That might be the same thing...does it have cheese cubes in it?

Yes, but I think it is Tofu and not cheese. I thought it was cheese for a long time and ate it like crazy. At one time a few of us at work were doing a low carb diet and got the guy at the restaurant to explain the ingredients in our favorite dishes and he explained that is was tofu and not cheese. I only eat it on accident now.

From wiki:
"a food made by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into soft white blocks."

"Tofu originated in Han dynasty China some 2,000 years ago."

"Tofu has a low calorie count and relatively large amounts of protein. It is high in iron and depending on the coagulants used in manufacturing (e.g. calcium chloride, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate), it is often high in calcium and/or magnesium." It is also a low carb food.
