If you look closely at the label it says
"Pasteurized Process cheese food".
This legally gets them out of any claim to be REAL CHEESE ! ! ! !!
Get some REAL CHEESE man !!! Live a little!!!!!

Marmite is not Vegemite!
Aussies please chime in here - there is a world of difference. Both are thick
brown pastes, made from yeast and quite salty. But only Vegemite is the
true, good stuff. Check it out: http://www.vegemite.com.au/
Vegemite smells terrible and is good for everything!
Some uses for Vegemite (but only some) include:
cleaning your hands or the floor (or just about anything, come to think of it),
greasing axles, as a sun screen, insect repellant, contraceptive, sheep
dip, mortar, wood glue, paint (use water to thin it a bit), circuit board etching
material.
You can even eat the stuff if you're crazy or Australian born (but naturalized
Australians and all foreigners have difficulty acquiring the taste). Use it as a
condiment (in place of jam, honey, any kind of jelly, maple
syrup, ketchup, apple butter, or what have you). There are
thousands of uses in the kitchen in stews, roasts, sauces and
marinades. Not recommended for topping ice cream (though
it does provide an interesting variation).
Vegemite comes is jars of various sizes which have expiration dates, but
only because they have to print SOMETHING there - I have known even
true dyed-in-the-wool Aussie Vegemite lovers who cannot tell when the
Vegemite is 5 years past it's supposed expiry. As such, you can use
it to tar your roof or seal a tomb.
Vegemite, manufactured (no other word for it!) by Kraft is the perfect
compliment to Kraft "cheese" for sandwiches.

Yumm! In my mind there are two great types of GCS - the kind mom made, and the 'white trash grilled cheese'. The WTGC is made with nothing less (err, more?) than Wonder Bread, kraft singles, and butter. These are to be accompanied by french fries and Ranch for dipping. Tip - use a big pan and cook both sides open faced and cut your cooking time in half! The 'Mom' kind is made on brown bread (not whole wheat, just plain 'brown') with Kraft Singles, but you serve it with - and dip it in - apple sauce. Mom also used to make 'open faced grilled cheese sandwiches' which wren't actually grilled (they were broiled) and didn't actually have cheese (she used velveeta). Yummm!
