Watching a YouTube video about "fake foods" and the announcer was talking about how Velveeta isn't legally considered to be cheese, but "admittedly makes for a great queso".
Umm... who's gonna tell her?

Has anyone found anything to eat that isn't chemicals? Photosynthesis maybe?

I like theplantslant. A bit sweary, but down to earth and relatively sciencey.
Also, NutritionByKylie. Very nice recipes and nutrition tips, very sweet demeanor. Very humane.

PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO SOLID DHMO CAUSES SEVERE TISSUE DAMAGE. GASEOUS DHMO CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. ACCIDENTAL INHALATION OF DHMO EVEN IN SMALL QUANTITIES CAN CAUSE DEATH.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •I think, in American English, "queso" is a type of dip/sauce that is _primarily_ cheese-ish. This is opposed to Spanish (Hispanic or Castilian) where "queso" IS cheese.
But, maybe I've just been beaten down my the internet for being to "prescriptive". In any case, people often use language in ways that don't match my understanding, and it certainly doesn't mean _they_ are wrong/flawed.
(Still, it _is_ funny.)

in reply to Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. • • •@BoydStephenSmithJr absolutely. We all speak our own language, I think, with some tolerance for variance.
Everything outside that is wrong.
I would argue people who speak more than two languages come around to the point that there is no "wrong". Just failure to convey meaning in a particular context.

in reply to Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. • • •Yeah, it's usually cheese adjacent and white. I can't recall if it's Velveeta or an off brand that sells a melt-able brick of "dairy product" called "queso blanco"
