My family was POOR when I was a kid. I'm very familiar with that stuff. I don't know if it's still around, though. I also remember the cans of beef, pork and chicken.

Stuff was pretty good actually. They used to pass it out at the senior citizens center a nice old lady friend of my mom's made me a hamburger with it on top. was damn good and she sent some home with me. Was even better on venison burgers. Paired very well.

You can buy it in the grocery store, but it's labeled as Kraft brand American cheese. Our local Kroger carries it and it's very close to the government cheese taste/texture. I use it to make hash brown casserole quite frequently.

My grandparents used to get it back in the early 80s. They had an air conditioner but never ran it. She used to slice it up and let it set out in that hot kitchen until it got to room temp. Room temp gubment cheese + saltines = food of the gods!

Quoted: I remember days where the government bought excess cheese and gave it away to the poor. It came in big square "logs" IIRC. Does anyone know if it still exists? I (my family as a child, 25 years ago) got a block of government cheese for Christmas one year from my great aunt. She was dirt poor and that was all she had, like most of my family she didn't have much but shared what she had. She died two weeks ago on her 80th birthday, may God rest her soul. |

I see theres a bunch of fellow welfare rats up in this mother! I loved that cheese but the pork in a can, let me just say, I would fight a honey badger for some of that right now!
Later I learned that you could make a candle that would burn for a week out of a block of that cheese. And the aroma was to die for.

When I lived in military housing in the early 1990's there was still cheese and bread handouts. You had to sign for the cheese but the bread was free - limit three loafs please. The local Wonder Bread factory donated the stuff to the lady in the building across the street from me. She'd lay out blankets and sort the wheat from the white and the occasional dinner rolls and specialty breads.

Back in the 80s, my brother worked maintenance at an apartment complex. And there was a pastor from a nearby congregation who used to drop tons of the stuff of to distribute amongst the workers. Apparently everyone in his parish was either sick of eating it or had gained so much weight that they had to abstain. If i recall correctly the cheese came in three kinds; velvet, cheddar and american. The dimensions were equivalent to a slice of american cheese by about a foot long. The american cheese came pre-sliced and the quality of the cheddar was equivalent to cracker barrel.
Made a killer batch of potatoes au-gratin for Thanksgiving that year. |

I used to buy that cheese from the ghetto goblins back in the 80s...
Cheese, potato flakes, powdered milk. It was all good. And cheap. The distribution point was right down the street from our shop. 5 minutes off the truck and Ajax was selling it ... |
