Blue Cheese
I remember the first time I tasted blue cheese.
It was at RocoMamas. I had bought wings, and they asked if I wanted this other sauce — I don't even remember the name — and blue cheese. Obviously, I chose blue cheese.
And OH. MY. GOODNESS.
The combination of the chicken, the barbecue sauce and the blue cheese sauce??? It blew my mind away.
I genuinely wasn't expecting it. I had tasted blue cheese before, obviously I knew what it was, but I had never really understood the hype around it. Until that day.
Now, even thinking about that combination makes me salivate. 😂 There was just something about the salty, creamy, slightly funky taste of the blue cheese with the chicken and the sweetness of the barbecue sauce. MAGIC.
And from that day, I think I became obsessed.
Lately, I've been trying blue cheese on EVERYTHING.
Sandwiches? Yes.
Pasta? Absolutely.
Egg salad? Don't knock it until you've tried it.
Anything creamy? Throw some blue cheese in there and let's see what happens. 😂
And the crazy thing is... IT WORKS.
I don't know what kind of magic blue cheese carries, but somehow it manages to make creamy things even creamier and gives them this sharp little kick that makes you go, hmmmm, okay, what's happening here?
I've reached the point where I see a creamy dish and immediately start wondering whether blue cheese would work in it.
And most of the time, my answer is yes.
So yeah.
Blue cheese is officially my obsession.
I don't want to hear that it smells weird.
I don't want to hear that it looks funny.
I don't want to hear that you tried it once and hated it.
Give me my blue cheese and leave me alone. 😂
Blue cheese all the way!
Now I need to know — what's that one food you're completely obsessed with that you could put on almost EVERYTHING?
