What kind of world would you live in?
2008-10-30
It's funny to me how cheese seems to make everything better. I made scrambled eggs for dinner the other day. (Hey, there's nothing wrong with eating breakfast for dinner!) And it was ten times more fabulous with some fresh parmesan included (and some basil- mmmmm!). Adding cheese to pasta inevitably makes it taste better. And you've got to add cheese to garlic bread, sandwiches, and pretty much everything else (in my life, at least!). Cheese is pervasive and delicious.
Of course, there are other foods that tend to make many tastes better. Chocolate is one. Why eat a cherry when you could have a chocolate-covered cherry (and boy does that go for strawberries too!)? What's a sundae without hot fudge or peanut butter without a chocolate shell? Or a mocha latte without mocha?! Heck, I prefer my pretzels covered in chocolate!
So what would you do if you were forced to make a terrible choice. What would you do if the food spirits demanded...
Which would be preferable, a world without cheese or a world without chocolate?
Bill from New York answers, "Without chocolate. Too much stuff is made with cheese, whereas chocolate is just dessert, which I can live without." Jennifer from Boston prefers a world, "without cheese. Gotta have chocolate." And Jill from New York concludes, "A world without cheese. Without chocolate would be too tragic."
It's funny how there seems to be a gender divide on the issue! Go figure!
Okay, first of all, I have to take issue (as a representative of the female gender in this debate) with the conclusion that chocolate is "just dessert." I take issue with the very idea of "just dessert." There is no "just" in dessert! Dessert is a foundation of the state of happiness. Just dessert, indeed!
Of course, as may be evident from my choice of food blog topics, cheese is also a foundation of happiness from my perspective. Come on, I want to have my cake, and eat my cheese too!
I guess when push comes to shove I'm going to have to go with my gender and opt for a cheese-free world (under extreme duress!). I feel like a traitor to my blog! For shame! Can't we just have a world without cauliflower or something?
And our next exhilirating cheese topic will be: "What's the best cheese to put in a salad?" Until next time, enjoy your cheese and your chocolate while you can!
