@nessisonett [shudders at the thought of cheese and jam]
No, in all seriousness, the flavour profiles just work. Banana is sweet, but not too sweet, whereas the more mature the cheddar, the better it complements. At least in my experience.
But then there's absolutely no accounting for taste, so I'd still approach with caution!

@Thrillho LOL Spray cheese isn't real cheese. I fully believe it's a form of edible plastic with cheese flavoring added to it.
Still delicious, of course, even if it's likely something that belongs nowhere near the human digestive system.
@Kidfried I can't drink normal beer. Alcohol has a really nasty aftertaste to it. With that said, for 99% of the year, I'm a complete teetotaler, but on independence day, new year's even, and on election day during election years, I feel free to drink as many alcoholic root beers and lemonades as I want.
I have a feeling a LOT of alcohol will be consumed this November, in particular.
@Arugula You could always wear a Union Jack shirt. Maybe put up a yard sign or poster with King George III stomping one of those "don't tread on me" snakes. Greet people with "Happy Treason Day!"
Ironically, that sort of confrontational attitude would make you that much more of an honorary American.
@Ralizah Beer tastes bad so I have to find ones that I actually can stand. In other words, ones that taste ‘beery’ are out. Hence, the cheap crap like Bud, Corona, San Miguel are ok. I was always told growing up that we were allowed to drink in the house from the age of about 14 at which point we all inevitably overindulged, were completely sick and now none of us are big drinkers!
@nessisonett It really does. Cigarettes are also really nasty. My first time drinking a Budweiser was my last. Same with smoking a cigarette. I smelled for days from the smoke. The best protection against becoming a smoker or drinker was indulging in the stuff.
Flavored alcoholic drinks can be OK, though, as can the occasional alcoholic candy.
To be honest, despite drinking a decent amount on these occasions, I don't ever remember becoming actually drunk. I think it helps that I consume a lot of water in-between alcoholic beverages.
I can't say I've never gotten high, unfortunately. Not directly, but I did attend a concert with an adult friend when I was 15, and the sheer volume of secondhand weed smoke apparently had me acting strange all night when I returned home.
@Ralizah I remember a guy from school offering me weed at a party but I wasn’t fussed. His reply of ‘Ok p*ssy’ immediately made me believe in the powerful tool of peer pressure. The adverts were right!! 😂😂
Just getting caught up on this thread and I’m not sure how cheese talk turned into inebriation stories, but it’s been a pretty interesting discourse. 😂
For the record - cheese is awesome. Beer is gross. And happy 4th @Ralizah and @Arugula . I was a little worried about saying anything on a predominantly British site, but ... well, I think we can all agree that it’s been a long time, so it’s all water under the bridge, that whole rebellion thing and all. 😅
Speaking of food and 4th of July — Joey Chestnut is a god. 75 hot dogs in 10 minutes to break his own world record. How does his stomach hold all that?! 😝
