what are the tastiest fruit and cheese combos?

Cheddar and jalapeno

You and Teri Schiavo.
Oh, fruit and cheese. Not fruit and veg.
Um… pear and brie is classic

Brie and black currant jam

>>21567701 (OP)
Cheese belongs in between two slices of toasted white bread, not with fruit

>>21567701 (OP)
Fig and Swiss. Gouda and tomato. Havarti And green apples

>>21567701 (OP)
Nuts go well with every cheese, particularly blue cheese, camembert, gouda, parmiggiano reggiano, etc.

>>21567721
white trash take

>>21567701 (OP)
is cream cheese cheating?

>>21567754
I’d say no. It goes well with berries

>>21567721
*laughs in french*

>>21567777
Ah, the sweet sound of surrender

>>21567754
just eat 10% Greek yogurt. it tastes like cream cheese and comes in a big tub.

>>21567731
Nuts aren’t a fruit

>>21567869
Depends on the nut

>>21567777
I bet the french could make a mean grilled cheese.

>>21567709
this
also havarti and pears, old cheddar and apples

>>21567701 (OP)
This is disgusting I feel like puking thinking of having a cheese and fruit plate are you a woman? How many times did you whip up an actually cooked meal this month?

Pineapple and Mozzarella toasted, on top of a tomato sauce and bread.

>>21567754
cream cheese and cherry danishes are the GOAT

cheesecake with strawbree sauce :|

>>21568076
Nice. I usually like to add some ham too

>>21567701 (OP)
paneer and tomato
ricotta and lemon

>>21567938
you think you sound tough but you're just a manchild

>>21567938
60 times, bitch boy

>>21568485
No, I am just expressing my opinion. I'm not a picky eater and I do enjoy cheeses and fruit but this is just gross and something people do that fail at cooking.
>omg look at me I put feta cheese and slices of mango together so delicious and healthy mmm.
puke

>>21568516
>feta cheese and slices of mango
nobody said that. of course when you strawman the least appealing pairing possible it will sound gross, but there are plenty of cheese and fruit pairings that go great together. it's just basic charcuterie. or hell, cheesecake or danishes pair cheese with fruit and it's delicious. and what does it have to do with a "failure of cooking"? not everything you eat has to be some elaborate act of labour. you sound like an idiot.

>>21568516
feta goes with olives

>>21568516
>has a meltdown and wants to vomit because someone put cheese and fruit on a plate
>says they enjoy cheese and fruit
what kind of mental illness is this

>>21568528
No you are being overly defensive. A lot of people I know that are home cooks or heck even professional chefs hold this opinion.
>>21568559
yes
>>21568576
Sure fatty

>>21568582
>A lot of people I know

>>21568584
I am being completely honest but ok have it your way. Everyone loves shitty cheese and fruit pairings and I am being a childish contrarian kek rofl and lmao. Actually I have a rather close buddy who worked in a 2 star Michelin restaurant that agrees with me on this very subject. Of course I do not expect most of the people posting on this board to be like actual decent or knowledgeable cooks. Anyways, I asked ChatGPT if any celebrity chefs commented on fruit and cheese pairings and the first thing that came up was this:

>Celebrity chef Manu Feildel (known from My Kitchen Rules) has a notably strong stance: for him, cheese platters should contain only three things—cheese, butter, and bread.
>He even goes so far as to dismiss popular accompaniments:
>“I don’t understand fruits and cheese together.”
>“Traditionally, it’s cheese, butter and bread—and that’s it.”
>So if any chef is anti–fruit on a cheese board, it’s Manu Feildel.

Also when you go to a bar what do you get with cheese? fruit? No, you get cured meats pickled things and bread/crackers.

>>21567707
Boo

>>21568656
Aaaaah! A ghost!

>>21568653
>>21568582
>>21568516
Look at this melty lmfao

>>21568653
>i asked chatgpt to support my meltdown on 4chan
awesome

nobody said you have to like it. saying it makes you want to puke and eating it makes you a woman and you can't cook is just silly.

>>21568653
In the UK, a ploughman's lunch comes with apple

Do you know what wine is made from?

>>21568703

>>21568721

>>21567701 (OP)
Cherries

Internet hour at the retirement community?

>>21567938
Do you have that turbo’tism where if food touches on a plate it’s REEEEETIme?

>>21567701 (OP)
I had blue cheese and grapes recently and it was pretty good. I normally dont even eat blue cheese.

>>21568741
No, I just had a chicken liver sandwich, I'm not autistic about food one bit. I simply find most fruit and cheese pairings redundant and I have been served these plates one too many times at dinner parties by lazy people that suck at cooking and can't be arsed to put together any kind of decent aperitif. I honestly didn't realize this was this much of an unpopular opinion. The last one I had btw fairy recently was feta cheese with unripe pear. the cheese always overpowers the fruit with a few exceptions.

>>21567701 (OP)
Cheddar and apple.
Feta and water melons

>>21568773
>I honestly didn't realize this was this much of an unpopular opinion.
holy fuck nobody cares that you dislike it but that you're so dramatic about it

>>21568773
>I'm not autistic about food one bit.

Whatchu guys thinking of cheese and chocolate?

op didn't even say it has to be a fruit and cheese plate lol

Cheese is best on its own with nothing sullying its flavors.

I got a bottle of high quality balsamic. I’ve been enjoying it with fruit. I straight up licked the plate it was so good: watermelon, cantaloupe, oranges.

>>21568851
I'm thinking you're a genius

>>21568773
>I have been served these plates by lazy people that can't be arsed to put together any kind of decent aperitif
What exactly do you think an aperitif is?

>>21570053
A variety of small dishes that go well together and with a glass of sparkling wine. And some take quite a bit of effort to make like picrel. To be fair, I am from region where the word originates from so I do not expect EFL people to understand completely.

>>21567701 (OP)
I love fruit and I love cheese, but I could never have them together, idk why

I grew up eating apples and cheddar cheese, medium tillamook to be precise.

>>21567701 (OP)
I had apple and brie grilled cheese as finger food at a wedding and I must've eaten like 20 of them, totally dethroned the humble tomato and mozzarella for me

>>21567701 (OP)
Pineapple and cheddar rules and I have fond childhood memories of my mum giving me plates of apple and cheese to snack on. Its led to a fondness for adding slices of apple and raw onion to cheese sandwiches

>>21570224
So you have no idea what an aperitif is

brie and fig
>>21567709
this one is top tier as well

>>21570388
This is an aperitif.
A cheese and fruit plate is a cheese and fruit plate, not an aperitif.
Cheese can be served alongside other aperitifs. Maybe some fruits like grapes or lychees can also be part of the aperitif. You can serve Chips as an aperitif but Chips are by definition not an aperitif exclusive dish. Picrel is.

>>21570408
>>21570411

Completely wrong

The 80s called, they want their presentation back

>>21570473
Bruh Americans always do this type of thing like calling fondue retro and 70's. Just because you like to take European trends and then discard them after a few years doesn't mean they're "old fashioned"
>>21570446
I come from the homeland of the aperitif I know what aperitif means shut it foreigner.

>>21567701 (OP)

>>21570387
I still nag my parents to make these when I visit for Christmas. I am nearly 40.

pears, apples, cheese, jam, various cold cuts of meat, cashews/pistaschio
mmm...all good together
>tfw no gf who makes a meat/cheese/fruit board for me

>>21568313
Replace the Tomato sauce with Butter and you have Toast Hawaii
