The cheese & me

I thought im considered a cheesy person
be it mac & cheese
or cheesy potato chips
to cheesy baked rice
I have no problem eating them
in Singapore

but the fiance "enlighten" me
that those are not consider real cheese!
okay, in his standard
or the average french standard...

Not cheese
or known as hamburger cheese:















The REAL cheese (Fromage)
which is really too strong
for my taste
and nose..
Once, fiance made a cheese dinner
and i almost fainted at the smell of it cooking in the oven!
but i came to realised that my endurance of cheese increases
after it has been cooked
and not just cold freshly cut..

















Anyway, I am really lucky 
that my future father in-law is not a great fan of cheese
dont ask me why, 
he is french but dont like cheese
so i can be pretty sure i wont be having cheese meals 
when we return for festivals or meals
at versailles

it is quite hard to avoid cheese in france
In a normal full dinner,
the meals goes like:
Appetizers - entree - Main - cheese - dessert
so there is a full slot for eating cheese!

however, i found a cheese / dish that i really liked
during Christmas
it was within the acceptable cheese range for my future father in-law too!




















Raclette Cheese & grill
i dont think is a traditional french cuisine
but we are to put the raclette cheese on the metal spade
insert it into the electric grill
and pour the melted cheese onto potatoes, ham, etcs
i can imagine the taste in my mouth now....hmmm
okay, i admit the fun element of the grill 
kept me eating and eating and eating..

a meal not good for the waistline
as usual

Bisous!


*All photos are taken from the internet 
Unlike in SIngapore
i think it will be strange / rude for me to take out my camera 
to take photos of our food in france
since meal times are consider a big deal here
but the fiance do allow me to do so
when there is only us at meals
