Homebrew Do people in your game world put cheese on their apple pies??

[Mind of tempest]

I wasn’t impressed with tiramisu myself…until I had some in Italy. What I had there was a completely different beast from what I’d been served in the USA to that point.

It was a stronger, more definitively coffee flavored taste, carefully balanced with sweetness.

gods that sounds disgusting and I have had non tomarto based sause for spaghetti and meat balls.

Like béchamel, alfredo, or pesto sauces?

related to gravy but very far removed, mom is allergic to half those sauces.

It's a pretty common dessert in my family. Growing up, we were always putting dairy on our pies: whipped cream, ice cream, shredded cheese, custard, buttercream, all of it.

No, but a common breakfast dish is an extremely aged cheese like black brie, topped with some kind of extremely sweet fruit jam and an acid like citrus juice or verjus and then baked. There's no crust, but it's kind of a deconstructed cheese and pie-filling meal.

For OP and everyone:

"...The idea appears to have originated in England, where all sorts of fillings were added to pies. At some point, the 17th-century trend of adding dairy-based sauces to pies morphed into a tradition of topping them with cheese. For instance, in Yorkshire, apple pie was served with Wensleydale, which is likely how the phrase “an apple pie without the cheese is like a kiss without the squeeze” began. (Though it is in dispute whether the phrase originated in the United States or England, it caught on in both places in the 19th century, suggesting a kind of cultural collaboration between the two.)..."

I learned this idiom in the US as:

"Apple pie without cheddar cheese,
is like a hug without a squeeze."

The Long, Storied Controversy Over Cheese on Apple Pie

 

[Marc17]

Never heard of cheese on apple pie, but I like pineapple on pizza, so what do I know?

As somebody that worked a lot of pizza in the 80's and 90's, pineapple was an uncontroversial standard topping, although usually pared with ham, until the internet arrived and people started fake outrage over fairly common things to drive clicks/troll and/or because they forgot anchovies exist.

As for cheese on apple pie, I have heard of it but never actually seen it done. Sliced apples and cheese together as an appetizer, snack, or part of some sort of tray has always been fairly common.

what is verdigris?
and where is that dish from?

*I only know Verdigris as the green patina of oxidised copper, which I thought was toxic

I assume they mean verjuice or verjus, highly acidic juice made by pressing unripe grapes, and autocorrupt probably changed it.
