Cashing in on
Dr Shambolic's cheese thread below, where I assume he means cheese with stuff in, such as white stilton with apricots rather than cheese served with stuff.
Near Christmas, I like to buy a load of small pieces of cheese, a box of assorted crackers and a bottle of red plonk. Regardless of what people say, cheese and wine parties are bollocks. The cheese completely overwhelms any subtleties of the wine, so there's no point getting a Chateau Neuf du Pape for £15 or whatever, when a £4 bottle of Paul Masson will be just as good.

Anyway, along with the Edam, Leerdamer, a strong cheedar, brie, English stilton and the dolcelatte, I spotted a new entry. It was a stilton with mint-choc chips in it.

Yes, you did read that correctly. I picked the smallest piece, about 60p,, and added it to my shopping. When I got home and created my ad hoc cheeseboard, and there sat my new unusual new cheese. I sliced a small piece off, stuck it on a neutral tasting cracker (some sort of water biscuit I think) and took a mouthful.

It was fucking rank. Whose fucking idea was mint-choc cheese? Not just the fact that someone thought of it, that it was passed and put into production? I cannot think of a food less unlikely. Except maybe liver-and-onion fudge and asparagus milkshake.

It seems I'm not the only one with this view:

Aha!
But if it's wierd enough, a million 'hmm- I wonder' purchases of a tiny bit add up.

There is a cheese factory near me that makes lavender cheese.
It smells of your nanna's hankies and tastes like Tweed perfume. However, they do make a cracking wasabi cheese that will clean your tubes out.

Another appalling combination
was one I read about in New York a few years ago. It was New Year's Eve and the local paper had a round-up of their favourite quotes of the year. One that caught my eye was, "That was the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. You'll have to excuse me, I think I'm going to puke."
The quote was from the paper's own intrepid reporter after he had just tried a new novelty food product: spamalamadingdong... chocolate-covered cubes of spam.
