is there even a remote chance of denaffifying cheese and pineapple?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

DD3 has requested these for a family event on Saturday.

I am far too much of a snob progressive to put them on cocktail sticks.

Anyone with a funky way of doing it?

I think you all ought to revisit this site for a retro-fest

Just mutter to a few guests "Cheese and pineapple in a tin foil hedgehog is the new black"

Guaranteed they will all be eaten and next party you go to will have one

Embrace it. Put them on sticks in a grapefruit. It will make you smile.

BALD-that website is hilarious...jellied tomato refresher, oh my god

You have to go the whole (hedge) hog and do it properly. I always do some for parties but usually use half a melon cos it's all we have kicking about.
DH and I went to a very high brow wedding party last year, it cost an eyewatering amount; the groom said "I had a say in two things for today, the size of my shoes and the cheese and pineapple on the buffet" :o bless him.

Bald - I'd never have thought food could be so funny (and a bit scary).

The celery log and the blood bath chicken!

that liver pate en masque is the stuff of nightmares, truly

It's not naff. it's RETRO, therefore extremely fashionable.

And it's a spud for the hedgehog, surely, not a grapefruit?

We had a boxing day party and put the leftover sprouts on sticks a la hedgehog , everyone (well someone) loved them!!

We had them on Royal Wedding day. Even had them as a seperated course!!! Ours were stuck into a foil covered potato. Tasty and classy :)

Those weight watchers cards are great-really mackerelly!!

Foil covered potato? Ok now I see the point of the foil.

Who'd have thought so many things could be jellied?
The frankfurter tower thing is genius.

How old is DD3? If she 'cooks' pineapple and cheese on cocktail sticks with your help all by herself, you will be seen as the best mum in the world, she will be a culinary genius who understands faff (not naff) and your guests will have the pleasure of enjoying one of the yummiest food combinations in the history of food. Everybody wins

I personally see nothing wrong with the naffness. Food is overcomplicated these days!!
However, circles of fresh pineapple with goats cheese sprinkled over, on a big plate, and if you like some mint scattered on top, is a tasty alternative!

Um, you could get really fancy unpasteurised cheddar, and do some sort of pineappley purée/dip thing and serve on a posh slate or some such?

I'd not bother though, just go for the orange cheddar and tinned pino in half a grapefruit.

Or, or just serve chicken in a can next to it, and then your cheesy hedgehog will seem like gourmet food in comparison.

I knew this would be YOU!!

Just do it 70's style and put a BIG note beside them 'DD made me do it!!'

Nah - just do it, everyone loves it really!!

I made one for DD and I the other week, like Nanny Pat's cheesey hedgehog.
I ate the cheese, DD ate the pineapple.

How the tippetyflip Chippy?

Urgh at pineapple with cheese. I have never liked that combo.

But yes - you cannot improve on a foil covered spud with these things sticking out. As long as you are not serving mushroom vol au vents and Big Posh Praaaahns a la Katona alongside people will get the irony.

Just embrace the kitchness of it!! Is my all time favourite party food.

Nutty

Where the fuckity fuck did you get spud from woman? it's a grapefruit, that's what makes it exotic!

Now get in the kitchen and make me some of those orange cup cakes! As we are having party food!

Honey, We were poor! Where the fuck do you think we could get a grapefruit from in rural West Wales when I was a small child. I don't think I even saw one until I was about 13 and they were bloody expensive!
