LS Swapping is the automotive equivalent of putting Cheddar on things

Especially things that should not have Cheddar in them or Bacon. Like Risotto or any french dish ever.

I agree. While cheddar is good, it doesn’t always belong.

Disagree. Hot Sauce. In that it's not original in any way but most of the time it works.

Exactly, Cheddar is good on certain things, but not everything.

Everything should have bacon on it. Always. I reserve the right to “ruin” every food with bacony goodness.

Vermont, Wisconsin, New York, even Ireland... Cheddar is delicious and the best and I will hear no opposition.

There’s not a lot in a French countryside restaurant that doesn’t have bacon in it to start with. Except the wine, natch.

Yes, quite. It varies a bit depending on what part of the country you’re in, but most French savoury food uses at least some bacon in the base, stock, sauce, whatever. Poultry is usually larded with bacon. Every time anything is fried, they chuck in a handful of lardons.

That’s what makes cheddar a great analogy. It’s good, but not on everything.

You wouldn’t put cheddar in your Thanksgiving turkey, would you?

crowmolly > My citroen won't start 10/28/2015 at 13:40

Sounds right to me.

Throwing cheddar on a poorly made, lifeless dish can still make it downright tasty.

Oh sure, you can use pork as the basis of the dish, that is one thing, the other is ordering a Ratatouille and asking if they have any bacon.

If you go to a French country restaurant and order the rat, it’s not like you can really make anything worse from there.

If you mean rashers specifically, then no. Just no.

Anyway they cause cancer. At least, that’s the theory today.

The rasher will be probably be a super food next year.

But taking an Iron Duke Camaro and sprinkling it with cheddar is an interesting proposition.

That’s 2 reasons now. 1=In MERICA (fuck yeah), bacon goes on everything, usually in conjunction with cheese. 2=someone, at some point, will show or hand you a gun.

There’s a burger place here in Indianapolis that has a burger called the ‘Burnt Cheese’. Basically, they put a piece of cheddar on the grill so that it gets all crispy. Then they put it on the burger with some more cheese. It's amazing.

Je regrette que je dois te dire, mais tu as tort. Il y a beaucoup de bacon en la cuisine Française. Par example, le pain de viande Niçoise a bacon et champignons et il est delicieux.

If one considers Pancetta or Prosciutto to be bacon then I wholeheartedly agree with you.

100% correct.

And a small-block chevy is that processed flat square of cheese you get in vacuum packed bags.

Sure it works on things that you put cheese on, but if you’re putting cheese on something there’s plenty of other more interesting cheeses out there.

A bit of Gruyere? Gorgonzola? Wensledale? Grana Padano?

So many interesting choices...

Some places in the US (south) put a slice of cheddar on apple pie. I don’t get it and don’t want it.

In some places of the U.S. it’s customary to serve hot apple pie with a slice of cheddar on top.

It’s gross but if they’re gonna do it anyways they could at least use classier white Vermont cheddar.
