      “Natural byproduct of the cheesemaking process” is the key term here. They don’t chop up blocks of cheese to get curds, curds are curdled chunks that form when the cheese is still liquid.

      To be clear, I’m taking issue with the cut up bits of cheese part, not the battered and deep fried part

        Ah, yeah. Ideally you get the natural curds. In a pinch you can just chop up blocks though. The best ones I’ve actually ever had were fried cubes in a small town dive bar.

        There are far bigger food crimes out there than frying cubes of cheese and calling them cheese curds.
