Melted Foodstuff Poll

There seemed to be some suggestion by the pinefox that ILX now shies away from the big issues, refrains from proper argument, merely exchanges one-liners about random trivia. Let's prove him wrong, people!

Oooo it's a tossup between butter and cheese. (Stomach not so keen on the sweets.)

Melted cheese, it is hardly a fair fight, so mcuh diversity in melted cheese, rclette, fondue, upon a crumpet, grilled cheese, welsh rarebit, on an onion soup...

Cheese > butter > chocolate

xpost Me too. Popcorn, lobster, and artichokes? Or grilled cheese, all manner of baked pasta dishes, and fondue?

Cheese for sure.

melted butter + melted cheese, discuss

I would say cheese. I don't really melt butter anymore. Melted chocolate is wrong, brings back memories of buying a Mars Bar after school on a hot day.

But, jel, what about ganaches and such?

I've started making (real) popcorn at home recently, and now have it as a late-night snack like 3 times a week. Makes a strong fucking case for melted butter.

Yeah! I'm not a sweet person either, but I'm surprised at the lack of love for melted chocolate.

melt cheese on your popcorn next time. Controlled experiment.

I haven't tried it, but some people do talk about grated parmesan on popcorn as a godsend.

Still, though: melted butter.

Orville Rodenbacher never made it so good.

it suddenly occured to me that melted butter has the advantage of being a possible medium for thc. I may have to change my vote.

Melted cheese works too, as does chocolate, it dissolves in fats.

Aha! Drama! xpost Damn!

It's very hard to melt cheese on toast without a proper gas grill. Electric ovens are rubbish :(

Broiler, dude. Or just make a real grilled cheese, with butter (uh-oh) in a pan on the stove.

> Electric ovens are rubbish

Truth MOAB

Utah?

mutha of all bombza

AH, yes I see.

Still, though: melted butter.

See, my first instinct is cheese, but then I think this^^^ to myself.

A French pothead friend of mine used to have Sunday b'fast/brunch parties with pastries, baguette tartines, coffee and hot milk, preserves, yoghurt or fromage blanc, fruit, etc., - real run-of-the-mill French b'fast stuff only he'd make really potent butter and I sometimes found myself on his couch in the early afternoon reading comics and incapable of intelligble speech in any language whatsoever amidst a throng of gabbing or giggling French expats.

haha wow!

Fuck a 'chocolate fountain,' how can I get a cheese fountain at my wedding?

Cheese, no contest.

I suppose that melted cheese and melted chocolate do have the advantage of being so good as to inspire people to come up with ways to eat them as things in themselves (i.e., fondue and (ahem) chocolate fondue).

Although maybe you could make the argument that melted butter is sooooo good that trying such an experiment with it would be so intense that it would kill people.

jaymc, is right, though. As much fun as a really good butter is melted onto a perfect toast or an exquisite chocolate melted over a good dessert, the mere range of different kinds of melted cheese from hard or semi-hard cheeses(parmesan, cheddar, gryuere, etc...) to triple creams (not my bag, really, but some people love it) to all the different goat cheeses (when you get a large round of chabichou, baked so that it's runny inside but has a gratin crust on top, over a slice of toast on aperfectly dressed salad of frisée), there's really no comparison.

No half-melted ice cream, no credibility.

grilled cheese sandwiches aren't actually that great UNLESS the bread is toasted w/melted butter.

I dunno, I DIED, I sometimes rub the skillet with sliced shallot or garlic and make them with olive oil and that can be pretty tasty, too. Or, say, walnut levain bread filled with shaved mimolette and thin sliced roma tomatoes and grilled in walnut oil.

Who, me? Fuck yeah! I'm all about the fancy cheese.

Haha, sorry.

For me, summer is all about cheap wine + fancy cheese.

Pretty much, yup.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I wd totally love a cheese fountain at a wedding or party.

In fact I love the idea of having a gigantic fondue pot the size of a stockpot, surrounded by bread and vegetables and such.

So hungry.

PS cheese.

wtf you are all crazy

I voted butter (twice).

I actually dont really like chocolate there I said it.

I can't think of anything that could be viler than a chocolate fountain.

OH WAIT, HOW ABOUT A CHEESE FOUNTAIN???????? ugh digusting germ piles, all of you

Hahah yeah ok I admit I was thinking to myself "ew this wouldn't end well".

Wait, how about a raw egg fountain?

Cheese!

mayo fountain would make me cry, and then die, and then my corpse would cry

A mayo fountain would be great if you had a wheelbarrow full of boiled artichokes and a pound of garlic powder.

And a heart surgeon on call.

butter.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
