to put cheddar cheese on top of my risotto?

[TrillianAstra]

I know it's not traditional, but I want the feel of chewy melted cheese. There's already chorizo in the risotto so it's not exactly pure Italian to begin with.

DP won't mind - he loooves cheese. Apparently it was rationed when he was a child. By his mum, not by the government, he's not that old.

I put cheddar on if I don't have parmesan

Why would you be BU. is there an anti-cheese law I'mnot aware of.

YANBU at all. Yummy.

Parmesan is better (imo) but cheddar would be quite nice too I think. Better than no cheese.

I prefer cheddar to parmesan topping on pasta etc, nice gooey texture. Not in polite company obviously.

Ah I see it's supposed to be posh cheese lol.

It's just so... I don't know... like women cooking in the 70s who didn't really understand what the recipe was supposed to be. Like sultanas in curry.

Actually it's just cos I like AIBU best of all the topics.

I like grated cheddar/red leicester/generic mousetrap on lots of things. I don't think Jamie Oliver is capable of flying through the atmosphere like Lord Voldemort to punish you for culinary crimes, so go ahead and enjoy...

PMSL laughing at OP's DH's rationed cheese

I think I might be against cheddar cheese on risotto, but I never let an opportunity to eat parmesan pass me by so I can't conceive of using a cheese that wasn't it or maybe pecorino.

I know what you mean, parmesan is more of an accompaniment, cheddar is dinner in itself.

I don't like parmesan. Yes I know that makes me a food-chav but there we are...

Use cheddar.

p.s. cheddar is gorgeous on top of chilli or bolognese as well. yum yum. You are making me hungry, we ate earlier with the girls tonight.

I love mindless food talk. My tummy is rumbling!

Mmm. Last time I had chilli at a friend's house he had grated red cheese to go on it.

I love parmesan, and I have it in the house and everything, it's just not what I feel like, even though it's the "correct" cheese for the job.

I'm going to grill it until it goes gooey.

Loving the use of cheese which is not even named - just "red"

Where my mum lives (fairly rural) the local shop sells 2 types of cheese - mild and "tasty" no mention of anything more exotic.

It really was just red. Could have been Leicester I suppose. Or coloured cheddar. Or anything.

I will put grated cheedar on evrything
definitely put it on your rissoto

Personally I like yellow cheese. And waxed cheese.

Runny cheese is nice on toast but I can't abide veiny cheese.

Food-chav? god we really need a roll eyes emoticon.

ROFL @ choice of mild or tasty. Not even the option of a nice red cheese?

Have you eaten any yet? Shall I put some on mine?

Go for your life!

I put Lidl's Chorizo in our risotto, and we use Basmati rice.

I say anything goes

red? - no I don't think so Chukky, nothing exotic like that I am afraid.

Under the grill right now.. see you later. [yum yum emoticon]
