Cheese comparisons

I love muenster cheese. I get the deli-sliced pack from Target, it's $2.50 for 8 oz in 12 slices. While I get it primarily for cheeseburgers, I will often get an extra pack because it's one of the few cheeses that are tasty to eat by itself.

It's a nice, smooth cheese, very mild, with a slight nutty flavor and just a hint of sharpness like in cheddar.

I decided to also buy some sliced mozzarella, and I discovered it doesn't work very well for putting on burgers, while it's a nice cheese, it doesn't really melt properly if it runs over the edge. It just tends to burn into slag.

I then realized that I recognized mozzarella as string cheese.

How many slices (be it Muenster or whatever) do you prefer atop your c-burgers, Paul?

Usually one per patty. I usually make double cheeseburgers, so, obviously, that's two per burger. I'll make two burgers. If I haven't eaten a lot that will hit the spot. When I make cheeseburgers for lunch I usually have a single one, double cheeseburger.

Funny you mentioned Jimmy Buffett, I remember of the song "Cheeseburger in Paradise" although most of the words escaped me.

I wanted to mention one other thing. One guy was talking about what are good cheeses, and I said "I'm monster about muenster. And, of course, there is the premiere development in genetic engineering, Velveeta."

He didn't get it.

Wish granted, I'm editing the video right now.

One note, I did the video at 640x480 so that I can edit it; Windows Movie Maker has problems with HD video. Well, my new camera - bought with my new Amazon.com store credit card - creates about an 18-minute video of what I'm doing, presumably uncompressed because it is a whopping 550 megabytes!

I can't fahking stand Jimmy Buttfeh, but I've never had muenster on a cheeseburger. Only on a cold deli meat sandwich. Now I have to try this.
