growing up when we couldn't afford pancake mix we would use flour and make ghetto pancakes...

we called them .."clabber cakes".and put jelly on 'em.

being so cold that there was ice on the windows and you couldn't see out of them

makes me appreciate where i'm at now...

I could only tolerate it when I cut the cheese myself.

sinisterpentatonic said:

Me too!


I remember goverment cheese from when I was little. I liked it at first, but when it's in everything you eat you get tired of it.

I think we got powdered milk too, but I really don't remember

Where does orange cheese come from - orange cows?

I haven't had the pre-sliced experience... when did that happen?

Oh God, I remember those big ass bricks of butter. The butter was slammin"!
But the cheese...

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Everyone I have ever talked to said they LOVED it!
I remember seeing it in those giant blocks.

applekisses said:

I still can not believe I am the only one who has said they do not like this cheese!
I hated it with a passion. They used to deliver it in the carboard boxes and you had a hell of a time cutting it too. The butter wasn't exactly easy to cut, but at least it tatsed like butter, but I suppose it's hard to mess up butter.

Government cheese RAWKED!!!!! We didn't get it in my house, but I remember some of my best friends from when I was really little always had it in their house and their moms made the BEST toasted cheese sandwivhes in the WORLD for us after school!!!!! The closest you can come to that is that big ass overpriced block of Velveeta (which makes killer sandwiches and mac&cheese too), but IT JUST IS NOT THE SAME. And Lord knows, as an adult, in retrospect, I shudder to think WHAT the heck those cheese blocks were REALLY made of, but it was so friggin good, WHO CARES???? Somethings are culinary icons in our culture that need not be tampered with; such as Now&Later candies, frozen chicken pot pies, and hell yes, government cheese!
