First of all: What the hey is it? Where do you get it? How do you make it?
Secondly, does it make you evil if you eat it?

Had one in Paris was pretty good, it's an instant heart attack though.
AW: The cheese steak thread.
There used to be a guy that ran a great little eatery near my house called "Phillysophical Deli," really great Philly Cheese Sandwiches with the addition of onions and mushrooms. Really greasy food food though and not good for the ol' circulatory system, but damn it tasted good. Not sure whether it would be authentic but it was good regardless. Too bad the guy went out of business, not much call for Philly Cheese in Hawaii I guess.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

Cheesesteak is a Philadelphia specialty. This city was founded by Greek colonists in the 17th century, hence the name. These founders brought the recipe for cheesesteak with them, so that they could daily be remembered of the taste of Ancient Grease.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: Re : The cheese steak thread.
OK. Let's be European about this. Just tell me they use Fourme d'Ambert for cheese. Say it now! I will be totally crushed and your revenge on me complete.

Re: The cheese steak thread.
Says it all .Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell, cooks outside Philadelphia can't produce an authentic Philly cheesesteak because, "first, they use good meat. You need the fattiest, stringiest meat to get a proper taste... The second mistake is, they use real cheese. Real cheese doesn't melt like Cheez Whiz... And third, when they fry their onions, they actually drain off the grease. You can't do that."[
Re: The cheese steak thread.
I've only had (true)cheese steaks a couple times(four to be exact, well, kinda), and they were infinitely more delicious in the Philly area than anywhere else.

Re: The cheese steak thread.
There is a war in Philly as to who makes the best cheese steak. The two heavyweights are Geno's and Pat's. They are literally a stone's throw away from each other, opposite corners of an intersection. Geno's has a much higher public profile (compare websites) as does it's owner, the outspoken Joey Vento. There is a "right" way to order your cheese steak too. I don't know all the details but I do recall that you are supposed to say "wid" if you want it "with onions" and you just say "whiz" for Cheeze Whiz. As I recall, the staff will poke fun at you if you order like a newbie.
I've sampled both Pat's and Geno's cheese steaks. Alas, there were too many years between eating each to compare which is best, but I do recall they were both excellent.
