Ch�colate & I
CHEESE
f you are one of those lucky people who ‘prefer cheese’, you probably won’t have much sympathy for the sugar addicts around you. Not that the two camps are at war or anything but there are a few key differences that set them apart. You see, sugarholics - almost synonymous with chocoholics (have you ever met a sugarholic who doesn’t like chocolate?), claim to be born that way. “I’ve had a sweet tooth as long as I can remember!” they often say, thinking of whatever finger-licking pot of gooey, chocolatey loveliness had started the love affair. Cheese lovers, on the other hand, tell you that you can learn to love cheese. My sisterin-law who is a true cheese connoisseur even promised me that if I’d started eating cheese, it would eventually ‘cure’ my sweet tooth. Well, what can I tell you, I launched into my new cheese eating campaign with enthusiasm, only to find myself liking cheese as had been promised, but guess what? I still have an incorrigible sweet tooth. Whatever taste buds were meant to be re-educated by the new onslaught of salty, creamy flavours, remained stubbornly in favour of sweetness. So although I still identify as a sweet tooth owner, chocoholic and sugar addict, now I also like cheese and eat it with a gusto, where before I had the same attitude to the white
18
stuff as cheese lovers have to sweets: take it or leave it. The experiment has failed. And just in case you think this is a one off case, the experiment was repeated in the scientific conditions of our household on my other half, who - you’ve guessed it, is also a chocoholic. The result was the same. Having evolved from the days of mild cheddar and the gentle, nutty flavours of emmental, we find ourselves in the supermarket cheese counter pondering whether we should go for mature or extra mature cheddar for the broccoli and cheese soup. Just to make sure we buy both, and then some more, so if you opened our fridge, you’d think two cheese lovers live here. You see, there is white Stilton, French goat cheese, a slice of Brie, even a few packages with names I cannot even pronounce, let alone know what they mean. No spaghetti Bolognese is complete without a generous topping of Parmigiano Reggiano; we always have a good laugh trying it on with the Italian accent. But has eating cheese cured us of the sweet tooth? No. At the end of the supermarket trip we head towards the dessert counter to keep the peace between the two warring sets of taste buds. “A little bit of something you fancy is good for you, right?” my other half says, holding on tight to his chosen cheesecake.
