Is there really anything that can't be made BETTER by the adding of Sharp cheddar? - Page 2

Pooka · 08-27-2008, 10:10 AM

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.

Clodfobble · 08-27-2008, 12:14 PM

Is it like... refried beans? That's a paste that goes well with cheddar.

Pooka · 08-27-2008, 03:01 PM

No. Guava is a fruit. It is a sweet gelatinous paste. It is really very tasty.

Clodfobble · 08-27-2008, 04:51 PM

Is it can-shaped, like cranberry sauce?

Indeed

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 · 08-28-2008, 03:37 PM

I love cheddar on apple pie... it is lacking without it in fact. Make that a la mode

Cheddar on apple pie? Really? Never come across that one before. Apple and cheese together yes, but not cooked apple.

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.

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 · 08-28-2008, 05:26 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.
