Mmm. Cheesy

[caddyman]

There is no foodstuff on the planet that cannot be improved by the addition of cheese of one kind or another. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. There are many, many different cheeses and there is always one that goes nicely with something.

So imagine my dismay, then, when I see that colonel_maxim, himself no stranger to the gustatory excellence of the curd bewails the addition of a tasty mozzarella to bulk up a curry that is just too small for a single portion, but just too big to make it worth cooking additional victuals. In short, I was dumfounded.

I must confess that the glutinous side-effect of the mingling of cheese, curry and rice was an unforeseen bonus, but this in no way detracts from the basic question of taste. And the ensuing meal was decidedly tasty.

It did occur to me later, that this is halfway to being a recipe for a curried cheese patty, for had I had some flour, it would have been easily possible to make the curry into two or three patties and fried them. Now that would have been a tasty treat.

Especially with onions.

“Not a particularly discerning palate?”

Tch. I think the evidence speaks for itself.

Hmmm, mozzarella in a curry?
I can see perhaps cheddar or somesuch, the problem with mozzarella is the stringy element.

Still, never say never, and I'd try it before passing judgement.


On a related note, a friend of mine has an innovative method of thickening sauces (she can't use flour due to intolerances); instead she uses parmezan, a trick I really must give a go at some point.

I like a nice Paneer Curry, but the dreams aren't the same.

Curry pizza?

"There is no foodstuff on the planet that cannot be improved by the addition of cheese"

I'm inclined to challenge you on this theory, and would be interested to hear how (and which) cheese could improve each of the following random examples:

Porridge
Corn Flakes
Chocolate Chip Muffins
KFC hot wings
Won ton soup
Treacle pudding

We bow to you oh lord and master of the profoundly Cheesy. May your curd always light your Whey. You are truly a man of great Mould.
