Hello gaf,

Do you put a slice of cheddar or American cheese on your warm apple pie?

Thread is not vegan friendly, but is cool for vegetarians.

Thank.

If there was cheese going on my apple pie, it sure as shit wouldn't be cheddar.

Cream Cheese, Brie, maybe gouda.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Too funny.

 

[Catphish]

Do you put ketchup on ice cream?

Do you put hot sauce on cake?

Do you put cat shit on a croissant?

wtf

This is actually a real thing that a lot of people I grew up around do / did. I was reminded thanks to dr_octagon 's thread about salt on watermelon. Also by Northeastmonk 's thread about your parent's worst food ideas - because I think my son would probably answer that thread with "cheese on apple pie".

This is centuries old and phased out in favor of other dairy products (cream, ice cream). If you have a problem with sharp cheddar on apple pie then stick two fingers up and say fuck the queen.

there is a restaurant/pub nearby where I work that does these weekly crazy grilled cheese sandwiches. A few months ago they did one where it was:

– Bacon
– cheddar cheese
– apple pie filling

That shit changed my life

Ever had a Monte Cristo?

I rarely have pie, but a fined port aged cheddar is delicious with apple pie.

Why Cheddar Cheese and Apple Pie Go Together So Well

Some people swear by combining apple pie with cheddar cheese, while others find the sweet and salty combination strange. So how did the tradition start?

Like that? Fuck no OP, how mental are?!

But cheese in an apple pie, as some sort of apple cheesecake pie? Sure. There's a shop that sells a variety of pies like that near me. That said, I don't rate it highly; just a plain apple pie or cheesecake is better.

Yeah, pork and apple (sauce) is a classic.

That toastie is not the abomination OP's photo shows. It's not an apple pie with shitty American sliced 'cheddar' dumped on top of it.

I love how OP chose literally the worst photo possible to represent this idea.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

This was on the morning radio show I listened to this morning. I would never put that shit on my pie. Now cinnamon ice cream on warm apple pie is amazing.

That may or may not have been intentional

Cool for vegetarians? Thank?

jshackles you need to work on your thread making skills.

 

[Fermbiz]

Looking at that picture of apple pie with cheese melted all over it gave me constipation

[scoobidoo112]

 

[SpiceRacz]

Nope. I only know this exists from Taxi Driver. Travis orders it in this scene.

 

[Rest]

Nope.

My understanding is that this was started to make the top crust cook right in the days of more primitive cooking; the cheese was originally in the pie, between the apples and the top crust.

If we get 250 votes on the poll, jshackles has agreed to livestream himself eating an extra large apple pie with 64 slices of American cheese.

 

[BossLackey]

No, but I've always wanted to try it.

 

[TheDreadBaron]

I worked with a Chinese woman who was fairly grossed out by cheese. She commented that Americans put cheese on everything. My first reaction in my head was like yeah, because that’s just the cheese element of the meal, or cheese food group requirement if you will. It was then I realized I was raised in a cheese cult. Love me some cheese!

 

[dr_octagon]

 

[jshackles]

Wait, how did you access my livestream early?

 

[SJRB]

According to the poll there are at least 5 swines among us.

 

[jshackles]

A loose interpretation of apple pie, but still good:

 

[Kacho]

this thread needs to be nuked

wtf?

 

[belmarduk]

No, and I don't put caramel on cheese curds either. Don't you people worry about diabeetus?

 

[lachesis]

I would put cold mascapone or maybe even some whipped cream cheese.. but cheddar just feels wrong.

 

[StormCell]

I do not.

There are many things I do, though, OP. I eat french fries with mayonnaise. I eat scrambled eggs with ketchup. I put applesauce on fried salmon patties. I like to slather melted cheese over microwave burritos.

But cheese on an apple pie? No thanks. Whipped cream and vanilla ice cream will do.

 

[Ailynn]

 

[IntentionalPun]

I prefer pie cold, and not particularly sweet in the first place..

Never tried cheddar on an apple pie, but if it would probably work with the saccharine sweet pies most people make/sell.

 

[Woggleman]

More a fan of cherry pie and it only needs a bit of whipped cream. Ice cream can be good as well.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

It’s pretty good. Most good foods remain good when combined. I know people don’t like to hear that, but it’s true.

The easiest response to that is to say rice is overrated. Ticks them of 99% of the time.

Bonus points if you say rice is bad.

If you notice cheese is almost never used in Asian cooking so it is not a part of Chinese culture or almost any Asian culture so I get it.

Well yeah, many of them are lactose intolerant.

Nor the strongest drinkers, but that hasn't stopped them. I guess the allure of alcohol is much stronger than dairy.

I still stand by my stance thatany Asians overrate rice to an extreme. Worse than Italians and pasta, or 'Westerners' with potatoes or bread.

Good fried rice is delicious though.
