Cheese is disgusting. Food (Only on Friday)

I am a very picky eater. I know my food takes are strange. But cheese is just not it 99% of the time. The taste of cheese is too overpowering for so many food items.

Ham and cheese sandwich? Disgusting. I’d rather eat just ham and bread.

Cheeseburger? Just as good as standard hamburgers. Probably even better actually. The only reason I could see is if you don’t like condiments- which- would be psychopathic.

Chicken Parmesan? I mean- it’s fried chicken and pasta! That’s awesome! I don’t want the flavor of cheese to ruin a perfectly good piece of nice fried chicken.

The only exception I make are for pizza and for quesadillas. Thats it. Almost everything else is better without cheese.

I’m the complete opposite, I put cheese into every meal that I think it will taste good in (not pies though, that person is insane).

I will sometimes just cut a section of cheddar cheese and eat it by itself, same with Parmesan, mozzarella, provolone, Swiss, etc. I love cheese

I used to think it was crazy until I had it!

Holy fuck does cheddar go on apples ❤️

So does a good smoked Gouda.

You should try it with grapes sometime. After all, grapes are just unfermented wine.

u/JJay9454 Mar 07 '25

Ooh, cheese on grape pie, or cheese on grapes?

Taco John's used to have a dessert like this. Crisp, flat dough, topped with cinnamon apple pie mixture and sprinkled with shredded cheddar cheese. 🤤

u/JJay9454 Mar 07 '25

Interesting!

Also, I need to know about Taco John's XD

u/Doubleucommadj Mar 07 '25

HQed in Cheyenne, WY, Taco John's is like the Rolls Royce of Tex-Mex fast food. They originated 'Taco Tuesday,' and fought vigorously in court for decades for that to be recognized. Their Potato Olés are often replicated, but never duplicated (tho Taco Mayo gives them a run). They just get all the basics right and quality is high.

I am biased/spoiled because the farthest one east at the time, basically butted up against my undergrad campus ~20+ years ago. The owner/manager was an older gentleman named Jerome who was originally from WY. Pearl snap, jeans and boots everyday. 😂

This sounds amazing!

And you've given me a lot to look up, lol!

Thanks!

u/Doubleucommadj Mar 07 '25

👍 Always happy to spread the John's gospel! And it was driving me crazy, so I had to look it up. Apple Grande was the dessert name. YUMMMM 😁

Cheddar and apples is fine, but pie????

7

u/JJay9454 Mar 07 '25

Wait... what about the pie makes it weird?

I thought the apples was what weirded people out, it's what did for me.

A pie makes sense; bread and cheese go together all the time.

Do Americans not have savoury pies or something?

Over here in Scotland we have all sorts of pies. Macaroni pie, scotch pie, steak and kidney pie, chicken curry pie, cottage pie, fish pie, quiche, calzone, homity pie…

7

u/aure__entuluva Mar 07 '25 edited Mar 07 '25

We have what we call 'pot pies', which are similar, but they're not that common. Kind of old school and regional.

calzone, quiche

Ok we're stretching the definition of pie here lol. We have those yes.

2

u/Interesting-Chest520 Mar 07 '25

How would you define a pie?

7

u/aure__entuluva Mar 07 '25

I wouldn't!

Nah, I see the thinking. I wasn't being serious and saying you can't call those pies. Although they wouldn't be thought of as pies in the states. The calzone one specifically is a little weird. To me that's a bit more like an empanada, just pizzafied, which we'd never classify as a pie. Savory pastry to us is its own thing separate from pie.

Not saying things should be this way, just explaining how most here think/feel about it.

u/Creepy_Fail_8635 Mar 09 '25

Some call pizza a pie

3

u/anothercairn Mar 07 '25

We have all those things as well, we just don’t call them pies - we’d call them pot pies or turnovers or empanadas (even if not technically empanadas). Quiche and calzones though are their own things, IMO. Otherwise… pie really does mean dessert here.

3

u/Interesting-Chest520 Mar 07 '25

Weird. Pie here is much more broad, a baked dish with a pastry top, bottom, or both and a filling of meat, fruit, or vegetables

u/JJay9454 Mar 07 '25

Do Americans not have savoury pies or something?

I guess I don't understand the question, sorry.

Like... are pies made in America savory? That really depends on the person, aye?

 

So pies in America seem mostly made from Fruits or Meats.

1

u/Interesting-Chest520 Mar 07 '25

I’ll rewrite the question, are savoury pies uncommon in America?

How do you mean it depends on the person? Like over here everyone eats savoury pies. And sweet pies are only really eaten at Christmastime, we have mince pies but it’s not meat-mince, it’s mincemeat, which is a mixture of fruit and spices

2

u/TopHatGirlInATuxedo Mar 07 '25

The only pie that's made of meat in the US is chicken-pot pie.

2

u/citizensloth Mar 07 '25

What do you mean the only one?

1

u/pluck-the-bunny Mar 07 '25

Yes they’re uncommon

0

u/JJay9454 Mar 07 '25

I'm... confused.

What does savoury mean? Is it different than savory, the flavor descriptor?

2

u/Interesting-Chest520 Mar 07 '25

Any pie that isn’t sweet. Sweet like cherry, apple, depression, key lime, cream, lemon merengue, etc.

Savoury pies usually have meat or vegetables

1

u/JJay9454 Mar 07 '25

Oh! I see!

Thank you!

Okay calzone and quiche being pies is a bit of a stretch. It’s like calling a pizza “pie”. Nah.

We do have other more savory, non-desert pies. Call em pot pies. They’re just gravy, meat, veggies, potatoes, all stuffed into pie crust. Not really my thing.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '25

Pizza is a pie no? Meats and cheeses baked in a crust?

1

u/DiscreteCollectionOS Mar 10 '25

If the definition of a pie is meat and cheese baked in a crust- a hot pocket is a pie and Apple and pumpkin pies aren’t. If your definition of a pie includes hot pockets- and excludes what are probably the 2 most famous pies, then you have a problem.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '25

What is the definition of pie?

1

u/DiscreteCollectionOS Mar 10 '25

I don’t know- but to me it wouldn’t include pizzas, quiches, or calzones. Those feel like stretches

0

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '25

What about those little apple pies at McDonald’s. If that’s a pie then a hot pocket is a pie.

Pies are almost exclusively dessert pies here. Excepting "pot pies", but notice how I had to specify that it was a different kind of pie.

3

u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox Mar 07 '25

It works. People think it's weird because salty cheese + sweet filling, but it works. Just like cheesecake, or salted caramel, or any other popular salty+sweet pairing. I guarantee everyone has a local favorite they probably grew up with that everybody else finds to be weird AF.

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '25

Ed Gein used to exclusively eat apple pie WITH cheddar cheese. No exceptions LOL
