To ask you to eat cheese with jam?

[AdaHopper]

I love a sandwich with cheese and jam, preferrably strawberry jam, but other flavours are nice too.

Who is up for trying it an telling me if I am really weird or you like it too?

Also, what other weird food combinations are nice and should be tried?

Cheese and jam is good, as long as it's either a crumbly white (eg wenslydale) or a very strong cheddar. The cheese needs to be tangy.

Also good:
Cheese with fruitcake (almost any cheese)
Cheese on toast with a little crunchy peanut butter under the cheese (must be crunchy pb)
Pop the lid off a warmed mince pie, slip in a small piece of crumbly cheese (here comes the Wensleydale again, or white Stilton), lid back on, and nom.

Cheese with pretty much anything vegetarian!

And crunchy peanut butter (must be crunchy) goes with pretty much anything, too. Except celery. I don't get the vibe from PB&C.

Also try hummus with cold sliced meats.

And bresaola wrapped around mini cucumbers.

Cheese with honey, especially something like a baked camembert

Wensleydale on wholemeal bread with either apple or marmalade is delicious.
And Wensleydale on Yorkshire brack, or with a slice of Dundee cake, likewise.
I prefer all other cheeses on their own, but that combo just works so well.

YANBU
my first reaction to this when my housemate suggested it when I was a student 15yrs ago was something that should not be repeated 🤬🤬🤬 I was disgusted!
But OMG - I was so wrong..... love it 🙌🏻🙌🏻😍

Cheese and chocolate spread is lovely - I wouldn't have it in a sandwich but on crackers.

I think it's Philadelphia (sp) that have a chocolate/cheese spread which is very nice (or they used to anyway).

Cheese and chilli jam is amazing!! Better on crackers, but still very good in a sandwich too.

Raspberry jam and cheddar cheese are great together!

Also, as a PP said, Wensleydale cheese with Christmas cake is amazing!

I love it .. going to show my age here 😂

Many years ago Kwiksave used to sell a jar of apple and strawberry jam for about 30p

It was heavenly with cheese on a nice sandwich
Never found apple and strawberry again

Works on crackers as well. It's a usual combination for us.

You have brie and cranberry jam, or Camembert and cranberry. Of course cheddar and strawberry jam is lovely.

Although I don't think I could have it grated. Has to be sliced.

No!!!!!

But a taste sensation is crumpet, butter, marmite, Philly cheese.. the mix of rich, salty, cold and hot is an epic. If I was having it on toast I might add cherry tomatoes.

I didnt realise people actually did that. Absolutely vile.

Oh it never occurred to me to put jam on a cheese scone until now I'm going to try it later

My dad used to make me a buttered digestive biscuit with a slice of cheese and a blob of jam on as a snack when I was little. He also gave me strawberry and cream cheese toasties.

OP I can understand the appeal of cheese and jam, i dont know if I would try it.
I do like pineapple on pizza very occasionally so I guess that is fruit and cheese, so I may like it.

Yes to cheese and jam.

Also try crisp apples dipped in humous.
Apples spread with crunchy peanut butter.

And peanut butter on porridge. Even better with a few raspberries or blueberries.

When I was growing up we were poor (scrape the mould off the bread before you toast it poor)⁹. A staple Sunday night tea was a cheese and jam sandwich. One push over the grater for the cheese and a smear of "mixed fruit" jam.

So no, won't be returning to those days if I can avoid them.

May I counter your AIBU with asking whether you've tried Brie and lemon curd? It's like eating a cheesecake..

I love a bit of cheese and jam on a croissant

Sweet and savoury is a winning combination, I often have cheese with jam (fig jam or gooseberry jam is best IMO).

My ex college sat there eating a cheese and jam sandwich last year. I was almost barfing at the thought.

Anyway, I got home and told DH. He was intrigued. And my colleague was well known for being THE best guy, most well rounded, intelligent, cheeky and reliable person I've ever worked with.

So, I decided if he liked it then maybe it'll be a good one. Tried it and tasted just like Wensleydale and Cranberry cheese.

Or like cheddar with a sweet chilli onion style chutney.

Wasn't bad at all. :)

Ooh mixed fruit jam! That takes me back. Can you still get that?

My dad was Scottish. Its delicious. He used to call it a "jelly piece"

Stilton glued to a cracker with chilli jam is delicious.
