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?)

This was a hard decision, but I did a sort of comparison.
Chocolate or cheese on toast? Either.
Chocolate or cheese for dessert? Either
Chocolate or cheese for a snack? Either
Cauliflower chocolate or cauliflower cheese?

No! I’ll have to choose cheese.

I don't think I'd miss chocolate very much but a life without cheese would be miserable. If I had to pick one type .... ooh, that's unkind but maybe my choice would be a lovely, sharp young Wensleydale.

Difficult choice but cheese wins for me. Brie/Camembert.

There are so many different kinds of cheese that eating it would never become boring.

At a rough count 72 votes for cheese 27 for chocolate, plus a number of posts that either discusses the decision or other people's decisions

Thanks šŸ˜„

If bounty bars did not exist, I could live without chocolate. I do like cheese though. If a bounty bar without chocolate existed I could give up chocolate.

No need to taste Norwegian brown, the colour puts you off. Looks like a block of kitchen soap.

Ah - but the taste is delicious. šŸ˜‹

Oh grannyactivist- Norwegian brown cheese is the work of the devil!

No, no - you couldn’t be more wrong - it’s definitely made by angels and is my secret ingredient in a yummy venison stew. šŸ˜‹
My husband buys it for me from the ScandiKitchen in London. He actually buys the stronger version for himself.

I’m dairy intolerant, but sometimes the temptation is just too much and it’s worth the pain and ā€˜digestive repercussions’! I’m a bit of a tart when it comes to cheese and go for anything! blush blushšŸ˜†

Chocolate? Could live without it.

Harris27 Thu 15-Aug-24 17:41:03

Chocolate definitely.

mumstheword86 Thu 15-Aug-24 17:22:06

Cheese. When young, it would have been the choc choice, but as we've got older, tastes change, and chocolate gets a bit sickly -- we can no longer get through a packet of choc digestives in one sitting (with tea of course).

Red Leicester and Double Gloucester are good basic choices, but there are loads of less well-known types round the country, all good. Did someone say soft cheese though? Yuk.

And did someone vote for Cadbury's on the choc front? I thought I'd read it doesn't have actual chocolate in it, anymore?! Just chemicals?!

Oh, one thought -- IF anyone can bring back those bars from yesteryear (Fry's?) dark choc with each section having a different fruit/colour, and they'd taste as they did back then, maybe cheese has to go!

Best of all (hard to get) a proper crumbly young not mature Lancashire cheese...

LizzieDrip Wed 14-Aug-24 23:09:01

Cheese definitely. Could live without chocolate (reluctantly) but not cheese!!!

Mojack26 Wed 14-Aug-24 22:57:53

Defo give up chocolate as I love cheese! More savoury tooth than sweet

grannyactivist Wed 14-Aug-24 22:52:31

Cheese! A lovely Somerset Brie, mature cheddar, Norwegian brown cheese, Cornish yarg………..I could go on, but you get the picture. šŸ˜‹

Aww come on, that's a cruel choice to have to make.
