I offered to make a grilled cheese sandwich for my girlfriend for lunch today. Her response was

"No you only have Velveeta"

Velveeta is the BEST for grilled cheese sandwiches, do I need to break up with my girlfriend over this

Well - I would just get something she likes - cheese should not be a deal breaker.
Thanks for this!

You are right Velveeta is the best for grill cheese in my opinion! Maybe she has just never experienced Velveeta! I would give her a break, just because she has messed up taste buds; Don't take it personal!
Thanks for this!

I, personally, wouldn't consider this a deal-breaker. Let me declare, however, for complete transparency, that I use cheddar to make my grilled cheese sandwiches. Maybe you can find out which cheese she likes and have some handy the next time she comes over. Doing this for her may help spice up the relationship. Oooh-la-la, two cheeses
Thanks for this!

There really are two kinds of people.

Those who think Velveeta is the best for grilled cheese. And those who know that Kraft is.

Earlier today, I wouldn't have cared what cheese I had, on hand. This was after the last of my sliced cheese went to my middle son's sandwiches.
Cannot see this, as a deal breaker, let's just hope she's not too fussy.
Thanks for this!

I buy that relatively expensive "real" Kraft American cheese, as opposed to cheese food imitations. I haven't had Velveeta in probably 20 years, but now I want a Velveeta grilled cheese! Gonna get me some and make me a grilled cheese, and I know it will be awesome!
Thanks for this!

The type of cheese referred to as American cheese is horrid! In any shapes or forms!

Cheese should be pale yellow and have holes in it!! So there!

Everybody knows that the worlds best grilled cheese sandwiches are made with crusty French bread, Pepper Jack cheese, crispy bacon and a few slices of fresh jalapeño.

I'm afraid your relationship is doomed ;-)

In my opinion it's not a good enough reason to break up with your girlfriend. I hope you're not looking for an excuse to break up. Treat your woman like the queen she is. If shes a keeper, she'll treat you like a king. It's a two way street after all. You may also want to put some things she likes on your shopping list so the next time you offer to make her something she has a few choices.
Thanks for this!

Hello, Mike_J. This thread has rapidly evolved into off-topic personal preferences that are unhelpful.

Do you think you and your friend can resolve this without mediation or court intervention?

I wish you well.
Thanks for this!

Muahaha. I've heard Canadians rib Americans for having a cheese named after us. Yet, won't rib back...

Swiss cheese melted between buttered toast? That sounds good, right now, too

I think she should break up with you because you've now made ME desperately hungry for a Velveeta grilled cheese.

I have never had Velveeta on a grilled cheese sandwich before (that I know of). On the other hand, I've had Kraft and that wasn't bad. But now we're on a whole foods diet and so any grilled cheese we would have would probably be white cheddar or mozzarella.

I wouldn't break up with someone over just that, though, unless it was smoked (I hate smoked cheese...) or peppery (can't stand peppers either) and the person giving it to me KNEW that I didn't like those.

That's my two cents.
Thanks for this!

Don't get Velveeta in SA. Never heard of it. I use regular cheddar or gouda, and frankly with the cost of cheese in SA (its a luxury), I buy the cheapest per KG that I can get.

Mike you're going to think I'm insane but I have to have EXTRA sharp cheddar and Swiss or Havarti or the grilled cheese is just no good. Haven't liked a Kraft or Velveeta grilled cheese since I was a kid. Hit a certain age then I got all fancy and snobby when it came to my cheese

I used to buy my cheese from a small factory in a small town.
It's being made by a small staff who take great pride in their work.
I used buy 10 lb blocks of real cheddar cheese and share it with my neighbours.

OMG it was awesome!

If someone had messed with my cheese I would have died from lack of pleasure!

Now I have to use local supermarket crapola cheese.

I sometimes consider divorcing my wife because she buys no-name cheese!
Thanks for this!
