Velveeta is good enough to cook with — it melts well — but it’s not tasty enough to slice and eat in sandwiches or by itself. They sell it cheap in those 1 or 2-lb packages. It takes ages to use up and stays OK in its foil wrapper. “Real” cheeses are expensive, you tend to eat them up in grilled cheese sandwiches which will leave you hungry again in one hour, and they get moldy no matter how you wrap them. Hard times call for Velveeta. The slogan on the box says it all: “It’ll get eaten.”
