    Try cheese on toast?
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

    I won't let my ds have them any more. They don't actually taste of anything.....

    I have this theory that cheesestrings aren't actually food, so why bother?

    Or you could give them to the Halloween guisers tomorror night?

    I don't think they ARE real cheese. But if you aren't a cheesophile and can tolerate processed cheese, perhaps you could chop them into little cubes and add them to a salad: perhaps cheese cubes, celery, apple, walnuts and a bit of mayonnaise?

  • They are real cheese, they have this stringyness because they are made in a similar way to mozerella. That doesn't mean that they taste of anything though... I would use them in something you'd normally use cheese in, but mix with some tasty cheese.

    It's only a game

    You could try making pizza and putting them round the edge then folding it over to make sort of a stuffed crust?
