All the ingredients are readily available at Machane Yehudah - Jerusalem's central outdoor produce market: Take a dry fig, put a dollop of soft plain goat cheese on it, sprinkle with candied pecans and voila! Instant orgasm of the mouth. This isn't a contest entry by the way. I'm just sharing. Also Mara? Poutine comes in many varieties. The most authentic and most unkosher is a combo of greasy french fries (fried in lard svp), melted cheese curds, and beef or chicken gravy. The least authentic, and an affront to Québecois culture, is what's sold at Burger Kings in Quebec: Mass produced pre cut french fries, cheese of some kind and hot BBQ sauce. Vegetarian friendly but degeulasse! Not that I would know. Despite the fact that je suis Québecois, being kosher I have never eaten that artery clogging dish. And with any luck, I never will.

Potatoes, heavy cream, Gorgonzola or a nice veiny blue cheese of another sort, pepper...yum. Of course there are infinite variations, but I am a firm believer that potatoes au gratin should include cheese of some sort. I have also been known to say "I love you almost as much as cheese" which for me is quite a bit. Potatoes plus cheese is always a hit...Poutine, or quality cheese fries can't be beat.

If I have to pick though it might be one of my favorite brunchy foods: 2-3 scarmbled eggs kept together in omellete form topped with melty delicious pepper jack cheese topped with a spoon of fresh salsa all on top of a bed of fresh arugula and mustard greens or my new guilty pleasure mac and cheese: whole weat macaroni, spinach and garlic, fresh tomoatoes, mushrooms, with melty pepper jack and gruyere oyy now i'm hungry What’s a better cheese dish than a hunk of cheese on a dish and some fresh fruit?

Perhaps after the Passover rush, I'll submit photos of my cheese monger and his world-wide wares.

It's essentially a savory bread pudding with lots of grated cheese between the layers. Makes a great Shabbat lunch.

Grilled cheese sammies, mac&cheese, or sliced on crackers are all wonderful... ...but I think that my favorite way to have some of that Chipotle Cheddar would be at breakfast, shredded and scattered liberally atop a bowl of steaming grits, possibly with a fried or poached egg nestled in the middle. There's no better justification of a big salad for lunch :) Cheese is amazing! Grilled cheese sammies, mac&cheese, or sliced on crackers are all wonderful…
