How can you survive with no cheese in the house?? I'd probably starve to death. (*is making a garlic and black pepper cheese sauce to put over roast beef and mashed potatoes*)
I was surprised at how much I actually did enjoy Stilton, though, because until I went to England last year I had religiously avoided all blue cheeses. I think I only tried it because I was being all 'of course I'm manly enough to try this' in competition with Cyberquail's boyfriend, because I do have an unfortunate competitive streak sometimes. But it was good! And I can see it being good with fruit, it would stand up to it. But when I came home and bought some and ate it before bed it gave me really WEIRD dreams - I don't think I'll do that again.
I really want to try all the Wensleydales with fruits mixed in, that intrigued me, but I couldn't get anyone else to say they would help me eat it. We ate a LOT of cheese last year in Skipton, it was our fallback position for... well, most meals, whenever we didn't feel like cooking, and Wensleydale was the favorite. :)
I guess American apple pie is generally of more the French style - in fact people are proud of how big the chunks of apple can be. I haven't even cut the one I made last night to see how it cooked down, though; I purposely cut the slices a little thin, just to do something a little different than the apple crisp we've been having, lately.
