For a long time cheese has been one of the weakness that I can never get cured of and why should I? Except curds and butter milk it is the only milk product I have. Milk is only for teas and coffees (and of course drinking chocolate…but rather than its drinking chocolate+ milk…its spoonfuls of drinking chocolate in the mouth). I have started to see a cheese slice that comes on discovery travel and living on every Sunday at 10.00 pm. It shows cheeses of different countries as well as the making process, the kind of milk used (raw or pasteurized, cow milk, buffalo milk or goat milk)…the maturing process (yes most of real cheeses do have that period). I have always loved to read about the cheeses of different countries and I had almost told my friend to get me “Chhurpi” or yak milk cheese but looks she gave me made me revoke my request (typical IT language here). Pizzas of dominos and pizza hut are hence hot favorite for me…esp. cheese burst pizza
French has been my bread and butter for a real long time as a teacher as well as translator earned me a lot in terms of experience and expertise…but one thing that fascinated me when I was studying French from first to last level was wine n fromage aka cheese. From Camembert to brie to Roquefort to abondonce to banon to Mont d’or …the list runs wow…as much as 1,000 types of cheeses in France alone. Cheese in France has evolved as a culture in form of cheeseboard for dessert or cheese with pears and wine. This is one of the reasons why I would like to travel France not for a month or two, but more than that…just to savor red/white wine along with cheese at the Eiffel tower J
The next weakness that I can’t absolutely get rid of is dark chocolate. In any form and I am captivated. Now like I like black or white…I like either dark chocolate or white chocolate no hybrid mix of milk chocolate for me. Incidentally my better (?) half always manages to get a lot of these for me. Lindt or sanfancisco local chocolates (dark) filled with mint (not that good) or flavored (lovely). Even a cake or ice-cream with dark chocolate icing (Dutch truffle) makes me savor every single morsel. I am so selfish here that even when chocolates are brought for distribution, I scrounge for dark chocolate ones and take them away …hehe…the same applies for white chocolate …
I guess it is that in me…anything fine and lovely tasting and vegetarian comes in my hit list. Though sweets with oodles of ghee and sugar give me hives …I can’t relish them when the overpowering taste of ghee and tooth paining sugar numbs the senses.
I know I don’t look as if I love eating in the first place. But perceptions can be misleading
