Apple/Cheddar Pie
I have never understood the attraction to a slice of apple pie topped
with a slice of cheddar. Where and HOW did that food custom start? I have lived in the north and now the south but never see anyone serving apple pie this way. |

I've eaten it on rare occasion at home but not out as I never see it sold or served that way but in homes. |

A slice of apple pie with a chunk of sharp cheddar was de rigueur when I was growing up. It's delicious! Such a complimentary contrast of flavors... yum! |

You're talking to a guy who always has exactly the same menu for every holiday. He's not much for branching out. If Billy's mother never paired apple pie and cheddar, the combination is strange and frightening to him. Bob |

What I can't understand is the slices of processed cheese I have seen on apple pie. Yech. Apple and cheddar is a good combination. Pear and blue cheese is an even better one. |

I've been offered the combination in restaurants in New England and Yorkshire, England and I agree that it is good! -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

Pies were/are commonly served for breakfast. And the combination is often found on restaurant dessert menus around here. Especially during "leaf peeper"season! |
