Serious question - think very carefully

Taking my life in my hands as this is bound to be a contentious issue and I foresee the deletions flying thick and fast…
Here goes

If you had to choose only one out of these to eat for the rest of your life - and the other never again, which would it be?

Cheese šŸ§€ or chocolate šŸ«

(And for the aficionados - which variety?)

Cheese, a tasty cheddar for me is a favourite. I don’t eat much chocolate these days.

BlueBelle Wed 14-Aug-24 07:16:47

Cheese
I really don’t like chocolate very much at all rarely eat it except an odd individual soft centre at Christmas and never buy chocolate but I like all cheeses soft, hard, flavoured

TerriBull Wed 14-Aug-24 07:17:23

Really hard! sometimes think, when I'm eating a cheese such as Stilton, it has the same euphoric effect as chocolate. I'll opt for chocolate, none of the 70% or more cocoa solids, healthy in small doses stuff, I'll have the bog standard unhealthy Cadburys thank you very much.

TerriBull Wed 14-Aug-24 07:19:26

I meant to add I hardly ever have chocolate which makes its desirability greater, well for me anyway.

Babs03 Wed 14-Aug-24 07:20:35

Chocolate though I love cheese, I just love chocolate a bit more, always cheers me up when feeling upset.

Babs03 Wed 14-Aug-24 07:21:33

Yep, no posh stuff, Cadbury’s milk choc every time.

TillyTrotter Wed 14-Aug-24 07:26:57

Cheese for me.
A runny Brie, a mature Cheddar with crunchy crackers and pear & fig chutney. Mmmm .. it’s making my mouth water typing this.

Wouldn’t be bothered if I ate neither again as I can’t eat most cheese nor am I a chocolate addict.
Now if you were to pose the choice of never drinking coffee or wine again…..!

Nooo!
That would be inhuman.

Cheese. I’ve found that I can get by without chocolate, but would hate to be deprived of a bit of good farmhouse Lancashire or cave-aged Roquefort with water biscuits, or a rich cheese sauce made with extra mature cheddar…….

I do love a piece of good quality dark chocolate from time to time, but if push came to shove, it'd have to be cheese! I love cheese - don't think I've ever found a cheese I didn't like, the stronger the better.

M0nica Wed 14-Aug-24 08:22:01

It is a no-brainer. Cheese. I actually do not particularly like chocolate and already eat very little,

If the little chocolate I do eat disappeared, I doubt I would notice.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 14-Aug-24 08:24:57

Cheese please.

Then I am torn between a bold English cheddar and a creamy Italian dolcelatte šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

LadyGracie Wed 14-Aug-24 08:25:31

Any strong cheese, I love cheese, but none of the ones with anything added, garlic, cranberries etc, a big yuk to those.

Marydoll Wed 14-Aug-24 08:28:16

If I ever eat cheese and chocolate together, I have a full blown migraine, however I love both, so a difficult choice.

I love most cheese, so it would need to be chocolate😢, I gave up.
My favourite it is an extra mature Cornish Cheddar.

nanna8 Wed 14-Aug-24 08:29:45

Oh a nice blue cheese, maybe Stilton but I do like chocolate a lot. I’d find a way of getting that as well, don’t you worry!

Marydoll Wed 14-Aug-24 08:29:46

When we used to visit Rome, we would go to the Mercato Commerciale and taste the cheeses. It was cheese heaven!

dragonfly46 Wed 14-Aug-24 08:30:55

Definitely cheese - any variety except processed.
Chocolate is not a favourite of mine.

pascal30 Wed 14-Aug-24 08:40:01

cheese.. it's so versatile

Farmor15 Wed 14-Aug-24 08:52:57

Cheese - I seem to like chocolate less as I get older but I couldn't live without cheese!

JaneJudge Wed 14-Aug-24 08:55:04

Cheese smile
can I introduce you please, to a lump of Cheddar cheese

LaCrepescule Wed 14-Aug-24 08:55:15

Cheese, no contest. I don’t much like sugary food anymore and a strong cheddar or goat’s cheese does it for me every time.

cornergran Wed 14-Aug-24 08:56:22

Sad though I’d be to not have chocolate it would be cheese - any kind any time.

Grandmadinosaur Wed 14-Aug-24 08:57:48

Chocolate for me.

I like most types but not too much of the cheaper ones that are full of sugar Hotel Chocolat are favourites as are Lindt and the Italian Baci chocolates.

Mawmac Wed 14-Aug-24 08:57:57

Cheese, but please don’t make me choose just one.

1summer Wed 14-Aug-24 09:00:29

Cheese, love a blue cheese Stilton or St Agur.
