      I like Potatoes iPhone? What’s an iPhone. No mobile phones. Computers were the size of your living room. The milkman still delivered whole milk, cream and maybe butter to your front door every day. The mailman walked his whole route carrying mail in a big leather bag. Girls were required to wear dresses to school and the female teachers too. Male teachers, what few there were, wore sports coats and ties. Homework?!! Are you nuts? Not until 7th grade. Kids were expected to go home, change out of school clothes into play clothes and go outside to play. TV was for parents to watch the news, Dad to watch sports, Saturday cartoons. Everybody on tv smoked. Trash was burned in the backyard in a steel drum. The ash man came when the barrel was full and emptied it. Life was very different then than now. Slower paced. More secure and more predictable. More peaceful. WWll was over. Vietnam Nam had not yet begun. It was a decent time for me growing up, but definitely a different world then.

    Lemme tell ya, as maligned as Velveeta is, it's a miracle food product. I wouldn't use it as like, cheese, but in a cheese sauce, dip, or soup, it stabilizes the real cheese and keeps it from going grainy. It adds that smooth, velveteen mouthfeel, and I am never ashamed to use it in the privacy of my own kitchen.

    • @tomadkins2866
      @tomadkins2866 5 років тому +2

      You're absolutely correct. I'm sure most commercial soups like Broccoli and Cheese, etc, and most cheese based dips and sauces are made from a Velveeta like product. Nachos and cheese are literally chips and melted Velveeta.
      By itself it's not very useful, but it is a great ingredient for other things.
      My partner is of an ethnic background that often prides itself on it's macaroni and cheese; making a roux, adding the dairy and various cheeses, etc. for the sauce. She's very discerning about that particular side dish.
      I grew up on Velveeta mac and cheese. A sauce of sauteed onions, milk, a bit of pepper and Velveeta mixed through pasta. (Breadcrumbs on top and baked a bit, to fancy it up sometimes). There were seldom leftovers. :)
      I recently made that for her and her eyes lit up at the first bite. She literally squealed with delight after adding a bit of hot sauce.
      I haven't, yet, had the heart to tell her that it's basically Velveeta over macaroni. LOL.

    @silverlightx6 5 років тому +18

    One minor point of contention: Fudge is supposed to be smooth and creamy, not crumbly and crystalline. If it's crumbly and crystalline the maker didn't heat/cool the fudge well to control sugar crystallization. Good stove-top fudge needs to be beaten til you feel like your arm is going to fall off, and then a bit longer.
    Now I get this isn't good stove-top fudge.. and it might be perfectly adequate as a last minute novelty.. but I do believe I'll stick with my tried and true recipe :)

      The velveeta fudge I've had has always been really smooth and creamy. Either her recipe was off or because she didnt heat it properly the texture and look was way way off from most velveeta fudge.
