Not to me. I love Swiss cheese. Swiss cheese tastes GOOOOD. I’ll take Swiss cheese over Cheese Whiz 100 times out of 100.

That would be “Cheese Jizz”. 😃

I don’t think I’ve ever had Cheese Whiz, and I don’t think I want to try it!

Just to be clear, are you guys talking about “American Swiss Cheese” or actual cheese from Switzerland like emmental and gruyere?

I don’t know. The kind with the holes in it. That shit is GOOOOD. I’m not talking about those lame-ass processed slices, if that’s what you mean.

Yes, that’s what I meant, too. I don’t like anything better on sandwiches. Most of the European style cheeses are great for eating on crackers, or just by themselves, but not so much on a sandwich. Brie sometimes, on heated sandwiches, but Swiss is best in my book.

It’s not really a “cheesesteak” anymore, I suppose, but you know what I mean.

Now that we cleared out the OP’s question, can we address this one: Kerry is walking down the street and sees a prostitute. She asks him if he wants a date and he stops and talks with her about options in her life and how she can go back to school and make something of her self. Bush sees this and gives her the $100 he took from the previous guy and asks for a blow job. This is a serious questions, I heard about this on the internet.

Really? Because I was thinking about devouring a baby.

We have a name for those: Steak sandwhich. They are surprisingly common. 😃

In a pinch I made myself a cheesesteak with swiss once. It wasn’t bad but the flavor kind of interfered. That being said I would eat that over Cheese Wiz any day and I loathe my fellow Philadelphians who insist Cheese Wiz is the standard. It is not.

Whiz is the _original_, but American is most common nowadays (and my preference), followed by provolone. I’ve also seen mozzarella and jack, less commonly.

This conversation is getting very…No. No, I won’t do it, I mustn’t. A scrap of decency yet remains. Another year here will fix that.

So it’d be like walking into [Primanti’s](http://www.primantibrothers.com/) and asking for the fries on the side?

(Oh, and it’s pronounced “PrimANees”. NOT “PrimANHTees”)
