Some like it sweet, some like it savory...
How about taking a traditional cotton-candy spinner and
creating a cheese solution that would react in a similar
manner as spun sugar. As the cheese gets thinner and
thinner, it stiffens into thin strands. Simply twist a long paper
cone through
the spun cheese and voila! cotton cheese.
Now, before you slam this idea, recall the science that has
brought us such a wide variety of cheese- and cheese-food
products: cheetos (puffy AND crunchy), cheese nips, cheez
whiz, cheese sauce, string cheese, etc. I may not have the
exact recipe, but you know that the cheese R&D teams of the
world could invent this in a jiffy.
And, as a bonus, while cotton candy only comes in different
colors, cotton cheese could come in different flavors:
American, Swiss, cheddar, Stilton, and gruyere...Imagine the
possibilities!

It could be served on a cracker cone rather than the
paper so that it is edible also. |

I think that PeterSealy is underestimating the power of
cheese science. |

Rods Tiger: American-style processed "cheese" is not a variety of Gouda, it is a variety of polystyrene. It is very popular as fish bait. And remember Milo Minderbinder in "Catch 22" trying to get Yossarian to try chocolate-dipped cotton? |

Actually butterjug2000's idea sounds pretty good to me, as long as it uses an edible cheese and not the American kind. |

[waugs]: 'It sounds very bad, however, which is likely why it doesn't yet exist.' Not really a constraint. My local supermarket has recently started selling baked beans, chips (UK), and omelette pieces in tomato sauce *in the same can*, in a twin-pack with beans, mushrooms, and egg nuggets (whatever the #### they are), also in tomato sauce. Also, need I mention Twinkies? |

Omelette pieces in Tomato Sauce?
When I managed a grocery store, the deli would make a lot of Ham and American Cheese sandwiches. Why? Because they'd taken close to expiration date American Cheese off the Cold Box Shelf, written a transfer from Grocery to Deli form (no retail loss for Grocery Dept., and wholesale cost factored over to Deli in terms of Inventory Control and Bonuses for each Department). Along with the fact that Ham was cheaper than other meats, yet sandwiches retailed for the same price. So there the sandwiches would sit in front of the customer... Until the Deli Clerk would clinch the sale by rattling off the names of other sandwiches in a dull monotone " Roast Beef with Monterey Jack, Turkey with Swiss or (Coworker would start humming Battle Hymn of Republic while clerk would patriotically proclaim) Ham with (Both clerks Salute) AMERICAN Cheese. Sold a lot of Ham and 'Cheese' Sandwiches.
That said, American Cheese is the worst American product - bar none. |

OK - so Michael Bolton is worse. |

But unlike Mr. Bolton, American cheese is still selling... |

American Cheese is a pox. It is the worst thing made in
this country.
Many good cheeses are made in the U.S. though,
including Jalapeno Pepper Monterey Jack (named after
my home town). |

American cheese is exceptionally handy if you need to plug a sucking chest wound. |

Now, as for the Cotton Cheese...we've got EZ Cheese, Cheese Whiz, and cans of Nacho Cheese. Seems like the perfect addition to a line of stoner-friendly junk food. Definitely a plus. |

to get technical: american is *supposedly* processed form of a very very mild cheddar. |

i find it's good for giving dogs pills in...so soft it's almost like play-doh if you hold it in your hands for a minute... |

Brilliant idea, I'd love to try it if it really works. Actually, cotton bread might work too with the same principle, with bread made nice and soft like cotton candy. |
|
| |
Not fat-free like cotton candy, but a yummy idea regardless. |
|

mmmmmmmmmmmmm.........I think this sounds good! |
