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

      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)
