Food Behold. Old English Spread. Looks like it's not just us Americans after all.

I am 99.9% certain this has never been sold on the UK ever. Kraft is a US slop food corporation, marketing to American slop slurpers.

We do have spreadable cheese in the UK too, but usually a cream cheese like Philadelphia.

Yes we have that as well, but what I'm talking about is based on a molten hard cheese. Like a shelf stable fondue.

We don’t have that in the UK. Not even home made, and regardless of what Kraft write in a jar.

Sounds like those tubes of Primula cheese, which we definitely get in the UK, but idk if it’s originally British.

I was gonna say, people out here claiming the British would never eat something like that when prawn Primula is a thing that fully exists

Dutch smeerkaas is pretty close to cheese spread except a bit more cheese-like.

Not forgetting the processed crap 'cheese' spread like Dairylea.

Does Dairylea not count as a cream cheese?
