Acceptable - sprinkled on the top of a salad
depends on the particulars
I'd probably want my parmesan "shaved", and obviously if we're talking feta on a greek salad, well nobody's would ever try to grate feta.
Actually I'm struggling to think when this would be acceptable.
I think Kitchmo's paid one to many visits to the Harvester salad cart
too
you stinking piece of shit
You've never put mozzarella in a salad?
Yes
but I have never grated it
You should try it
live a little.
Why the fuck not.
Screw you, Smee.
Oh sorry guys I didn't realise you were the kind of detritus
that would eat mozzarella it was possible to grate. Get out of my thread.
Huh? think you need a better cheese grater son
and some motor skills in your hands. We can't be held responsible for your deficiencies.
^this to the OP
Acceptable: make your own
Unacceptable: buying
yep.
never actually bought pre-grated cheese but you just know it's gonna be a little bit stale.
in b4 forza comes in and defends honest, workingmans pre-grated cheese.
Why would you grate your own when you can get a professional to do it for you?
nobody's ever done this
because the pre-grated stuff is coated in heaps of preservative/ non-stick stuff, and is so so bad for you
If you don;t believe me, take a block of cheddar, grate it, and put the grated cheese in a bag, close/ seal it and put in the fridge. Come back 20 mins later and it will be all stuck together. Yet,m that pre-grated stuff you see in tesco NEVER sticks together. It's like magic.
...
Read the thread woman!
I don't understand anything any more
I'm off to bounce the jewish thread.
Alright, Alex James
Using it to kill a series of prostitutes. Totally unacceptable.
Don't be that guy.
All of those are perfectly acceptable.
The only unacceptable use for it is on a cheeseboard.
Or for non-cheese related activities. Such as using grated cheese as a substitute for dishwasher salt, for instance.
in a sandwich? why would you do this? absolutely not having it you total sicko
Because it's perfectly acceptable.
Inferior, but perfectly acceptable.
It's pretty good if you're trying to lose weight by eating less cheese. Grated cheese covers more distance and, therefore, means you don't need to put as much on.
OK we're quibbling over the definition of acceptable.
Fair enough if you're trying to de-chub I guess.
The grated cheese diet.
IMAGINE THAT.
Not inferior at all
Far more pleasant way to eat cheddar sandwiches in particular.
I hate having slices, too dense for a sandwich.
I'd also use grated if I was making someone cheese on toast, melts faster.
Obviously I wouldn't be making it for myself as cheese on toast is bowfing.
Heresy!
totally not this
sliced cheddar in a sarnie/ ploughmans
easier to consume
i don't find it hard
to eat cheese that is not grated.
A lot of shop bought sandwiches come with grated
I wouldn't make it myself but it's totally fine.
:D
I'm enjoying the mental image of grated cheese on a cheeseboard.
My dad went round to a work colleague's house for dinner once.
It was the 80's. He worked in a building society. This bloke had pretentious ideas above his station like all young professionals in those days...
Anyway, just when my old man thought everything had gone rather well, said colleague brought out the after-dinner cheeseboard. Would've been acceptable, he said, had it not had triangles of Dairylea on it.
Grated Smeese
I've laughed out loud at this about 3 times
I think there's something seriously wrong with me
NO, I did this too.
I want to add jacket potatoes and soup to the acceptable list
Tomato-based soup though, obviously.
Definitely with you on the jacket potatoes. Jacket potatoes are almost pointless without it.
Not sure on the soup. I'll have to consult with the 4th official.
Hi, sorry, only just got the message
Yeah, cheese in tomato (and other) soup is great, never done it with grated but I imagine it's alright (if inferior), I'm gonna 'low this.
Acceptable (nay, essential!): on chips
nope sorry, but no.
What are you talking about?
Chips and cheese is amazing (not on chip shop chips though - chips from an.Indian takeaway or something).
it's not my bag baby.
you want to have light crisp crunch to your chips, not gooey rubbery melted cheese.
You're undermining every good point you've made in this thread.
That's what you're doing here.
Don't be sorry
This man is quite mad
cheesy chips are ace
in a pub
with a pint
grated cheese is great in sandwiches.
unless of course you're talking about the pre-grated stuff?
no that's not going to stand.
we need to have a sandwich off. same ingredients (you can even choose them) and we'll do a pepsi challenge.
is this just us eating sandwiches?
if so, i'm up for it.
