It's not real cheese unless its from Europe, we get it

I didn't say that. I said it wasn't Cheddar cheese (which it isn't).

Call it "Popeye's Poorly Imitated Cheddar Cheese with Orange Dye".

 

[Speevy]

They tried the name Massive Destruction of Natural Habitat to Intensively Farm Poor Quality with Slave Labour Biscuit Shrimps but no one could remember it at the window.

 

[Ashhong]

But, I mean, it's the truth.

You could choose to eat something less horrible both environmentally and quality wise.

Treat yourself.

What smartphone do you use? What clothes do you wear?

Give me a break.

 

[Apt101]

I bet smushing these into a tub of their mashed potatoes with spicy gravy and eating them like that would be in the top 10 of late night stoned meals of all time.

 

[Phu]

Do you just have limited exposure to cheddar or what?

 

[JCHandsom]

I'd eat it.

 

[moggio]

Do you just have limited exposure to cheddar or what?

On the contrary. I'm widely exposed to cheese that calls itself Cheddar cheese (but isn't).

What smartphone do you use? What clothes do you wear?

Mostly from charity shops although I crocheted the jumper I'm wearing at the moment myself.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Why do you think it's so cheap?

The answer is: massive destruction of natural habitat to intensively farm poor quality shrimps with slave labour.

The end product looks almost as grim.

And it was all for a good cause.

 

[Yukinari]

I love how people think this looks bad.

Its literally cheddar flavor shrimp. Popeyes has a good menu that doesnt go out of control like Burger King or Taco Bell.

I really like their seasonal meals like this.

 

[Phu]

On the contrary. I'm widely exposed to cheese that calls itself Cheddar cheese (but isn't).

So your exposure is limited.

 

[giga]

I didn't say that. I said it wasn't Cheddar cheese (which it isn't).

Call it "Popeye's Poorly Imitated Cheddar Cheese with Orange Dye".

Look, you've already admitted you've never had real cheddar cheese before and only imitations. You stick with your processed "cheddar" cheeses and we'll keep eating the real thing.

 

[moggio]

So your exposure is limited.

I live in Cheddar.

See above.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate when popeyes does fish for their monthly specials. Chicken only please.

 

[giga]

I live in Cheddar.



See above.

Cheddar cheese isn't limited to one location.

 

[Paskil]

Have this sitting next to me on my front seat. Need to make preparations and will check back in with thoughts. Curious how the biscuit is compared to their regular fare. Hope there's some garlic involved.

 

[moggio]

Cheddar cheese isn't limited to one location.

The clue is in the name, mate.

 

[Apt101]

Why are people arguing over and being pedantic about cheddar cheese, it's just a thread about fast food, something all of GAF can unite together for.

 

[giga]

The clue is in the name, mate.

The name doesn't mean anything. There's no PDO on cheddar. It's the type of cheese.

 

[perfectchaos007]

The clue is in the name, mate.

Are y'all planning to sue American's who call their "fake" Cheddar cheese "Cheddar" just like Parmesan planned on doing?

 

[Phu]

The name doesn't mean anything. There's no PDO on cheddar. It's the type of cheese.

The EU doesn't even think the location means shit.

 

[perfectchaos007]

The EU doesn't even think the location means shit.

I thought they did

Parmigiano-Reggiano, or Parmesan cheese, is a hard, granular cheese. The name "Parmesan" is often used generically for various simulations of this cheese, although this is prohibited in trading in the European Economic Area under European law

 

[moggio]

It's the type of cheese.

From Cheddar.

Anything else is a homage.

But not if it's orange.

Look, it's a touchy subject when people have brazenly appropriated your local cheese and invariably got it wrong in the process.

American Exceptionalism in action.

 

[Phu]

That's parm tho.

 

[Ashhong]

Seems like the biscuit is unchanged. Looking forward to your reports on that.

Wow, I had no idea cheese was such a big deal.

Be sure to take it to Cheddarfordshire, England or wherever and get their approval.

Expecting your little village of Cheddar with 5,000 inhabitants to produce enough of your local "Cheddar" for the world is asking a bit much don't you think? Nothing wrong with a little outsourcing.

 

[OdysseusVA]

This thread went to a stupid place

 

[Holiday]

of all the threads to derail lol

 

[geomon]

Really? We have this delicious gift to humanity on display here and in locations nationwide and we're going to argue about the quality of the fucking cheese dust on it? If you're going to Popeye's for deluxe fried chicken and seafood cooked in premium expensive ingredients, you're doing this shit wrong.

 

[AcridMeat]

I like fried shrimp, I like cheddar cheese, but this doesn't sound appealing to me.

 

[RBH]

*re-enters thread to see how everyone is reacting*


Hay guyz, what's goin-

 

[CazTGG]

See the problem I see is that you don't believe in the shrimps. They could grow up to be the next president with the right amount of orange flavoring.

You have insulted America's shrimp population with your hurtful remark. The shrimp are above the Baby in Chief.

 

[Cheat Code]

Where I'm from they push cheese down a hill.

 

[Caddywompus]

I tried these the other night, turned out pretty damn good. Bet I could make these unholy marriage of sea and dough at home.

 

[Wood Man]

Never had Popeye's shrimp. It's so far out of the way anytime I go it's because I crave their chicken.

 

[Kelsdesu]

Never had Popeye's shrimp. It's so far out of the way anytime I go it's because I crave their chicken.

I swear every Popeyes location is just far enough away to be a hassle and if its close the parking situation is terrible.

 

[C-Drive]

I like fried shrimp, I like cheddar cheese, but this doesn't sound appealing to me.

Don't worry, it doesn't taste like anything other than regular ole fried shrimp.

Now can we talk about that "Blackened Ranch" dipping sauce Popeye's has?

 

[Wood Man]

I swear every Popeyes location is just far enough away to be a hassle and if its close the parking situation is terrible.

Shame deal with me. Sometimes I leave 20 minutes early for work just to snag a box for dinner.

 

[Paskil]

Super disappointed. I didn't check until I got home and found that they gave me a regular biscuit instead of the cheddar. The shrimp was about what you'd expect, although they gave me a few more than the advertised amount. The ghost pepper jelly dipping sauce was laughably mild (it makes me angry that companies do this).

Be sure to take it to Cheddarfordshire, England or wherever and get their approval.

I'm from and live in Wisconsin. Ain't no one fucking with our cheese game.

The 5000 people living in Cheddar England want to fight you apparently

I'm not convinced there is a cheddar biscuit. It doesn't mention it in the op

 

[Paskil]

You're right. Can't believe I overlooked that as someone that parses writing for my job. -.-

I definitely didn't notice anything special about the shrimp. How disappointing.

 

[Nairume]

Checkers had something like this until recently. They were wonderful right up until the food poisoning.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Jesus that looks good. Was going to have 5 Guys on Sunday for my cheat day meal, but I think I'll switch to this.

 

[Devilgunman]

It's just a fast food for fuck sake. Do you expect it to be gourmet or authentic? Popeyes calls it a "Cheddar" then it's their cheddar. Who care what it's made of. I'll eat the shit out of Popeye's food even if it's made from old socks.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Reviewbrah tears Popeyes a new one. He blames Burger Kings acquisition of Popeyes to the drop in quality

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d5NJgO38AE

 

[ghostofsparta]

Oh wow Burger King bought Popeyes? So that's why they're doing these wack breadings. How long until we see mac and Cheetos shrimp?
