Short-haired girl: MmmmMMM! Look at all this golden goodness!
Long-haired girl: You realize it's just food coloring.
Frazz: What was lunch today?
Boy: A glit-cheese sandwich, apparently.
I wonder if that fancy-schmancy restaurant in NYC, the one that sold the $35K Thanksgiving dinner that included real gold flakes in the stuffing, also sells a gilded cheese sandwich…
It used to be found in nature, when dairy cows got more vitamin A/beta carotene and all of the cream was used in the cheese. They started coloring it when dairy operations turned to corn feed and they diverted more cream for butter and standalone sale.
Yellow/orange cheeses are absolutely colored. Depending upon what the cows are eating. Cows who eat a lot of grass have greenish milk, which leads to a very unappealing greenish cheese. They dye it to get rid of the green. We’ve never been orange cheese eaters in my family (other than Cheetos, because… yum) but there are lots of people who insist upon the yellow cheese when given a choice.
