Accidental American Cheese!!!

After last night's hilarious Channel 4 comedy show in aid of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital I feel compelled to tell you the tale of how I managed to make a cheese sauce just like Kraft Velveeta - and I still can't work out how!!

Basically I made my usual cheese sauce, but on this occasion used a combination of sharp cheddar, red leicester and a small quantity of jarlsberg. Somehow the stuff came out like liquid plastic - the same shade as melted Velveeta and actually tasted a bit like it too. NOW I'm not suggesting you try this at home - it's more of a recommendation that you don't!!

I slopped ("pour" just isn't the right word) it over cauliflower and it browned OK, but with a definite skin on it. Very odd! Didn't taste TOO bad either, but the whole experience was just a bit too retro diner for my liking!! Wish I'd taken a photo!!

  1. But Alix -- Velveeta IS plastic -- if cheese was involved in your preparation, you've gone awry!
