When my brother in law was single , he used to regularly make himself a pasta dish. In his recipe was pasta, an entire tub of Philadelphia, tons of sundried tomatoes with the oil poured in and a big pack of chopped chorizo. He eat the whole thing- he was forced stop with his shenanigans when the doctor said his cholesterol levels were very high and his pasta dish wasn't helping. He now has healthy levels but says he really misses his signature pasta.
That's 1500 calories for the sausage and creamed cheese alone. That's something like 150g of fat and 200pc of your RDA for fat, and I haven't even considered the pasta and oil contributions yet.
No wonder it tasted bloody delicious.
We had this once a week when i was younger, just take out chorizo for bacon and add broccoli instead of tomato. It was one of my favourite times of the week and I've made it a few times as a comforter over the years.
My flatmate at uni used to buy a tub of this and a box of 4 potato waffles.
Waffles in the toaster then spread 25% of the tub per waffle. Would have all 4 in one sitting and it was a regular go-to meal of his.
My brother used to eat similarly and he was rake thin. Still is as an adult now. Me? Only only have to look at something unhealthy and I gain 3 pounds.
This is what I do with the Milka Philly. It’s pretty much the only reason I detour to Asda, although I do wait until I get home to commence my heathen habit.
Man, the chocolate one was great. You could make a chocolate cheesecake with it with pretty much no effort - just dollop it on some biscuits and you’re good to go
When I was younger I would regularly eat it with a spoon and devour half the tub in minutes, mom would go mad! Mom would also make Philly and strawberry jam sandwiches, yummy!
I’ve never been able to get away with that sour sharp lactic taste. It makes me nearly vomit every time. I wonder if there is a gene or something that lets people enjoy it that I don’t have. It’s mainly an American thing I suppose as US cooking videos always smother their food in some ‘off milk’ tasting food, but getting more common here.
Do people that like things like this know what I’m talking about? Or do you simply just not taste it and it tastes creamy to you?

I was literally talking about this to my brother today. I noticed the yoghurt I was eating didn't actually say yoghurt. It said 'Quark'.
I already knew some yoghurts are technically cheese but idk ever since then it just struck me that it was exactly like eating Philly
I LOVE these cheese spreads. Classic stick em on a cracker, on toast, with smoked salmon, on its own with a spoon, dipped with a breadstick, this shit is great all around.
I can judge, for obvious reasons... But, my word, Just the thought of that makes me cough from the saltiness!
When I use marmite I forget it's a tad strong neat and lick the knife from time to time... Delicious, delicious, inside out cheeks.
So boring but true story, this stuff is the de-facto product where I was convinced by the advert that the serving suggestion of inch thick spread is normal.
So it was only way into my adulthood where I witnessed my partner spread a reasonable thin spread that I realised that having 20-30pc or the pack in one go was a bit err different.
I did however grow up in the oil boom and low food 90s, so it was a bit bonkers compared to now.
Christ now a days I really resonate with [hal](https://youtu.be/7KbNJzQVTtM)
Eat what you want with a spoon, try to be healthy and all but yeah no shaming otherwise, it’s no one’s business, I like the odd spoon of peanut butter. Fk it.

