I think cheese strings are made of

[colditz]

mozzerella

the way Mozzerella behaves when melted then cooled is just like cheese strings. Imaginge, mozzerella, melted, stretched outreally thing, then all the bits compressed back together into sticks - a cheese string!

We got a packet of cheese strings once by mistake in our online shop (some poor Mum somewhere was cheese string-less). I didn't give them to the kids in case they liked them so I ate them all myself - blardy loved 'em (I like plastic cheese anyway and all that peeling...fab).

Apparently the devil himslef makes them in hell out of the poo from all the really really bad people ! So I heard !

The devil excretes yummy poo then, is all I can say.

my kids eversion therapy re chiz string sis workign

Are they really just cheese? I thought they were OK. DDs love them (& I have been known to steal them for myself).

Yes just cheese - mecahnically re-engineered cheese - but really just cheese !!!

ooh loev processe slabs

placcy cheese in fishfinger sandwiches is just the best [smiile]

ooh no yuk to fish fingers andchee

I am not a cheese snob at all. I just love cheese. It is taking all my will power not to go to the fridge for some right now but I am doing the no food after 6pm thing in the hope I lose some weight.
I could just eat cheese all day until 6- would that work or will I smell like an Atkin's dieter?

I love cheese strings, best food ever (slight exaggeration!)

Burgers, onions and a melted processed slice of cheese. Bloody lovely.

I told DS that cheese strings were like cheese that somebody else had chewed and then stuck back together again so I could avoid buying them. Nothing is quite like the pineapple flavoured cheese triangles of my childhood though.

My ds1 tried a cheese string and thought it tasted like rubber. He didn't even finish it.

my dd loves cheesestrings and so do I, starting to limit how many she can have tho coz i thought they were packed with salt, are they??

A mate told me that she put a cheese string through the dishwasher (it was stuck to a plate or something) and it came through a full wash cycle lookng and tasting exactly the same as when it went in!

Can't be right!

What - she tried it after it had been through the dishwasher?! Bleurgh!

compressed rubber bands!

not this old argument again - here's a quote from their website:

What are Cheestrings?
Cheestrings are 100% real cheese which can be peeled apart into dozens of strings.

What makes Cheestrings stringy?
The Cheestrings cheese is stretched when we make it but no other ingredients are added at all.

What else is in Cheestrings?
Just 100% Real Cheese in White Cheddar Variety and a little natural colour (Annatto) in the Original and Twister varieties. Annatto is a plant extract and is commonly used in coloured traditional cheeses like Red Leicester.
