Found this in the fancy cheese section, ever have it? It seems like a boomer product but I’m curious about putting it on burgers.

Boomers wouldn't touch it, neither would the English.

Marketing by Kraft.

You'll need it...

It would sit on the shelves until the yellow stickers arrived, even then I am not optimistic.

I did a check on it and it's NOTHING to do with England and I suspect >>22175064 is the same.

>>22175096
I guess it's not well known outside the US but Olde English is absolute bottom grade quasi-lager marketed mainly to street gangs and the homeless. The UK equivalent would be something like Tennent's Super (I think). Also looking it up it was apparently originally created by German immigrants in the '60s which makes me wonder if it was supposed to be some sort of targeted insult.

I have never come across this brand before and 'Malt Liquor' is not really a British thing.
Having said that in the early 1980s (Yes - I'm a coffin dodger) we did have an American import called Colt 45 that apparently was a Malt Liquor and reminded me of bananas for some reason.

We Brits have never been known for lagers, up until the late 1970s we mostly drank Ales, Bitters, stouts. etc.
Germans as far as I am aware, have always drank lagers, so I have no idea why they did this, perhaps post war they didn't want to market anything as German? IDK

it says "spread", not "cheese".
it's just more masked mayo slop from the mayonnaise cult, anon.
>>
>>22175179
No, it's cheese. It's like pimento cheese without the peppers in it.

This seems to be a relic from a time when Americans knew even less about the world than they know now. The period when we established what "French dressing", "Chinese food", and other cultural appropriations were.

I suspect that this product once had a distant connection to the sharp flavor found in British "mature cheddar" and similar, like Cheshire, Double Gloucester, etc. That was probably enough for people to notice it. If the spread here tastes like anything other than Velveeta I'll be slightly impressed.

It's actually the inverse, retard.
Your Grandma knew a helluva lot more than you, and possessed a skillset that you could never hope to master.

Seed Oils wrecked health and quality of cuisine for most of the West.

Malt liquor is not a thing at all in Germany. There's also nothing comparable. They probably targeted to alcoholics.

So mayo.

>Your Grandma knew a helluva lot more than you
Yeah. She knew how to make the best Lancashire Hotpot I've ever had. I miss her a lot. (We've got most of her standard recipes, but the hotpot one just doesn't replicate right. No idea what's missing.)

Your impressions about the past are laughably optimistic and your perception of the present is fantastically delusional.

That "Bunnies in Clover" recipe sounds hideous.

Apples, sausage, and processed cheese?

The UK equivalent is probably Frosty Jack's. They basically minmax volume, ABV, and tax classification to get the most alcohol per penny possible.
I actually feel a bit sick just seeing the bottle again.

Check the date if you buy this shit. The store where I used to wage had some on display forever none of it sold. Nobody even noticed it was six months expired.

>fancy cheese section
Well, that's clearly misplaced. Has Kraft ever made anything genuinely "fancy"?
