You can get great cheese, shredded.  (Cabot / Seriously Sharp!)  

Does it cost extra for something that would only take a minute and typically produce a better result?  Yes.  Yes, it does.

You can buy pre-shredded Cabot??

I actually did a coat analysis and it's almost the exact same price by weight for block cheese and shredded.
The difference in flavor and texture is well worth the effort to shred it.

I do prefer to buy blocks of cheese and shred them but for my tacos I buy Cabot Mexican shredded cheese.

For Parmesan or Reggiano though they have to be blocks.  The taste is so much better when you fresh grate it.

I happen to like the Kraft grated parmesan that's 50% sawdust lol

For tacos, I go fresh shredded jack.

I have some of that "100%" kraft parmesan...you know, for the kids.

Grew up eating that stuff - love the 50% sawdust comment and I used to coat my pasta with it.  (yuck)

I use the real stuff that I grate over my plate.

I don't use it for much, but it's salty as fuck and dry enough to really thicken a sauce up, so I have a few uses for it, most notably crappy spaghetti, shitty pizza, and Cajun pasta.

All my time in Louisiana and I never had Cajun pasta.

WTH is that?

A sauce of white wine and heavy cream and aa liberal dose of Slap Ya Mama Hot seasoning wirkth andoullie sausage and sauted OGPs.

It's a dish you'll likely find on menus at places like Chili's, Applebee's, Cheesecake Factory, UNO, TGI Friday's, etc. 

It's on the menu at my house and everybody loves it.
Despite what some foodies will insist, authentic isn't always better.  

No judgment here. I was just telling him where he could find it if he wanted to give it a try. I think one of those places is closer to him than your house. What's an OGP?

Ah, ok, it did sound like a light jab to me.
OGP is our household slang for our Holy Trinity of cooking.  Onions, Garlic, Peppers.
Not much do I cook without those three, and I grow them in abundance.

HAHAHAHA!!! Slap ya Momma!!! I haven't heard that since I was IN Louisiana.  That's the only place I've ever seen that seasoning.

How the hell did you come across that where you live?!?

Walmart carries it! The hot and mild.  I dump that shit all over my sweet potato fries when I make 'em and I use it for the pasta.

It's because McGruff taught him the "art" of folding.

Precisely.

A pizza cutter?  There mustn't be any pizza shops by you...

An essential tool unless you have a double handled machete the pizza shops have. 

I don't know anyone who still uses the pizza cutters that they bought in.. I guess the 90s/early 2000s.

Everyone uses a scissor, or a knife. Atleast here in Sweden. Amongst people I know. And we have many pizza places and great pizzas here.

Scissors to cut up pizza is lifehack no 1
