Is there really anything that can't be made BETTER by the adding of Sharp cheddar?

Me thinks not.

but wait, lj. What if it were just one little cat turd and you crushed it under a 40 pound wheel of sharp cheddar, then rolled the wheel off the loading dock with the turd stuck to it and into the dumpster.

That would be an improvement, no?

OK, you got him on that one. See what you can do with this: getting buttfucked in the mouth.
ZenGum • Aug 25, 2008 7:27 pm
Well, you'd have something to eat afterwards.


Something else, I mean.
lumberjim • Aug 25, 2008 7:44 pm
and it WOULD over ride the taste of shitcock.

I would vote to be flint so I could cover pooka in warm hunter's sharp cheddar by cabot and thinly sliced potatoes with crumbled hickory smoked bacon pieces and then commence eating. Of course the kids would be at grandma's house.

For the week.

Am I in the wrong thread?

Oh please.:eyebrow: Cabot is the walmart of cheese.

My waistline. ;)

Is Sharp a brand name?
I'm afraid I can't comment as I've never tasted it if so.

But I have long said that everything is improved by the addition of cheese and Tabasco, with the possible exception of Cornflakes, so I think that applies here.

Sharp is a description of flavor differences in cheeses - v. "mild", "sharp" indicates more tangy.
DanaC • Aug 26, 2008 9:45 am
ahhh, we call that 'mature'.

I was going to second the chocolate, but then on reviewing the other answers, I think it might be a better idea to stay far, far away from this thread. I'm only posting because I can't unread it.

I'm not completely convinced that the brownie would not be delightful with sharp cheddar... after all cheddar and guayabada are the perfect combo... and seemingly unlikely too...

I'll have to experiment...

speaking of experimenting... Squirel nuts... that does sound at least entertaining... I like the idea about the kids being elsewheres... it opens up all sorts of posibilities... I really don't allow food in bedrooms... it brings ants... and it might be hard to explain to our 2 year old if she walked in to the dinning room in the midst of it all... of course, with her love of cheese it would be REALLY awkward.

Honey, you have to explain your wacky Brasilian food, or at least post a link.

It is a Guava paste... I think Goya makes it and it can be found in most Mexican or international grocery stores... in a thin large flat can... see cartoon image below:

i don't eat paste.:headshake
Clodfobble • Aug 27, 2008 12:14 pm
Is it like... refried beans? That's a paste that goes well with cheddar.
Pooka • Aug 27, 2008 3:01 pm
No. Guava is a fruit. It is a sweet gelatinous paste. It is really very tasty.
Clodfobble • Aug 27, 2008 4:51 pm
Is it can-shaped, like cranberry sauce?
Aliantha • Aug 27, 2008 5:51 pm
Yummm. I lov guava's. In fact, I've planted a grafted tree in my front yard in the hopes that it'll bear fruit in a couple of years.

People put cheddar on apple pie, don't they? I have never tried that...it does not sound good...but I learned that beer and doughnuts go well together so why not throw apples and cheese into the mix?
Pooka • Aug 28, 2008 3:37 pm
I love cheddar on apple pie... it is lacking without it in fact. Make that a la mode
DanaC • Aug 28, 2008 3:49 pm
Cheddar on apple pie? Really? Never come across that one before. Apple and cheese together yes, but not cooked apple.
Flint • Aug 28, 2008 3:54 pm
Anyway, so you spread the guava paste on little pieces of sharp cheddar, man. They're called, like, Romeo and Juliets, or something, because they're "not supposed to go together."

Oh, and I think this thread was inspired when Pooka made Shepard's Pie and put cheese in the mashed tatties; because, why not? Also, she usually uses vegetarian Haggis as the "meat" but this time she used ground Buffalo. Yeah!
Aliantha • Aug 28, 2008 5:26 pm
about the guava paste and cheese. Don't you all often have something sweet with your cheese and crackers? Sliced pear maybe or strawberries? Dates? I have this really nice apricot and almond paste that goes down a treat, and my son just loves apple maple jelly with cheese.

We often have a plate with a selection of cheeses and fruit on the weekend arvos here, and it wouldn't be half as good without the sweet stuff.
Pooka • Aug 28, 2008 6:02 pm
I do... I like cheese... and pretty much everything I can think of so far rocks the box with cheddar...

Traditional New England farmer fare, that is. It's rather like eating cheddar with a pear -- the piquancy of the sharp cheddar counters the near-cloying fruity sweetness of the pear. Usually the cheddar cheese is served with, not topping, the slice of pie. The diner mixes bites as desired. There's a couplet:

Apple pie without the cheese
Is like the kiss without the squeeze.

Very aged, flaky, sharp Vermont Cheddar...best when eaten alone, or maybe on a crispy flatbread. It would be a damn shame to melt it on anything.
xoxoxoBruce • Aug 31, 2008 2:48 am
Very few people have ever had, "Very aged, flaky, sharp Vermont Cheddar", because it can't be had in chain supermarkets. Specialty or cheese stores might have it, but it's as expensive as it is good. :yum:

Starting at $10+ per pound, for the fair-to-middling stuff, it's not practical for cooking, any more than a $100 bottle of wine belongs in a mixed punch.

Sour Patch Kids and Swedish Fish.

I mean, have I ever mentioned to you that I never get enough cheese? Well, you know, I never get enough cheese.

Unless I have Swedish Fish. Or Sour Patch Kids. Or Gummy Bears.

Or well, you get it by now.
