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.

Once they sold some primula cheese spread, the local paramedics had to ask them to stop.

You can put anything you like on top of your risotto - you're the one who has to eat it; you decide what you put on it.

I imagine that mini-babybels could cause a certain amount of bafflement.

Maybe they have had some bad experences in the past which no-one in the village talks about...

Hide a cheeseboard under a voluminous hat and then doff your hat to all the locals you meet. That would cause quite a stir!

Talk frequently about the village where they roll cheeses down the hill every year.

Make a huge cheese pineapple hedgehog with variety of stinky cheeses and place it in prominent position in the village square...

No go on really would you plant some cheese in the shop? That would be hilarious!!!

Probably wouldn't really do it - am a lot braver on here (and possibly a little more amusing) than I am in rl.

Oh...

But you would do the giant hedgehog idea I imagine, that is much easier and saner?

(Go on pretend you will then i can roffle!!!)

It's all gone now. Was tasty, but I got impatient and took it out too soon. Should have grilled til it was brown on top, so the cheese would't mix into the rice so much.

Can you do cheese hegdehog with stinky cheese? I thought you needed realy rubbery cheese (proper 'value' cheddar) otherwise it falls off the sticks.

of course I would do the hedgehog idea, that's fairly tame...but infiltrating the shop?

I have no idea whether stinky cheese is suitable for hedgehog. Luckily onepieceoflollipop is going to make a giant hedgehog with stinky cheese and plant it in a village square, and I'm sure she'll be happy to report back how the stinky cheese fared.

Trillian I would have a jolly good try - would freeze it first as it would hold together better I imagine.

No, seriously, Chukky and I were (I think) keeping the thread going as a special favour to you while you and your dp enjoyed your supper.

Thank you for a most enjoyable thread, it was interesting to start with and then I shared a small chuckle with Chukkly.

That's the attitude onepiece - impressed with the lateral thinking and problem solving approach. Have you considered a career in the royal marines? The ads say they are looking for people with those sort of skills.

Trillian I am concerned your cheese feast wasn't all you had hoped for - do you have any red cheese lying around to nibble on?

Thank yuo all for participating in my madness. As you can see I have no real crises in my life, just wanted to chat to some lovely mad MNers about somehting trivial.

Oooh, look, my first successful crossing-out of words.

I might get out the parmesan and the potato peeler if I feel the need for more cheese later...

Lie on the ground and get anyone passing to just scrape it directly into your mouth...

I have a great career as a mental health nurse Chukkles. (ooh sorry if that is a little over familiar). Honestly, maybe that explains a little about the state of the NHS!

Yes, I do often utilise lateral thinking and problem solving. In my spare time I come on here and talk utter tosh to lovely random strangers much like yourself!

No, value cheddar is for hedgehogs cos of the rubberiness.

Cathedral City for my risotto [posh], it was BOGOF in Sainsburys.

Feel like I have been chucked under the chin! Was nice but a little tickly...

Mild value cheddar or tasty value cheddar? Think trillian it's important...

Obviously my friend would say value red.

Value tasty is good because it, well, it tastes of somethign. Value mild probably isn't even really cheese.

nah, I'm off duty til Monday and am off to bed soon. Chatting about cheese for half the evening whilst calling oneself a name ending with lollipop is fairly normal imo!

Value mild is, in fact, the same substance as they make pencil erasers out of.

I kid you not.

Value mild also sounds like a brand of tobacco. Or beer. Something that would be consumed by an elderly man in a pub anyway.

Anyways I have to go to bed now. I am PG and have been in a foul knackered mood all day and this thread has been the best bit! I meant to go to bed at 7 so will go now and leave you quality cheese lovers to it.
