Sliced cheeses

artyclarty

Have you tried the Aldi and Lidl? I'm pretty certain they do prepacked sliced cheese (cheddar, edam, gouda etc) and my local small tesco does sliced cheese too.* They are maybe a few mm thick and I use them for my OH's sandwiches/cheese on toast.

*and no, I am not talking about those horrible "cheese" slices that you put on burgers either

ETA - like this?

Or maybe I'm just barking up the wrong tree

I don't like bought grated cheese, as it has an odd texture (eaten uncooked) because of the potato starch used to prevent clumping.


I've treated myself to an electric grater/mincer so cheese can be bought in a cheap block, grated and stored bagged for fridge or freezer and I know how much fat goes into the mince.


Expensive ? Not really, as I saved up Amazon vouchers earned from surveys, then bought a 'used' machine, which was actually unused but the packaging was damaged.

I just use the potato peeler.

Never thought of that. I'll try that.
