Cheesed off about Cheese

I know that I am odd man out, but I hate cheese! I don't mean I just don't like cheese, I hate it, my throat closes up, I start gagging and have literally vomited because of the stuff.
Yesterday the wife and I stopped at a casual dining chain restaurant. Every single entrée and sandwich without exception had cheese in it or on it. Every single item!

I resorted to the build your own burger column. I told the waitress how I wanted it Well done, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, and ketchup, on a toasted roll. I thought it was an extremely concise order, with nothing left to question. What happens then? This twit asks me what kind of cheese I wanted! If I had wanted freakin cheese I would have specified freakin cheese! Why is that so hard?
 

I love cheese but my husband hates it and so does a friend of ours. If my husband eats too much he gets sick. He hates how when he wants to order vegetarian in a restaurant everything usually has cheese.

Sounds like you are allergic. Are you lactose intolerant?
 

Can't imagine somebody NOT liking cheese. I love it.

Restaurants wouldn't stay in business without cheese.

Takes all kinds to make a world.

Maybe Annie is right re: Lactose Intolerant.
 
I love cheese, but it caused migraines when I was younger. Because of that, I no longer eat it although it is impossible to completely avoid it in prepared meals.
 
I count being a waitress one of the most difficult jobs there is.

Many times a waitress, or any food server, is simply carrying the orders of his or her boss when they ask customers questions.

That "twit" may very well have been following orders so she could keep her job.

Perhaps you will have more success getting the type of service and food you desire if you present your complaints to management .

(She said with a cheesy grin.)
 
Keith Richards won't eat it.

I love cheese.

Maybe if you presented your complaints to management (with a smile) that would work for you. Or try eating somewhere else.
 
Processed cheese slices are disgusting. So is that so called "Light" cheese. Neither are real cheese, just cheap imitations.

Give me block cheese and I will slice, dice or grate my own. Nothing as good as Havarti in the cheese world.

And Kraft Dinner....they call that cheese????
 
I really enjoy cheese, but in moderation of course. Last night I made a mac & cheese for dinner with a great extra sharp cheddar. Yummy.

Took this shot a few years ago in Scotland at a great cheese shop. These guys were so friendly and let me take their picture.

I was reading something the other day that kind of ties in. A gentleman was talking to a friend who was a Thai native. They were discussing durian fruit. It grows well in Asian countries but smells so bad there are laws against exporting it, even laws against eating it in certain areas. The friend was quite fond of it but said he couldn't stand cheese in any form.

Apparently dairy isn't a common ingredient in very tropical climates and he never really had any experience with it before moving to the US. One friend couldn't get durian past his lips and the other cheese. Guess it's partly what you grew up with and also from what I hear lactose intolerance is really horrible as well.
 
I don't like all cheeses, never would eat any cheese as a kid. Now I like American Cheese, Danish Creme Havarti, Gouda, etc. Never really insisted on cheeseburgers, just a good plain burger does the trick. Homemade nachos or bean burritos are really good with melted shredded mild or medium cheddar.
 
I adore feta and blue. Swiss and extra sharp cheddar I can eat right out of the package. Meat I could give up pretty easy but cheese never.
 
Just heard a news blurb a few days ago about there being a Surplus of Cheese in the US--so much that each person would have to increase their cheese consumption by 3 pounds per year! Bring it On! I love most cheese except limburger (my dad ate it) and pepper/hot cheeses. Favorite of all time is Colby--a good one. Lately only 1 out of the 3 stores I shop has Colby.

We ate out every day for 3 months in Thailand and except for the European restaurants never had cheese on any dish.
 
Cheese is one of the biggest reasons my son, his wife, and my granddaughter are obese.

Cheese on eggs. Cheese on veggies. Cheese in salad. Pizza. Casseroles with cheese. I doubt any of them go one day without cheese.

Not surprised to hear that (underlined) because dairy products contain casein which when digested turns into casomorphin. From a link: http://www.collective-evolution.com...ls-cheese-is-just-as-addictive-as-hard-drugs/How Is Cheese Addictive?

This may sound crazy, but dairy actually contains a chemical that is similar to morphine. Researchers identified a protein known as casein in 1981 that is present in all mammals, including humans and cows. When we eat dairy and it begins to digest, the casein actually releases opiates that are known as casomorphins. Casomorphins, similar to morphine, are a member of the opioid family, and the implications of this are pretty astonishing. You may literally be addicted to cheese.



So your family members, while not getting high from cheese, are dealing with very strong cravings that make it very difficult to give up.

I love cheese, but I eat it sparingly. I am extremely worried about the health of my son and granddaughter due to their weight. I will share the article on Facebook.
 
Back again! Nope I am not lactose intolerant. I love Ice Cream and Puddings. I even love Cottage Cheese to the tune of about a pound per week.
I just don't understand why I should have to "OPT OUT" of the cheese option. If a dish does not have cheese as a core component of the recipe,it should be an opt in thing.
For instance a Cheeseburger would be expected to have cheese on it.
an exercise in the absurd' Mickey D's had a deal where you could get two cheeseburger,a fry and a drink for $2.00. two hamburgers a fry and a drink totaled a bit more than $3.00

however if I ordered cheesburgers, no cheese I got the $2.00 price.

Yes I did tip the waitress,however it was 15% instead of my usual 18or20.
