the “cheese” is freeze dried tofu, cashew butter, corn starch, nutritional yeast, soy milk, and vinegar
i live in nyc so i’m expecting the nypd to break down my door and arrest me for committing a hate crime against the entire Italian diaspora any minute now
We once accidentally bought a bag of preshredded mozzarella alternative. Missed the part where it wasn’t real cheese. When we made lasagna, it crisped instead of melted. Kind of like some French fried onions on top I guess. It was delicious, but it wasn’t lasagna
most fake cheese is made of mainly starch so that tracks
i wish i could find the exact product again. those little shreds toasted up like coconuts shreds. the texture was delightful. i’d mix it with animal cheese this time tho
was it Aldi brand by chance? they did not do a good job of making their nondairy cheese visually distinct from the real cheese
Daiya “parmesan” would likely do what you’re looking for. it’s really thinly shredded and tends to crisp when i use it on pizza
it could have been? it was like 20 years ago, sam’s club/walmart cheese. i don’t know if they were also aldi back then.
also, thanks for responding to my inane comments. i wouldn’t have remembered my zucchini/pasta ala vodka idea without you.
def wasn’t Aldi then as they’ve never been affiliated with Walmart/Sam’s. 20 years ago I’m impressed you managed to find a fake cheese at all let alone by accident lol
(also your comments are no more inane than my pizza was criminal)
