". Chesdale Cheese was a variety of cheese produced for the mass market in New Zealand. Chiefly remembered for its very memorable animated television advertising with the jingle sung by two cartoon characters Ches and Dale wearing gumboots and black singlet. "
". This brand of cheese, or a derivative thereof, is still produced and sold in individually wrapped, pre-sliced portions. This (combined with its highly processed nature) has given it the popular slang name of "plastic cheese" or (more formally) "processed cheese". "
Oh No! Now I've got the jingle running through my head.

I remember buying this on a whim due to fond childhood memories a few years ago (no idea if it's still available) and being dissapointed. Tastes can change I guess but good luck getting hold of it, maybe you'll enjoy it better than I did.

Nearly as bad as the old KFC one back in the days before they relabeled to leave out the term 'fried'. ;-)
. and Hugo said you go.

And I said no you go. So we sat in the back. ! Can still picture that car going from side to side. I could barely describe an ad these days if it wasn't for my husband making me watch the new BP and Vodafone ads of cute animals being rescued.

LOL wendalls. adds are those things that pop up in the side bar of websites aren't they? Sometimes I wonder why we have a telly dominating our lounge but, the man still likes to watch stuff that way (although he's also rather fond of his laptop since he bought his first ever last year - sometimes he even has more than one tab open at a time! ;)

Used to have a recipe where you put chesdale cheese in a pot with water and onion to make into a spread it was nice but not sure what it would taste like now It was good for sandwiches and the kids loved it as well
I can not get it here and have tried all the supermarkets. SO I get it from Ausie, each time I go I buy 4 large (500gr) blocks and my sister sends them to me also. Have just opened another one. Yummy cheese for lunch.

Is that the one that goes: We are the boys from down on the farm We really know our cheese. There's much better value in Chesdale It rarely fails to please. ?
Or something like that

I must have eaten it when I was a child, but I can't remember what it tasted like. All I can remember is an unpleasant sticky texture and little triangles wrapped in foil.

But the real mystery is . whatever happened to those bread rolls that you used to get with Kentucky Fried (back in the day when they were being honest about their product - fried - )? They were kind of yellow and probably full of MSG but they were good. Well at least I thought they were. back then. maybe they'd be consigned to the same place in my memory as chesdale cheese should I ever get to try them again lol.

We still make this. Now that you can't buy the blocks in the yellow box, I just buy colby grated cheddar.Add half cup of milk to 3 cups grated cheese and a chopped onion, salt/pepper. Put in pot and melt on low heat enough to combine. DONT let it boil. Pour into a airtight container, allow to cool, keep in fridge. YUMMO!
