It’s not easy being fake cheesy

I remember when I was a wee beastling, my mom, curiosity piqued by ubiquitous advertisements, bought a box of Velveeta cheese. Her reaction: “What do I do with this stuff?” And disappointment. My initial reaction to WayFare’s We Can’t Say It’s Cheese cheddar spread was kind of similar. However, the silver linings in the 8-ounce tub include a super smooth consistency that’s very easy to spread, and it’s creatively made from oatmeal. Besides being vegan, it’s soy and gluten free. But it left my taste buds in the shape of a question mark, so I asked a friend to try it for a second opinion; he said it reminded him of Velveeta.
