What happens if you toast parmesan?

i wasn't entirely joking either !

No - I didn't think you were.

Well, on the 'best cheese to accompany French onion soup that isn't gruyere because I can't be bothered to go out of my way to go to a supermarket front' I have tried cheap cheddar from the corner shop. It was perfectly acceptable. Next up is Babybel. I shunned Edam and Leerdammer because they were dearer, although I suspect they are closer to gruyere. The search continues.

maybe one for the middle classes: household hint 144-

Don't waste money on expensive foreign Parmesan; buy Cheddar instead, but unwrap it and keep it for a month or two and it turns into perfeclty satisfactory Parmesan

Hang about.....doesn't it start growing a grey/blue mould as well?

not so much if it's dry. You can scrape any mould off in the normal way in any case

The rest of the cheese is okay - and I am quite blase about cheese after trying worm cheese in Corsica.

I toasted some parmesan earlier.

Nothing.

You mean it disappeared?

Parmesan is best eaten toasted.

I crack open a bottle of bubbly, toast the parmesan, and then........

.........................I can't remember much after that, but I can remember it being a good evening.

[QUOTE 4155995, member: 259"]You can get special middle class cheddar made with raw milk. [/QUOTE]


I think the point was to not be middle class poncy ! that would defeat the object.
