Every time I put cheese on a food, I know a bald eagle crows proudly somewhere.
My country has a lot to be ashamed of, but we damn well will put cheese in a dish in an unexpected/unreasonable/unnecessary way, and it will somehow still taste good.
I do this for spicy noodle soups, like ramen, where the oil in the broth often separates. Just a sprinkling of shredded cheddar emulsifies it and makes it extra hearty 🤌
I heard about people doing this and tried it and it just fucked my shit up. I even continued to try it a few more times after that failure, and couldn't get it to make sense to me. I probably need someone to show me I guess.
