Hmmmm...when I was a kid I remember them handing out gubmnt cheese. Seeing that pic of that big old hunk ‘o cheese...I wonder what it tastes like? Cheddar, longhorn...Velveeta? I love cheese, even cheap mild cheddar...but something tells me this is more like “cheese product” like Velveeta. Blech...I only tried that a few times, and it tasted like it was made with nylon or polyester. Anyone know first hand?

Nope - it was real cheddar.

Back in the day I knew some folks at college who were receiving government commodities which included a brick of cheese. When they got their monthly allotment they would throw a big food party.

Acrtually, my memory of having it was that it was surprisingly good. It comes from the Ag Dept. buying up milk, so it’s actually cheese, not oil. Looks like cheap crap, but not bad. I also remember getting someone’s canned pork that they didn’t want a couple of times. Looked like dog meat coming out of the can, but was actually some damn good-tasting pork, if you used it right.