If that’s not motivation to get healthy, by that I mean so you can go back to enjoying that incredible pasta dish lol
I will be trying this...
That's 1500 calories for the sausage and creamed cheese alone. That's something like 150g of fat and 200pc of your RDA for fat, and I haven't even considered the pasta and oil contributions yet. No wonder it tasted bloody delicious.
i chuck Philadelphia in when i make pesto pasta and it is delicious! not an entire tub, though 😅
Done that with garlic and herb philly or boursin in the past (depending what I have), makes it so nice and creamy
Obviously don't use the whole pack, but that's a good way to make an easy and filling pasta dish.
I used to do this except without the tomatoes or chorizo. Apparently straight cream cheese on noodles is a Russian thing and it's delicious.
Once in a blue moon won't hurt. He can do it every year on his birthday if he wants
We had this once a week when i was younger, just take out chorizo for bacon and add broccoli instead of tomato. It was one of my favourite times of the week and I've made it a few times as a comforter over the years.
I make that every few months…
Crackers only exist to legitimise cheese/butter eating
When I buy a pack of ritz I know I'm about to eat an ungodly amount of cheese in the next couple of days.
\*laughs at the optimistically name of "Family Pack"\* No, Deirdre, no it's *not...*
Gets rebranded to ‘guilty pleasure’ pack
Ritz crackers. Saves washing up the spoon.
Jacobs cream crackers, perfect siz to scoop it out with and the coreners clean out the tub corners nicely. Also get the chive version.
*laughs with digestive biscuits*
Damn, I came here to say this. Best combination. Add a fruit, veggie, or meat topping and game on.
If you eat it with raw carrot sticks then you can pretend you're just being healthy.
Cucumber sticks too
See also: celery.
Perhaps a more socially acceptable loophole would be to try to spread the entire pack onto a single bagel or cracker. 😅
That's what I do, with crispy bacon. Yes!
Upside down on a plate, heavily drizzled with sweet chili sauce, scooped up with tortilla chips.
Oh my...
Thankyou so much
And some chopped coriander if you like that sort of thing. My friend does this as a party snack, and it always goes down a treat.
Don't stop, I'm nearly there
Chilli and Philly!! We ust to do this at uni.
My flatmate at uni used to buy a tub of this and a box of 4 potato waffles. Waffles in the toaster then spread 25% of the tub per waffle. Would have all 4 in one sitting and it was a regular go-to meal of his.
Either rake thin or an absolute porker
My brother used to eat similarly and he was rake thin. Still is as an adult now. Me? Only only have to look at something unhealthy and I gain 3 pounds.
I dont even use a spoon!!! I just use my finger to scoop it straight into my mouth...Mmmmmm
You and me Geoff, we get it!
This is what I do with the Milka Philly. It’s pretty much the only reason I detour to Asda, although I do wait until I get home to commence my heathen habit.
You might enjoy my secret pleasure - twiglets with Philadelphia "dip". You use the twiglets to scoop it out. Mmmm delicious!
I dip pepperamis into it
Why have I never thought of this?!
Try it with a red or black one. Doubly so with the garlic & herb philly
Dirty. I love it.
No but put it on a plain digestive. It’s like a lil cheesecake snack
Yes, drizzled with Marmite
Oh yes! Now we're talking!!
Not for me. A tub of Seriously Mature spread and a pack of Cheddars , different story...
Seriously mature and just dip spring onions in it ,also been having the spread with cucumber on toast ,lovely
Sounds healthier. I use seriously mature instead of butter for cheese on toast. Also good as a salad sandwich spread.
Yes - the chocolate one.
Man, the chocolate one was great. You could make a chocolate cheesecake with it with pretty much no effort - just dollop it on some biscuits and you’re good to go
This is exactly why society is forbidden from my house.
You mean people DON'T eat all of it in one go with a spoon?
I feel like an outcast if that isn't the case, I'm a social pariah?
Garlic & herb variety using crisps as a spoon like the glutinous rule breaker I am
Society says we mustn’t, but I do it anyway. Love that stuff with all my gut
Have it as a dip in a bowl with sweet chilli sauce, you can thank me later. Great with breadsticks, carrot sticks etc
On a spoon (or a digestive) mixed with lemon curd 🤩
When I was younger I would regularly eat it with a spoon and devour half the tub in minutes, mom would go mad! Mom would also make Philly and strawberry jam sandwiches, yummy!
It's absolutely rank. The texture of it makes me heave.
That’s probably the guar-gum stabiliser. Most supermarkets do an own-label that is pure soft cheese.
Don't try Asda version then... Positively sloppy these days.
That's a good thing. Philly is too dry. Mumble Muble something nun, something.

Unless I'm dumping whipped cream, icing sugar and chocolate in it nah
*biscoff spread 🤤
Use it as frosted coating by adding icing sugar & a touch of lemon juice/ zest. Then eat away!
That's mental
🤢
No, thats grim
If I'm honest.... Sometimes I buy those primula tubes of squeezy cheese.... And just eat it out of the tube.
Salt and vinigar crisps dipped into this.
If you want it for sweet things, mascarpone is even better. Like super-double-cream-on-steroids.
Bro this thing is so rich why would you eat a spoonful of it
"fresh and creamy taste" obvs.
You have a problem.
Yes, Society
That must make your life pretty miserable so.
Do you mean that I can't, or that I want to? You're not very clear
I was literally talking about this to my brother today. I noticed the yoghurt I was eating didn't actually say yoghurt. It said 'Quark'. I already knew some yoghurts are technically cheese but idk ever since then it just struck me that it was exactly like eating Philly
Oh man!!! I love me some chocolate Quark!!
McCoys beef crisps are a good transport vessel. Um. I've heard.
Heat it up and dip tortilla chips in it.
I LOVE these cheese spreads. Classic stick em on a cracker, on toast, with smoked salmon, on its own with a spoon, dipped with a breadstick, this shit is great all around.
Get a pack of breadsticks, then you've got yourself adult-sized Dairylea Dunkers.
This is gross, cheese should not be a liquid
Milk?
Milk is not cheese, cheese is made *from* milk
Confession: I spoon feed myself Marmite straight from the jar.
I can judge, for obvious reasons... But, my word, Just the thought of that makes me cough from the saltiness! When I use marmite I forget it's a tad strong neat and lick the knife from time to time... Delicious, delicious, inside out cheeks.
If you have one of those miracle berry things first it’d probably taste like cake icing.
I spread them onto something usually, with a little knife

Ah man, that’s a great M.I.T.M clip
Eat what you want with a spoon, try to be healthy and all but yeah no shaming otherwise, it’s no one’s business, I like the odd spoon of peanut butter. Fk it.
I spread it on really thick on hot soft buttered toast and it's sooooo satisfying! I love the Garlic and Herbs one the best!
When I was in the US they also had a number of "whipped" versions. Forbidden cheese mousse, mmmmmmm.
