what doesn't go with cheese???

[Firky]

It's because uncooked cheese and cooked cheese are two completely different elements on the gastronomic periodic table. Heat transmogrifies the cheese into something completely other.

Cheese is one of the 10 best food groups.

Cold carrot sticks dipped into melty baked Brie, woo hoo. A good example of a cold vegetable and a hot cheese.

Wrong un fruit and cheese combinations

Water Melon
Galia Melon
Honeydew Melon
(and probably all other sorts of melon)

Pomegranate
Persimmon
Lychees



ORANGES.

Melon and feta is a staple of Turkish breakfast, with hard white cheese, salty olives, chopped tomatoes and soft white bread so I disagree with you there.

Pomegranate would be nice with blue cheese I think

Lychees and Wensleydale? might work

Oranges, nope. Unless caramelized in a cheesecake or with mascarpone after being soaked in brandy

 

[cesare]

Can't say I'm keen on the prospect of tripe and cheese. Or even black pudding and cheese.

I agree. One is just plain wrong and the other just seems like too much of a good thing.

 

[ChrisFilter]

I wouldn't put cheese with hummous or tahini either ...

You poor, poor fool

 

[ChrisFilter]

Cheese n foie gras would be truly hurl making imo

You again?

Cheese and pate is lovely

I'm sorry BK but you're taking it to extremes here. This is a UK board and we're talking about UK dishes etc etc etc if you carry on in this vein* we'll have another immigration thread springing up before we can say 'it's like living in Nazi Germany '




* You saw what I did there.













Pomegranates might be OK for Persephone, but they're too much trouble for the right minded imo. They are a troublesome fruit and should not be further complicated by cheese.

I think there's a blood and oil extravanganza that would turn any normal stomach

Please do not diminish a nicely force fed goose liver to the common denominator of pate. Thanks.

Goats cheese and pomegranate couscous with pine nuts

Perfect lunchbox material. This salad keeps very well and has a great balance of flavours and textures. Serves 2.

150g/5¼oz couscous
175ml/6fl oz hot organic chicken or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
juice of ½ lime
2 x 100g/3½oz slices of firm goat's cheese, crumbled
seeds of 1 pomegranate
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander or mint
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

· Place the couscous in a large bowl and cover with the hot stock. Set aside for 10 minutes until the grains are tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.

· Mix together the dressing of olive oil, molasses and lime juice.

· Fluff up the couscous using a fork, then gently stir through the cheese, pomegranate seeds, herbs and pine nuts.

Cheese doesn't go well in coffee.

What the fuck is 'pomegranate molasses'

It's a sorry state of affairs when the Grauniad is reduced to pomegranate molasses

That's not 'cheese in coffee' though.

Yes, our stomachs generally place a very miserly limit on good things but I think it's probably for the best, otherwise our brains might explode with excess deliciousness. Nature knows what she's doing.

I'd be fucking spitting feathers if I found parmesan shavings in my sherbert dip

Just ate haddock with crumbled stilton and spinach. Kinda worked.

I was going to have it plain but the thread aroused in me a fierce desire for cheese.

Basically it says that cigarettes are made from all kinds of delicious things. Including starfruits. And cheese.

... did I win?

Technically, its coffee in cheese.

Cooking is all about how you put things together rather than what you put together.

It wasn't cheese, but I just had an odd combination: Fritos and hot chocolate. Yes, I know that's sick.

Someone thought up a use for starfruit - that's pretty cool.

I note there's banana in there too - HA!
