Hi Dale,

There's also the "cheese spreads" from places like The Swiss Colony. My
parents often got a box of assorted spreads from one of Mom's sisters
for Christmas. That meant that one Sunday night's supper in January
would usually be "cheese" and crackers. The spreads were in small,
triangular packages; in order that all 7 of us could have a taste of
each spread, we had to spread the stuff rather thinly on the cracker.
Crackers were usually white saltine type so we got a lot of carbs and
sodium in that meal, with just a light hint of flavored cheese.
