Kraft Philadelphia is a high fat cream cheese that has been around forever. If you've never tried it, you'll know of it from the old extremely annoying adverts with those two dippy girls, and the current extremely annoying crop of ads with Caroline Quentin dressed up as an angel and making lascicious faces as the enjoys the supposedly semi-orgasmic experience that is eating Philadelphia.
But back to the 'cheese':
Philadelphia is sold just about everywhere and comes in a silver wrapper. It is thick, pure white in colour and extremely creamy in texture. It is popularly spread on crackers, crispbreads and digestives.
The texture in the mouth is very creamy and nicely cool. However, it has NO TASTE WHATSOEVER. It does not even taste of milk.
At least that's my opinion.
To you, however, Philadelphia might taste like the very manna of heaven. This is because all our taste buds are completely different - hence the fact that we all like different foods and don't all live on nought but porridge oats.
Because of this it is extremely difficult to write an opinion on a foodstuff. Just because I think something tastes gorgeous and make a recommendation, it does not mean at all that you will feel the same if you take my advice and go out and buy some. You might well loathe it so much that you vomit.
It's easy to write a consumer opinion on something like a television, as there are specific, objective criteria against which to compare it - e.g. does it work, how is the picture/sound quality, was it easy to set up etc. etc.
But one cannot do this with food. I will, however, try:
Kraft Philadephia claims to be a cheese. Extensive testing by myself (though without the aid of laboratory analysis) has proved it to be so.
So there.
As far as I am aware it has no medicinal properties to make this op more interesting.
I don't think it helped us win the war or has any other historical significance that would make this op more interesting.
I've never had a bad experience with it that would make this op more interesting.
Which just goes to show what a load of old tripe this new paid-for category is.
Now if I was to give you a recipe incorporating this cheese, that might indeed be of use to you, but I don't suppose that recipes would be paid.

I like Philadelphia, but I know what you mean about writing ops in this category, LOL!

It is a stupid category to include. Everybodys opinion is different on this subject. Its not quite the same as giving consumer information on a hi-fi is it??
They don't pay for the members advice sections anymore and in my opinion some of the best advice is given in these!!

Sorry but I don't entirely agree with you. You could say the same thing about health and beauty stuff, or medicine (what works for one may not work for another). You could include stuff like the variaties, packaging, price, availablity (where applicable) etc... Sorry to be a kill joy - I guess I am feeling in an arguementative mood! (did agree with you community points op though!)