Smeeting Danwiches
Shut up deadonthestairs
:D
Who would go out for a cheese sandwich??
[REFERENCE]
French Onion Soup
Baked Beans
Not specific enough
def baked beans, good shout.
jury's still out on soup. I don't like french onion soup (or tomato that much) so I can't really call.
I don't know how specific we are allowed to get here?
Grated on to the crouton that sits atop french onion soup.
I dunno, if you want to appoint yourself Soup judge that's OK with me.
It isn't ideal in sandwiches
but it does stretch a small amount of cheese into a larger amount. You can always make sure it stays in with plenty of butter or mayo and kind of press it down almost into a patty.
the thing is
it doesn't stretch it out. you're eating exactly the same amount of cheese. there are no other factors to take into consideration.
unacceptable:
used as paperweight
acceptable:
thrown into eyes of your enemies
:D
unacceptable: on a cracker
for practical reasons
it would actually be pretty practical on a cracker no?
still wouldn't do it though, way to ruin elevenses.
it would fall off
you don't get sliced cheese falling off a cracker
no but you do get bits of cracker falling off don't you (aside)
three times this week deadonthestairs has made the pun i came into a thread to make
i'll say it anyway;
GRATED SMEESE!
I'm calling you out on this Smee!
Grated cheese and pickle is superior to sliced cheese and pickle in a sandwich. That is actually the truth, as the pickle intermigles lovingly with the cheese. Also, if making a cheese savoury with grated cheese, onion and mayo mixed up which is entirely delicious.
Also, stirred into scrambled egg to make cheesy scrambled egg. Slices are too chunky.
(i love slices of cheese too)
I just can't accept this.
For me the joy of eating a cheese sandwich is totally dependent on the texture of a nice chunk of cheese with a big flavoursome hit of cheesiness. Grated - bad texture, diminished taste. Grated cheese sandwiches are to made with sliced white bread and served to fussy 7 year olds.
Don't know what a cheese savoury is.
Re egg, I wouldn't do it, but I can see the attraction and if we're talking purely grated vs non-grated then there's no argument.
Cheese savoury is cheese, mayo and onion mixed together.
Sure you can experiment outwith, but them is the basics.
Looks a bit like coleslaw.
I always put gratedcheese into scrambled eggs,
and I have a (very) tiny reputation for competence in that area. Then the other day I ran out of cheese. Turns out, I don't really like eggs. :'(
grated cheese
in sandwiches.. is nice - larger surface area = more flavour
on cheese on toast.. is nice - melts better
Unacceptable on a pizza
If your cheese is even gratable at all, it has no place there
eh?
If we're ever on the same episode
of Come Dine With Me and you serve pizza with grated cheese on, I'd knock a good 2 or 3 points off my score
every pizza Ive ever eaten
has been made with grated cheese...
you dont just whack a fucking block on do you?
Sliced mozzarella is clearly where it's at
Though I do like the idea of just sticking a block of Cathedral City in the middle and seeing what happens
Id have the sliced mozzarella on top of the grated cheese
but you're saying that on a pizz uyou wouldnt have grated cheese... what about takeaway pizzas? almost exclusively grated cheese..
pizz u, mother fucker
There's a couple of decent pizza delivery places round my way
that don't use grated, so I normally use them.
The ones that use grated also tend to be really doughy, which is even more of a reason to avoid them, but I probably shouldn't get onto that...
Jesus Wept.
*Cheeses Wept
cheddar on a pizza
would be disgusting
urghhh
on top of fajitas (fahitas)
or nachos (nachos)
good shout
Fajitas? Nonsense!
Enchiladas: naturally!
Acceptable on a chilli
possibly even compulsory
Brusma to thread
the pre-grated packs of cheese go off really quickly, within a few days once opened
a friend.....told me........
wow that is some pretty strong shame for a packet of cheese my friend
same again - more surface area!!!!
I KNOW ALL
Unacceptable:
eaten straight from a pre-grated pack while walking round toen
I'd say this was the only time that pre grated is acceptable tbh.
i'd say it's the final nail in the pre-grated coffin
You wouldn't be able to effectively bang nails into a grated coffin
aw man can we do this for the swans gig?
just stand at the front with a bag of grated cheese, staring at the band.
hahahaha
yes
unacceptable: on stuffee
Tell me what stuffee is.
Tell me now.
