la maestra, is/was this kooky cheese from Spain though or did they "steal" the Manchego name. I'd think Manchego would be an internationally registered trademark/tradename, wouldn't it or is it just a kind of cheese? Saludos, MadridMan

MM, it is packaged just like the old Kraft American singles slices, but it says "Manchego" instead of "American." My son described the concept as being a little like Caviar Newtons...you know what that must be, but can't imagine eating it! I don't know if Manchego is one of those things that has to have proof of origin like wine or if it is just a type of cheese...though how slices can be similar to the real thing escapes me.

Good question, La Maestra. I ran into some Manchego cheese that was made in Mejico. But, to me it did not taste the same as Machego from Spain. The same with chorizos. The Palacion chorizos taste different than the ones made here by Quijote. Oh, well. Did you buy it?

Oso, I don't think this was packaged for Americans as the package is written entirely in Spanish. It appears to be packaged for Mexicans...who don't use Manchego that I know of!The curious side of me want to try it to see what they were aiming for in terms of flavor, but the rational part of me knows what texture I will encounter!
By the way, Bacalao Helper sounds like a winner to me!

Eeeeeeeeyuk! Maestra, you'd use Bacalao Helper? I'd rather try the processed manchego! Let's see, what's next on our processed food list? How about soy anchovy fillets and tofu olives? :p

No, no, Oso! You misunderstood me! I think your Bacalao Helper has potential...but not for me! Truth be known, I'm a bit of a "foodie"...my sons grew up thinking EVERYONE had jamon serrano and manchego sandwiches on French bread for lunch!
