I love a bit of Primula! The baggage collection things at Newcastle airport have huge Primula adverts all over them and nothing else. Made me chuckle when I saw them yesterday. Welcome to Newcastle, fancy some nasty processed cheese?

Re: cheddar spread

Re: cheddar spread

If you knew how they made most food you'd never eat it again. I was (un)lucky enough to go inside Cadbury's to see how their chocolate was manufactured. It was a real eye opener.

I went to a place that made margarine too, I've never eaten it since unless I've had no other option. Absolutely foul stuff. It's just chemicals and colourings man, if people really knew what they were eating they'd go spare.

I love cheese. Not really bothered if it is processed or not, although some of the brands of spreadable leave a lot to be desired.

Re: cheddar spread

I worked in the cheese making business for 17 years and as Powdered Toast Man a lot of these cheese spreads are made from salvaged cheese off-cuts and even floor sweepings, we used to chuck everything in huge bins and then sell it on to the processing plants. Next time you are tucking into a packet of Mini-Cheddars, just stop and think where the flavouring comes from!

I don't eat butter for exactly the same reasons that Sly mentions above plus I also had the pleasure of making the stuff as well.

Funnily enough, my husband works at Cadbury's and won't eat the creme eggs.