:D
can you set cheese on fire?
like, poke a hole in it, or use swiss cheese and put a stick in it and spin the stick to create heat?
yes
and because of the oil/fat it burns well
what the fuck are you talking about you loon? :D
just thinking about that fire triangle and how it applies to cheese
right.
what?
There's Camembert around
She's something to do
Obscure
I like it
acceptable: in a diy snowglobe / homemade confetti / cheap artex substitute
unacceptable: as a weapon / bedding for small pets / as chalk before a clean and jerk
Reading this thread is making me want lots of cheese.
All the cheese. Grated or not.
I just ate two cheese and cucumber sandwiches in a row
Cheese and cucumber is one of the best sandwiches ever.
I really want a cheese and cucumber sandwich.
sorry I've got none left
Grated cheese tastes BETTER in sandwiches
It was on QI. Seriously.
Guess what I had for lunch today? Grated cheese and mango chutney. Suck it up non-grating bitches.
it has more surface area. is that why?
oh yeah I remember seeing that and being incensed at the time.
Excuse while I go and unfollow Stephen Fry on twitter
heating the sarnie in the microwave for 20 seconds on high
(750 watts)
makes a cheese sarie taste better
warm cheese that's slightly sweaty with a good creamy texture
slightly salty taste
fucking hell
Theo, shut this thread down, it was irresponsible of me to make it in the first place
try it!
i don't mean slightly salty taste, i was getting carried away
i meant cheese that has bite. good strong cheese
that you can feel on the roof of your mouth
acceptable use
grate it, then eat it all up before you get chance to put it with anything
Grated cheese in a sandwich is a good cost cutter
you don't need THAT much cheese in a sandwich and often eating sliced cheese that isn't wafer thin in a sarnie leads to me feeling bloated. Grated cheese is acceptable if it's going to be mixed into something such as Onion and Mayo.
jfc guys
can't believe the amount of people who think grating cheese = making more cheese.
nobody thinks that
<remembers who your brother is>
as you were.
everyone
grated cheese has mroe surface area - that sort of axplains it
christ.
you people astound me on a daily basis. 130 odd replies on grated cheese?
I think about a third of those are me tbh
didn't you used to make a million inane threads a day
before you adopted your current 'miserable shit' persona?
I've known him all my life and there is nothing new about that persona
(not the shit bit though x)
i've always been a miserable shit mate.
every one a gem
You better not have killed my thread
It was a natural double tonner
I'm going to try to grate a cheese that doesn't grate very well onto my enchillas tonight
just one of the many dangerous techniques i've included in my every day life.
cheshire
that crumbly fucker HATES to be grated. doesn't cooperate at all.
yeah i gave up trying to live that dangerously many moons ago
i reserve my cheshire eating for sliced or chopped feasts. this is one of those chilli cheese
and yet, it is essentially self-grating.
cheese philosophy.
Read that as chinchillas.
They're moody little cunts as it is, mate. Wouldn't do anything to wind them up even more.
fix
Fuck, I missed a killer thread thanks to a meeting :(
This is just the beginning Ant!
Simple answer:
Always acceptable when it is melted (special mention: on shepherds pie - awesome)
Rarely acceptable when not melted: sandwiches, on crackers
This is almost perfect
I like the simplicity, but I'm finding the cheese on toast thing a sticking point.
Bags of pre-grated cheese.
Thats bags of cheese thats already been grated. Not cheese that was once grated.
There is no such thing as unacceptable cheese
The End.
nob cheese
exception to the rule
I'm kind of amazed as to how big this thread is. But to wade into the grated cheese in sandwhich debate
it's actually the preferable way as get more flavour from the cheese. Something to with more surface area or something, one of the science nerds can explain.
You shouldn't knock it until you try it.
(Right I'm off back to the gay Uganda thread with exactly that same advice)
Stick a load on spaghetti on toast
You'll never look back.
Cheshire has absolutely no taste
Well the supermarket stuff doesn't, that's for sure.
It's marketed as Chester cheese in Germany, incidentally, which is probably the most pointless piece of trivia I'll ever post on here.
I lived there and can confirm this
Everyone wears those jeans with elasticated cuffs
It is unacceptable to use grated cheese as a lubricant
http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/social/4420009#r7158039
cheeses it's acceptable to grate:
cheddar
....
cheeses it unacceptable to grate:
most others
add parmesan to the acceptable list
surely
a blend of cheddar, red leicester & farmhouse lancashire
for toppings to a jacket potato is pretty hard to beat
never had a nice bit of red leicester either way
That's not like you, pal.
