They are actually more rubbery.  To hold it in your hand they feel  
quite rubbery.  But you can separate them in the same way you can  
separate those processed cheese string things.  My only complaint  
about Cheese Curd is that it squeaks against your teeth as you bite  
through it.

odd stuff really.
